Making 5G Successful 4 Enterprises

5G has several distinctive enablers, which
will not only accelerate new applications
and services adoptions, but also create
an opportunity for Telecom Operators to
transform their role and business models
for enterprises.

As enterprises continue on the journey of Industrial Revolution
4.0, it’s important to be aware that it is not just about investing
in new technology and tools to improve productivity and
efficiency, but revolutionizing how businesses leverage every
aspect of their operation and are able to collect data, analyze
and advise upon it.
The initial adoptions have mostly been, Silos based IoT
implementations based on static sequential systems by
enterprises verticals like Manufacturing, Transportation/
Roadways, Ports, Oil & Gas, Energy & Utilities. Those “Smart”
Initiatives are well recognized and have essentially achieved
“clever” outcomes by mostly focusing on Digital deliverables
for automating the Non real time - Next best actions.
The future use case adoptions require that the architecture
for any enterprise progressing on IoT implementations should
be designed for achieving large bandwidth, with a scalability
to connect millions of devices, whilst delivering on real-time
monitoring and analytics, The present implementations have
been mainly constrained due to Network connectivity with
Fiber Optics which are cost prohibitive as well as lead to
operational roadblocks. 5G Technology and especially 5G NR Abhishek Malhotra

Network Transformations with 5G will ensure:
• 5G adoptions will enable Optimization and Scalability of
assets with use cases tailored for specific QoS (Slicing),
Latency definitions for industrial applications.
• URLLC with Spatial diversity with 5G will achieve 99.9999%
Reliability which is a key enabler for adopting challenging
industrial IoT applications.
• Flexibility with wireless Ethernet, Replace wireline industrial
Ethernet for reconfigurable factories
• On-device processing and sensing
