Mobile Communication: From 5G to IoT Connectivity
Mobile Communication: From 5G to IoT Connectivity Today, mobile networks are not just about phones. They connect sensors, vehicles, and smart devices across homes, factories, and cities. The shift from 4G to 5G opened new ways to support the Internet of Things (IoT). This helps people and businesses stay better connected with less effort. 5G brings three main capabilities: high speed for rich apps, very low latency for real-time control, and the ability to connect many devices at once. These features support IoT in ways we could not before. Network slicing is another key idea. It lets operators create virtual networks for different tasks. A factory may run a fast slice for robotics, while a city uses a lower-cost slice for street sensors and parking meters. ...
