The initial deployments of 5G cellular networks are already believed to be a game-changer in connectivity, enabling faster, more stable, and secure connections. 5G telecom networks have significantly transformed the communication ecosystem by presenting extraordinary speed, extended bandwidth, low latency, and increased network capability to connect several devices simultaneously. This increased efficiency has huge potential in the connectivity of smart devices or the Internet of Things (IoT). The post-covid era will see a huge increase in smart remote devices as the concept of remote working and better interactions has enhanced several enterprises. 

The performance of an IoT device is often linked to its effective interaction between devices and network connectivity. Since it's imperative that IoT devices must communicate with other devices and apps in real-time, it is absolutely necessary that the devices must be connected to high-speed networks. With the advent of 5G services, operators will guarantee that their networks will be able to handle thousands of devices simultaneously with increased efficiency. 

Here are some of the several benefits of 5G connectivity in smart IoT devices.
 

Enhanced transmission speed

5G will be capable of providing increased speed in data transmissions among connected IoT devices. Moreover, smart IoT devices such as thermal scanners, heat sensors, object detection cameras etc, that are leveraged for the prevention of the COVID-19 pandemic will be able to transmit huge amounts of data to the end-users. This instant transmission of data will help identify affected people quickly and can also help in remote monitoring of patients. 

Decrease in latency

Latency is the time required for a device to take action once the order is given. Or else in simple words, we can say, the interval in between the action and the order. In 5G networks, the latency will be significantly much lesser. This will decrease the reaction time for smart IoT devices much more than in 4G networks. With the help of low latency real-time actions that require precision and accuracy can be performed efficiently.  For example, industrial machinery can be controlled from an entirely different geographical location by the site supervisor. The same goes for healthcare, the reduced latency will help surgeons to perform surgery on patients by controlling devices and without the need to be physically present at the operation theatre. Enterprises can also even leverage chatbot development services to create bots that can remotely interact with customers without the need for human intervention. 5G will enable the integration of innovative technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), so that the bots can analyze huge amounts of Big Data to provide relevant information.

More connected devices on a network

5G networks will enable thousands of IoT device connectivity with an instant connection to the internet. This will significantly enhance real-time information exchange among devices and controlling applications. From smart connected homes to multimillion-dollar industries, 5G will enhance network connectivity even if there are thousands of devices connected at a time. This efficient interconnectivity will have a huge potential in empowering smart cities as well as self-driving autonomous cars.
