He 5G leadership and 5G SA It facilitates that the industry can incorporate this technology into its processes. The 5G SA enhances the 5G capabilities by using it throughout the network infrastructure -core and radio access-, which implies greater data and reliability speeds, and a lower latency. This is especially interesting for companies, since it allows to implement advanced functionalities such as the Network Slicing o el Edge Computingwhich are of great relevance in sectors such as industry or logistics. Or in the services that occur in the ports and in some public services, such as citizen attention.
Therefore, from Telefónica we have worked for several years in the business possibilities of 5G SA through the realization of various cases of use with real clients. And, only one year ago, we became the first operator in Spain to launch a mobile connectivity service with Network Slicing 5g for companieswhich we have installed pioneer in the service of 112 of Extremadura.
In this way, 5G SA is offering companies the possibility of creating an ecosystem of services and solutions that respond to their specific needs, increase their competitiveness and optimize their processes.
The incorporation of the most disruptive technologies by the hand of 5G
5G SA provides Flexibility necessary to have a card to the letter. In addition, it gives companies the possibility of creating a virtual private network on the public network to provide specialized services, prioritizing traffic through these network partitions, which guarantees the assignment of exclusive resources; 5G SA serves to develop new services thanks to its ability to enhance other technologies, such as Edge Computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI) or the Internet of Things (IoT).
The 5G provides 100 times more speed than 4G networks and is safer, but to optimize the use of applications that need to process many data, as is the case with augmented reality solutions, it is necessary that the processing be transferred to the edge of the network. The combination of this technology with the Edge Computing allows information to travel at a higher speed at a lower distance for it can be processed.
When the data is processed in locations close to the device that generates them, the amount of information to be sent to the cloud decreases, which causes network traffic and costs that are associated with the storage and transmission of data, thus reducing the dependence of cloud servers or data centers located thousands of kilometers. This translates into a greater ease of remote control and industrial machines, or the implementation of services where latency is fundamental, such as the realization of remote surgical operations, or the replica of digital twins of factories in other locations.
The Incorporation of the predictive AI to the 5G networks It is a technological improvement that allows to detect in advance the problems that may arise in manufacturing, discarding defective products before they are manufactured and carrying out predictive maintenance. This contributes to better decision making.
He advance in sensorization and connectivity through IoT It favors a better performance of the operators when working with the machines and the data they generate, contributing to an improvement of production and a reduction of accidents, among other benefits.
In short, we have the keys to make our factories and production processes adapt more quickly to demand fluctuations and an unpredictable economic environment. In Telefónica we hold our hand to all companies to take this great opportunity.
