5G will reshape industries, ushering in immersive technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning. But the true transformation happens when everything from traffic lights to living room lamps are online. 5G will not only improve your wireless experience, it will redefine it.
Knowing first responders can make life saving decision in an instant is pivotal. When a wildfire laps at a neighborhood’s perimeter, firefighters can’t question whether their communications equipment is advanced, speedy and reliable.
5G technology not only is expected to connect more devices, it will one day enable more information sharing with shorter lag times when seconds matter most. The leading cause of death on the job among firefighters is cardiac arrest. A sensor that identifies when a firefighter’s heart rate is abnormal could enable a commander to pull that first responder from the fire before a heart attack occurs.
And through our public-private partnership with the First Responder Network Authority, we are bringing public safety communications into the 21st century. FirstNet — public safety’s dedicated, nationwide communications platform is for America’s police, firefighters, EMS personnel and other first responders. We are already working with the First Responder Network Authority on the best path to make 5G available to first responders, as the technology becomes more mature, is available to a large portion of the population, and standards are developed for critical services including Priority and Preemption, Mission Critical services, and applications. By uniting responders on one dedicated core, it helps public safety respond efficiently with less barriers and connect to the critical information they need when they need it — every day and in every emergency.
Every sports fan knows the rush of viewing their favorite team’s game in person from 20 or 40 feet away. 5G will get you even closer to the action — like on-the-field close. Imagine one day experiencing the huddle of your home team from the comfort of your couch.
Our season of innovation is just getting started with 5G.
5G can someday make factory floors smarter and safer. Powered by 5G, IoT technology collects and relays performance data from connected machines in near real-time.
Today, AT&T and the Manufacturing x Digital Institute are exploring ways to create 5G applications that address manufacturing’s most pressing problems.
We’ve always kept you connected, and now, we’re enhancing how you stay informed. The first of its kind, AT&T and The Washington Post will use 5G to develop an innovation lab to explore ways to enhance news reporting capabilities, like using 4D visuals, testing new applications, and finding ways to streamline and improve operations. Reporters could soon use millimeter wave 5G+ technology to transmit their stories, photos and videos faster.
Let’s unlock the gridlock — decreasing your commute time with 5G.
In 2018 alone, Americans lost an average of 97 hours a year due to traffic congestion, costing nearly $87 billion. By integrating technologies powered by tomorrow’s 5G, solutions like smart digital transportation boards at airports will help travelers plan better, showing the fastest and lowest-cost routes into the city. This new network will keep your community’s planes, trains and automobiles — and bicycles, commuters and scooters — moving safely and smoothly.
5G will help you keep your lights on during a storm and lower energy costs year-round. Imagine your neighborhood’s energy grid and utilities being more efficient and dependable, enabling fewer outages and greater sustainability.
5G connections will enable large cities and local municipalities to plan energy infrastructure spending more efficiently and reduce downtime. Smart grid technology, for example, will enable precise, real-time monitoring which can help speed up repairs and reduces downtime following an outage or natural disaster.
As the Internet of Things continues to grow, physical and digital infrastructure will continue to converge. Improved virtualization and the expansion of software defined networks can result in lower latency and improved security — both of which contribute to building more resilient energy grids.
Next generation networks will help us sync the mechanical and digital aspects of the energy business, which will be particularly useful in the deployment of wind farms due to the sheer size of engineering required.
The capacity of 5G networks will allow for proactive and consistent maintenance needed for uninterrupted performance at wind-based utility companies — while also increasing personnel safety by cutting down the need for manual inspections.
