In smart cities, 5G won’t just lessen congestion, it could save lives too
While 5G will bring unprecedented internet speeds, there are also a variety of other benefits the network will bring to light, such as smart city initiatives, safety, video analytics, gunshot detection, cyber capabilities, and improving operational efficiencies. For example, audio nodes, installed on light poles can detect gunshots, magnetometers embedded in the pavement can monitor traffic, and motion and proximity sensors in traffic lights can raise or lower LED lighting depending on the traffic density at night.
