Singtel launches 5G+, with first deployment of 700 MHz spectrum in Singapore.
Industry 4.0 up and running
Smart technology applications will change the way manufacturing shop floors operate. Use cases include root cause analysis, digital workforce, sustainable manufacturing, video analytics, preventative maintenance and asset management will factor productivity and efficiency needs.
Teleoperations at work
Successful tests in the construction sector help develop remote operations of equipment and improve worker safety. Other use cases across the transportation, and logistics and supply chain sectors include using automated guided vehicles plus fleet- and freight-management to drive efficiency and minimise errors.
Seamless operations and maintenance
Expect smooth operation with predictive maintenance and procedures around smart buildings, built environment, construction, managing facilities, ports and other freight handling facilities, including the use of drones and robotics.
Immerse in augmented and virtual reality
Media and entertainment, government and public services, and energy and utilities use cases exhibit high readiness and value through the use of UHD 4K video, immersive realities, and AI-powered intelligence. These can also be applied to field service, especially in training and education sectors.While 5G holds great potential, many businesses struggle to know how, when, or where to begin.
For a start, while many businesses think that implementing a 5G-only solution is enough, businesses need to consider their existing devices and application investments, including their combined wired and wireless technologies, as part of their overall ICT ecosystem.
As such, 5G networks are a convincing technology to complement the enterprise’s existing connectivity, that will most likely be a hybrid of the best of 3G, 4G LTE/LTE-A, WiFi, Wi-Fi 6, and 5G.
It starts with finding the ‘right’ use case, through identifying and quantifying 5G use cases.
Businesses can consider the four dimensions to evaluate a use case:
Build comprehensive cost models that will help you evaluate the potential outcome of the total cost of ownership and support your ROI account. It will also help you outline the investment milestones needed and the projected financial commitment to see the project through.
Examine the crucial points of a use case to the business, such as security and scalability, that are required to deliver the value of the data from the use case back to the business.
Evaluate workloads and the kind of data traversing the network for the particular use case, and if they require the mobility, latency and capacity that 5G provides.
Consider the broader ecosystem required to derive the maximum value from your investments for both the short and long term sustainability. Bringing together a 5G use case is not just a matter of connecting endpoints to some location, but requirements around network and endpoint management, and redundancy must be considered to continually increase the value of the solution to the business.
5G will highly impact the way Industry 4.0 players, or “smart factories”, produce and distribute goods.
5G has the potential to enhance the supply chain viabilities and to monitor real-time tracking of cargo and parcels. This will reduce losses and lag-time due to human factors and inefficiencies, resulting in cost savings and a seamless automated process.
5G will be the driving force for the future of transportation.
Steer towards an immersive digital space of 5G technologies like V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communication: V2V: (Vehicle-to-Vehicle), V2I (Vehicle-to-Infrastructure), autonomous and connected cars, for route planning and energy-saving strategies.
5G will give retail customer experiences a total makeover.
Singtel and Apple’s enterprise partners joined forces to power Singapore’s very first 5G-enabled Smart Retail Showcase. It simulates the environment of a real retail store, unlocking innovative solutions for a new level of customer experiences.
The 5G revolution will recreate the blueprint for the building industry.
Expect optimised workflow and streamlined coordination processes, and human intervention will take a back seat handling autonomous machinery, like self-driving vehicles, drones, 3D printing and AR gadgets. Engineered to help build faster, with less manpower and fewer costly errors.
