5G as a Key Technology for Industry 4.0
The global 5G-ACIA initiative plans to establish the new mobile telecommunications standard throughout industrial production to pave the way for digitalization. WAGO is actively shaping the development as a member.
5G technology promises to deliver a decisive advantage over current generations of mobile telecommunications: It will enable real-time data transmission. Data rates will be up to 100 times faster. Moreover, many more devices can be operated in a 5G cell than with today’s standards, and with 5G, interruptions during transmission will become a thing of the past. All of these are requirements that are indispensable for future key technologies – such as for autonomous driving, telemedicine or networking of production facilities.
The Benefits of 5G Technology:
- It provides fast, reliable and high-availability data transmission.
- Real-time communication is possible thanks to extremely low latency capabilities.
- It makes massive IoT applications possible.
- It enables new service offerings and business models.
- It accelerates seamless networking and the digital transformation in production.
