| Abstract |
5G-enabled IoT can make a significant contribution to society by providing and advancing intelligent services for human beings. The applications of 5G-enabled IoT range to all society segments, such as industry, agriculture, environment, traffic, healthcare, logistics, and many more. Thus, it comes up as a good topic to research and makes the masses aware of it. The scale by which human lives will be made more accessible, productive, secure, and healthy and the need for this to be brought forward by the masses serve as the motivation for this chapter. In this chapter, we describe 5G-enabled IoT and its importance in the modern industries. It should detail upon applications of 5G-enabled IoT, which are assumed to bring revolutions like smart cities, advanced healthcare, smart homes, automated agriculture, autonomous vehicles, intelligent supply chain management, and how all the applications will reduce cost and labor. We shall also briefly touch upon some of the disadvantages and some rumors of the upcoming fifth generation of the Internet, making the people stand against these modern technologies' uprise. 5G is the fifth generation of wireless technology. It is meant to provide very high data transfer speeds and more reliable networks, seamlessly connect a massive number of embedded sensors, and provide extremely low-cost connectivity solutions. The Internet of Things is a system of computing devices, sensors, etc. which are connected via the Internet and can communicate with each other, i.e., transfer data without any human intervention. However, with the advent of 5G, IoT is meant to go through revolutionary changes. 5G will enable us to remotely control a more significant number of devices and allow data transfers at benchmark speeds in applications where real-time network performance is critical. Thus, 5G will bring out the full potential of IoT. 5G-enabled IoT will leave a lasting expression in fields of automation, machine intelligence, and smart systems. As mentioned above, domains like smart cities, autonomous vehicles, automated factories, intelligent machine tools, augmented and virtual reality, healthcare, etc. are going to experience substantial technological advancements with the advent of 5G-enabled IoT systems. Innovation in the automation industry would boom as they have increased the use of IoT to connect cars, connecting with traffic and road services, etc. This vast increase in connected devices requires a superior network to manage it in overall speed, capacity, and latency. In these areas, 5G is set to make a significant improvement over current 4G LTE standards. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021. All rights reserved. |
