What does 5G mean for manufacturing?

5G mobiles are those devices that can connect to 5th Generation wireless networks (mmWave, sub-6GHz, and low-band frequencies) , as defined by industry standards body 3GPP. Here is a list of 5G smartphones launched across the world.

Increasing deployment of the fifth generation of cellular wireless technology , colloquially known as 5G, will empower manufacturers and their workers to meet this future. 5G will usher in faster speeds, greater throughput and lower latency.

The impact of 5G on manufacturing could be huge. … 5G technology could help production operations in the manufacturing industry become more flexible and efficient while enhancing safety . This would enable manufacturers to build “smart factories” that rely on automation, augmented reality, and IoT.
