5G is coming. Will you be ready? To help prepare you, we recently sat down with our resident expert, Managing Director of Eagle Eye Networks Europe\/Middle East\/Africa\/India (EMEAI) operations, Rishi Lodhia, who shares his vision of 5G and what it will mean to business, and more specifically, the video surveillance industry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is 5G?<\/b><\/p>\n

Lodhia: 5G is the fifth and next generation of mobile communication technology. Experts say the fastest 5G networks will be at least 10 times faster (some say 20 times faster) than 4G LTE. It has already launched, though on a small scale, and is being predominantly driven by the need to connect more devices and collect more data in real time. The new technology is expected to propel transformative, innovative technologies, for both the consumer and business markets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s all the hype?<\/b><\/p>\n

Lodhia: The big story around 5G is its computing speed. It is much faster than 4G and has greater bandwidth, enabling it to handle more connected devices. And latency is extremely low, meaning there\u2019s minimal delay between the time a connected device makes a request from a server and gets back a response. In addition, the higher bandwidth enables big data to be pushed up to the cloud, which in turn, makes artificial intelligence (AI) and supercomputing vastly more available and effective.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What does this mean for business?<\/b><\/p>\n

Lodhia: 5G will help make businesses more efficient, robust, and innovative and give consumers seemingly unlimited access to information faster than we can imagine today. One industry that will certainly benefit is automotive. In fact, smart cars are really driving the demand for 5G, because they rely on the ability to push large amounts of data to the cloud very fast, with extremely low latency. Other sectors that rely on 5G include those that are increasingly cloud connected and data driven, like smart cities, smart factories, and industrial IoT \u2013 think freight trains, cargo ships, oil rigs, and construction sites \u2013 that need to have billions of devices connected simultaneously. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What does 5G mean for the video surveillance industry, specifically?<\/b><\/p>\n

Lodhia: 5G presents tremendous opportunity for the video surveillance<\/a> industry. It gives us the ability to pull video and data from countless devices \u2013 so, not only from fixed video security cameras, but also mobile video devices like body cams (on bus drivers, train conductors, Uber Eats drivers) and video drones, which will be particularly powerful for end users such as farmers, oil and gas companies drilling remotely, marinas, and sporting arenas. We will be freed from fixed-location cameras; moving objects can have cameras now. Mobile cameras will be as predominant in the future as mobile phones are today. 5G will absolutely take \u201cautonomous\u201d security to the next level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What benefits will it afford the video surveillance industry?<\/b><\/p>\n

Lodhia: With 5G each video surveillance device can have its own connectivity to the cloud, so there\u2019s no local interference \u2013 which is game changing from a cybersecurity perspective. In addition, 5G frees users from all the hassles associated with connectivity and bandwidth. On the backend you could be working with multiple connectivity providers \u2013 like your cellphone when it\u2019s on roaming. Also, if you wire your devices and the fixed network fails, you can use the 5G network as a reliable and capable backup.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And, probably most exciting, we can apply artificial intelligence<\/a> (AI) to the large volumes of data being sent to the cloud with low latency, and quickly send back relevant, actionable intelligence. This will foster the rise of \u201cautonomous security,\u201d which is essentially technology (for example, automated robots and drones) that can perform various security and surveillance operations, including monitoring, investigating, and reporting.<\/p>\n

Are there any drawbacks to 5G?<\/b><\/p>\n

Lodhia: At the moment, few devices have 5G and the infrastructure isn\u2019t fully baked. However, IoT device manufacturers are currently investing in producing products with 5G, and countries are competing to be the first to offer it nationwide. Widespread adoption could take years, but if we\u2019re not working towards it today, we\u2019ll be late to the game. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
