CLOUD AND CYBER
The integration of 5G networks is progressing rapidly every day . A huge improvement on 4G speeds , 5G opens up numerous opportunities while removing network congestion and enabling us to connect with each other and the world with ease .
As it offers higher bandwidth , lower latency and reliable wireless internet connections , 5G wireless technologies have the potential to transform several industries and consumer experiences . Due to this , Shamik Mishra , Chief Technology Officer Connectivity at Capgemini Engineering , explains : “ Machine-tomachine communication and connectivity for critical infrastructures like public safety , manufacturing and ports can now reliably interconnect devices , taking the full benefit of data and cloud to deliver new revenues , better productivity and new experiences .”
With 4G generations and previous wireless networks , all devices received the same service , but , as different industries have different requirements for their networks , it would be more effective for the customer if the networks were differentiated .
“ Network slicing is a concept built into 5G standards by 3GPP , which makes this differentiation of service possible . Telecom operators can now create several distinct , virtual , independent networks within the same physical network , each catering to a different kind of service ,” says Mishra .
“ For example , operators can now offer separate networks for connected vehicles as compared to industrial automation . This makes it more flexible for operators to deliver services and provides increased
