Fusing 5G, AI, and IoT for Intelligent Connectivity

Submitted by OodlesAI on Fri, 06/26/2020 - 22:11

The next-generation wireless connectivity 5G has touched the ground to fuel artificial intelligence (AI) with its much-needed data power. Coupled with the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G modules are set to magnify the scope of AI applications across industries. For businesses, the trio of 5G, AI, and IoT will harness intelligent connectivity to improve performance and service quality drastically. 5G’s 10 Gigabits/sec data rate, low latency, and reduced power consumption will push the adoption rate of AI and IoT in businesses further.

In this article, Oodles AI shares how the convergence of AI development services with 5G-infused IoT devices will realize the full potential of business automation.
How 5G, AI, and IoT Will Induce Intelligent Connectivity

Intelligent connectivity will thrive when 5G, AI, and IoT together will connect billions of devices and machines for generating value-driven industrial applications. For this, 5G’s disruptive speed, reliability, and connectivity will be greatly absorbed by AI and IoT through faster data transmission. Intelligent connectivity will, therefore, create a ripple effect with 5G pushing more data rates, IoT demonstrating higher computational power, eventually, machine learning development extracting deeper insights.

Wide coverage of data across business systems, national and international boundaries and institutions will herald several Industry 4.0 applications, such as-

a) Autonomous manufacturing

b) Connected offices

c) Sensor-based security

d) Real-time emergency services

c) Smart payments, and others.

Contrary to the highly-interrupted and expensive Wi-Fi 6 networks, 5G connectivity will provide 50x more speed, 10X less latency, and 1000x more capacity.

It will enable businesses to process huge amounts of unutilized data closer to its source, thereby developing both on-cloud and edge AI applications. Global 5G network provider, Qualcomm suggests that 5G, AI, IoT will create a new computing paradigm. The combination will empower businesses to transfer processed data immediately from devices to the cloud for the in-depth analysis, as shown below-

Also, the giant 5G enabler believes the intersection of 5G, AI, and IoT will give rise to ‘distributed learning’ over wireless devices. It will lead to the development of better privacy, more scalable applications, and highly personalized customer experiences.
Transformative Applications With 5G, AI, and IoT Technologies

Although IoT module suppliers will be the first beneficiary of 5G, we are focusing on the trailing industrial automation use-cases with the trio. According to McKinsey Global research, 5G will stimulate a wave of industrial automation for functions that largely involve cameras, video-streaming, computer vision, and machine learning. Let us explore some of the AI-led enterprise applications that will be significantly impacted by 5G IoT modules.
