5G IoT: the “Highway” for AI Applications
Industrial autonomous vehicles, smart in-home appliances, and robotics are areas where AI is being broadly deployed today, while newer applications like key-fob security and facial-recognition technology threaten to become ubiquitous. These applications share one thing in common – they generate huge amounts of data with incumbent requirements for latency, coverage, and more. 5G networks will be one cornerstone in the proliferation of AI, and this webinar will illustrate how 5G supports AI, provide examples of the latest applications, and give an update on the state of “5G Readiness” at major telcos.
