Latin America. The changes that telecommunications will experience with the arrival of 5G will not apply only to human-to-human communications. The new generation of mobile technologies will also transform the way objects are connected, reaching a new era in the Internet of Things (IoT), as an infographic from 5G Americas points out.
Among the three main categories of use cases for 5G is the Massive Internet of Things (MIoT), which brings together applications that are characterized by providing connectivity to a very high number of devices within a limited geographical area. Thus, one of the technical characteristics of 5G is that it will allow a high density of very diverse devices connected to the network through a common framework.
To do this, MIoT will address the needs of Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) networks, which includes low-cost devices, with long-lasting batteries and coverage in extended areas, among others.
In this way, 5G will allow you to connect devices such as video surveillance cameras, sensors, actuators, motion detectors, alarm systems, wearable devices such as smart watches and bracelets, electricity meters, thermometers and countless other small terminals.
These devices will allow a wide diversity of applications that will have a great penetration both in cities and in suburban and rural areas, which will benefit both rural activities such as agriculture and livestock, to industrial and management uses of cities, buildings and homes, bringing more efficiency, safety and well-being to all spheres of human life.
