1. Besides offering faster speeds, increased reliability, and greater capacity to move more data across more devices than any cellular network before it, what makes 5G so powerful is it allows businesses to reimagine and optimize how they do business. Here are just a few examples of 5G use cases—with many more cutting across industry verticals.
2. Healthcare is one of many industries where bringing information to people instead of having people go to the information can have dramatic impacts on productivity and efficiency. Today, digital health platforms from companies like Zyter can offer secure and highly-reliable telehealth, home health, and remote patient monitoring to more people in more areas using T-Mobile’s 5G network—which can free up both patients and providers to get more done in their day.
3. 5G also acts as a force multiplier when deployed within healthcare facilities such as T-Mobile’s installation at Miami Veterans Affairs (VA) Healthcare System—untethering doctors and nurses from workstations so they can spend more time treating patients and less time hunting down information. They can view data-intensive files such as imaging results, lab work, and medical charts on portable devices from anywhere in the facility—including their patient’s bedside.
What do you know about 5G so far? Good and bad
4. Ultra-capacity 5G enables terabytes of health data to move around healthcare facilities with unheard of speed and reliability, opening up a world of collaboration and machine-to-machine communication that will help save lives and dramatically increase the efficient use of caregivers’ time. And combining 5G with other technologies, like XR headsets, opens up a whole new world of possibilities for medical professionals and their patients.
5. Instead of looking at individual data points in isolation on a series of disconnected charts and images, doctors can use computer-enhanced visualizations, fed by data sources from around a hospital. This will allow doctors to achieve a holistic view of their patients to diagnose conditions and devise treatments more efficiently.
6. Like healthcare, higher education also responded to the massive disruption of the COVID pandemic by enabling students to learn remotely. As colleges and universities transitioned to virtual classrooms, the experience highlighted pervasive challenges—but also universal opportunities.
How do you think education may benefit from this technology, are there any risks?
7. Fisk University in Nashville worked with HTC VIVE, T-Mobile, and VictoryXR to create an interactive 5G-powered VR human cadaver lab for students in pre-med and biology-related majors. Unable to purchase and store human cadavers before the pandemic due to cost and facilities limitations, Fisk can now not only provide students with immersive lessons but also attract prospective students with an entirely new way of learning.
8. In the future, the ability to slice the 5G spectrum into dedicated channels aimed at specific data types, geographies, or activities will prove very beneficial to making 5G available across sprawling campuses. Use cases beyond campus walls—for instance, athletic events—could also benefit from network slicing. Different functions such as drones for stadium security and broadcasting the event, point of sale network for vendors, and coaches on the sidelines could all benefit from dedicated network resources provided by 5G networks.
9. Pre-COVID-19, providing cutting-edge digital experiences like these to students and faculty was not a priority for many institutions—but it is now. According to Aberdeen Strategy & Research, the No. 1 technology to promote student success is 5G, with 83% of respondents to a recent survey of higher ed institutions saying 5G is very or extremely important to their IT modernization plans.
