The 5G network is expected to include artificial intelligence (AI) and optimal response times. The benefits of 5G at home are not only based on speed
Confinement increased the value of the home to unimaginable limits, making the family space the center of all social and work activities. The 5G network is expected to include artificial intelligence (AI) and optimal response times.The transition from traditional to smart homes is taking leaps and bounds. Revenues in Europe are expected to exceed US $ 26 billion by the end of 2021, plus a fifth of homes in Denmark and the Netherlands are fully smart, according to Statista data. In Spain, home automation is present in 60% of newly built homes and the market is expected to grow 300% by the end of 2024, according to what was mentioned by the Berg agency.
Among the best-selling devices is the virtual assistant Alexa, with more than 100 million units sold, according to information provided by Amazon; and smart locks whose sales exceeded 16 million units during 2020, according to Strategy Analytics.
5G AS A DRIVER OF DEMAND FOR SMART DEVICES
As has been witnessed in the history of mankind, there is always a new technology that drives scientific innovation, in this case it is 5G. Lately, new gadgets are being created to work on the new internet network, having as a characteristic the shared connection between computers due to the connection speed, which in some studies has proven to be 400 times faster than 4G and 10 times faster than the LTE. This increased speed and low latency offered by 5G will allow AI, augmented reality and virtual reality to be seamlessly connected .The unified and wireless standard that comes hand in hand with the new network will eliminate the problem that causes the lack of interoperability, since having all the smart devices in our home (TV, speakers, light bulbs, locks, among others) working in a same protocol, an intelligent, optimal and fast ecosystem will be created.
The benefits of 5G at home are not only based on the speed of the internet and interconnection, they also have a stronger security encryption compared to its predecessors: 256 bits versus 128 bits of 4G.
It is expected that with the adaptation of 5G, most files will be saved in the cloud, making programs that usually take their time before starting lighter.
