FEATURE : 5G the technological development that the country will be able to obtain with this technology .
For now , few devices support 5G in Brazil ( although new releases are coming monthly ), and the most you can do is watch movies on a faster stream . But also in Korea , the reality is already totally different , with applications of technology in solutions ranging from better monitoring and control of public services such as lighting and treated water , as well as in borders

5G , WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN TRIED OUT IN PILOT MODE IN SOME REGIONS OF BRAZIL , GOES FAR BEYOND OFFERING JUST MORE CONNECTION SPEED .

associated with the more effective use of telemedicine to control the COVID-19 pandemic .
And where does the Internet of Things come in ?
The concept of the Internet of Things is based on the understanding that 5G networks will make it possible , by their characteristics , to help connect the items used in daily life to the world wide web – ‘ things ’ such as appliances , transport , clothes , home parts and door handles connected via the Internet to other devices . a robotic arm to operate the patient remotely and instantly , because the arm emulates the actions taken by the doctor through the sensors in it .
This is a huge gain from 5G ’ s ‘ marriage ’ to the Internet of Things . What if Dr . João needs Dr . Amanda to help with the surgery and she is in Japan ? For 5G , it does not matter , because the network will be so powerful that the physical location of the doctors no longer makes a difference , as long as the operation of the mechanical arm is done using this type of technology in the same operating room as the patient .
5G and IoT for the consumer
The examples of potential applications are virtually endless . We will be able to make expeditions to remote places experiencing explorers ’ emotions , in the comfort and security of our homes ; Or even learn with the use of distance learning techniques enhanced by the use of virtual avatars that will be projected from our televisions ; Or smartwatches that we will be able to speak and interact from as if they were human ; and several other examples of science fiction from the past that will become a tangible and widespread reality .
When we all have these devices in hand , we ’ ll effectively see their functionality and how we ’ ll benefit from them . Whirlpool , for example , already uses IoT devices for predictive maintenance , environmental controls , monitoring processes using traditional Wi-Fi networks in the local area .
However , the home appliance giant expects 5G technology to deploy forklifts and other autonomous vehicles , thereby reducing costs and increasing productivity – words that every manager loves .
5G will be what will enhance the Internet of Things and complement it . It would be like asking if the iPhone and 4G are the same ; No , 4G only powers the iPhone , which has faster access to the Internet and improves the experience . What 5G will do with the internet of things will be the same .
Imagine a society in which all these economies and scale efficiencies become reality and can be passed on for our benefits , or users , with better and cheaper products and services . This may even reduce some of the social disparities that are so great in Brazil and why not ?
Telemedicine and its practical applications will be one of the first great examples of this radical transformation . Imagine that Dr . João , from São Paulo , will be able to operate on Dona Maria , in Recife . In normal times , he gets on a plane and goes to the hospital . But what if Dr . João stays in São Paulo and performs this procedure remotely ?
Using IoT and 5G , the surgery can be done remotely , saving valuable time and resources previously spent on Dr . João ’ s journey and travel . He will be able to control
And before anyone thinks I ’ m a dreamer , I recommend you to look for more information about the impact of technological advances on the economy of each family , the generation of wealth in society since the invention of the steam engine and the rise of the Industrial Revolution .
The advent of the Internet of Things and 5G on a scale could represent a transformation as , or more , profound than it is for ourselves , our companies and society in general . p
