What is the relationship between 5G and the Internet of Things?

　　 The Internet of Everything, the future is here, the advantages of high-bandwidth, low-latency 5G technology will greatly improve the efficiency of digital transmission, not only change our lives, but also promote the upgrading and development of various industries. What changes will the realization of 5G bring to the Internet of Things? How should we understand the relationship between 5G and the Internet of Things?

What is 5G?

　　 5G refers to the fifth-generation mobile phone mobile communication standard, also known as the fifth-generation communication technology. We are all very familiar with 4G, which has greatly improved our Internet speed. Compared with 4G, the speed of 5G has made a qualitative leap, and its peak rate will increase dozens of times, from 4G’s 100Mb per second. Dozens of Gb per second. At the same time, the end-to-end delay will also be reduced from tens of milliseconds in 4G to a few milliseconds in 5G. This means that after the realization of 5G, we can download more than 10 high-definition movies in 1 second, which greatly improves our Internet and communication speed.

What is the Internet of Things?

　　 Regarding the Internet of Things (IoT), the Internet of Things refers to the real-time collection of any required information such as any object or process that needs to be monitored, connected, and interacted through various information sensing devices, and it is combined with the Internet to form a huge network. The purpose of the Internet of Things is to realize the connection between things and things, things and people, and all things and the network, so as to facilitate identification, management and control. We can also simply understand the Internet of Things as the Internet of things connected.

What is the relationship between 5G and the Internet of Things?

　　 Many people don’t understand the connection between 5G and the Internet of Things. What 5G brings to us is not only faster internet speeds, but more, broader and deeper impacts. According to the Qualcomm report, 5G will create a global economic output of 12.3 trillion U.S. dollars by 2035. From 2020 to 2035, 5G's contribution to global GDP growth is expected to be equivalent to that of an economy of the same scale as India.

　　 So what impact does the Internet of Things have on 5G? The Internet of Things is the prelude and foundation of 5G commercial use. The purpose of developing 5G is to bring convenience to our production and life, and the Internet of Things provides a great effort for 5G. On this stage, 5G can play its own powerful role through many Internet of Things applications: smart agriculture, smart logistics, smart home, car networking, smart city and other real implementations.

　　 Therefore, the relationship between 5G and the Internet of Things is not a competitor, but a complementary relationship. The two interact and work together to benefit the development of human society. The realization of 5G will not only bring a profound impact on the Internet of Things, but also extremely Greatly promote economic development.
