Report: 5G will become one of the most influential technologies from 2020 to 2025

On October 26, foreign media reported that according to the "Global Smart City Market Analysis 2020-2025 Report" released by the international market research organization Research And Markets, it is expected that artificial intelligence, Internet of Things and 5G will be the most influential technologies during the period 2020-2025, with an influence of 63%, 34% and 52% respectively.

The report evaluates the smart city market, including leading vendors and strategies, infrastructure, solutions, applications and services, to forecast market value from 2020 to 2025. The report also analyzes the role of technologies such as artificial intelligence, edge processing, 5G deployment and use, and advanced data analytics in accelerating digital transformation.

Technological innovation is one of the drivers of urban development. These innovations also provide important support to those seeking new ways to manage resources and provide services. Many smart city technologies are being developed to manage specific problems in energy distribution, energy management, traffic management, and public safety. A new generation of sensor networks, big data analytics, and IoT applications are being deployed in public and privately managed physical spaces to meet these needs, although many challenges remain.

The report points out that an important focus area for smart cities is to achieve the technical infrastructure of smart utilities (smart grid, sanitation, water and gas), smarter buildings and workplaces. With the convergence of mobility, communications, energy, water, platforms, monitoring/control, performance management, predictability and prediction, systems and resources are intertwined. The cooperation between the public and enterprises will produce huge synergies, but it will take another 20 years to fully develop.

In recent years, new technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and 5G have been developing rapidly and have been widely used in the construction of smart cities. They have also spawned new digital, networked, and intelligent public service models and urban governance concepts, bringing many conveniences to people's production and work.
