5G's potential needs to be underpinned by security systems
SINGAPORE will roll out commercial 5G services this year as the country seeks to strengthen the backbone of its digital economy.
With the city state setting aside around S$40 million for 5G trials, it is safe to say that the hype for 5G is not without merit. The nation has identified 5G as a key connectivity infrastructure that propels several concepts from vision to reality, such as autonomous fleets, smart factories and even cloud gaming. Take for instance how Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and M1 are collaborating to launch the NTU Connected Smart Mobility Testbed to experiment with new intelligent traffic infrastructure.
In a nutshell: It is safe to say that 5G offsets the biggest challenge of any business landscape - fast-changing demands from businesses and consumers alike.
