5G: What it means for the Internet of Things

original english version

"5G promises that next-generation Internet of Things (IoT) devices will require higher bandwidth and ultra-reliable low-latency communications to drive the digital transformation of business processes, transportation, smart IT, and public safety.

What is the Internet of Things?
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the billions of physical devices around the world that are now connected to the internet, collecting and sharing data. Thanks to the advent of ultra-cheap computer chips and the ubiquity of wireless networks, it is possible to turn anything from small to large to airplanes into part of the Internet of Things. Connecting all these different objects and adding sensors to them can provide a level of digital intelligence to devices that are inherently clumsy, allowing them to communicate data in real time without humans involved. The Internet of Things is bringing the digital and physical worlds together, making the fabric of the world around us smarter and more responsive. "
