The next corner of the Internet of Things is not love, but 5G

This year, CCTV Spring Festival Gala *** achieved real-time 4K ultra-high-definition video broadcasting from Jinggangshan, Changchun and Shenzhen through the 5G network, and broadcast the programs of the sub-venues to the whole country.

What kind of sparks will be created when the high-speed, low-latency, and large-connection 5G network collides with the Internet of Things?

Our visions of the future are usually satisfied through science fiction movies. This year during the Spring Festival, a work that set a new milestone for domestic science fiction movies appeared - "The Wandering Earth".

The story takes place in the year 2058, when the sun is about to be destroyed. Humans install thrusters on the surface of the earth to push the earth away from the solar system, starting a 2,500-year journey to a new home.

The future time and space shown in the film naturally include the display of orbital engines, manned spacecraft, supercomputers and other technologies. Many of these technologies have already been applied in real life. Let's take a look.

The "International Space Station for Crews" in the film gathers staff from various countries. They can communicate with others in their native language in the space station, and an important tool is the translation headset.

In 2017, Google launched a pair of wireless headphones, Pixel Buds, which support real-time translation of Google Translate; last year, Migu and iFlytek jointly released the world's first full-voice artificial intelligence headset - Mobis, and OPPO also launched the Bluetooth headset O-Free with translation function.

Quantum computers

No one would have expected that the one who defeated the popular young idol and sexy uncle and won a lot of fans in the film was actually a computer - Moss, and its classic line: It is really a luxury to hope that humans can stay rational forever.

Quantum computers are still in the development and research stage. Their computing power is even tens of thousands of times that of current supercomputers. They are responsible for the operation of space stations, calculating the trajectory of the Earth, and storing all the data of Earth's civilization. Only quantum computers have such powerful computing power.

At this year's CES, IBM demonstrated the first commercially available quantum computer product, Q System One.

Mechanical exoskeleton

A mechanical exoskeleton, also known as a powered exoskeleton, is a mechanical device made of a steel frame that can be worn by people. We have seen it in European and American blockbusters in the past, and now it is also reflected in Chinese science fiction movies.

This type of device is more inclined to military use. In addition to its basic function of enhancing human capabilities, it must also have good protection, adaptability to complex environments, and military functions such as auxiliary firepower, communications, and reconnaissance support.

If science fiction gives people a feeling of unreality, recently, Japan officially released a 5G promotional video to see what medical care, travel, entertainment and other lifestyles will look like.

Let’s take a look at the technology shown in the promotional video:

VR

When riding in a car, you can put on VR glasses and watch the game directly. Virtual reality technology uses computers to create a virtual environment to immerse users.

Autonomous driving technology

The vehicle's surrounding environment is sensed using on-board sensors, and the vehicle's speed and position are controlled based on the perceived road, vehicle position and obstacle information, allowing the vehicle to travel safely and reliably on the road.

Artificial Intelligence "Face-to-Face Diagnosis"

Without going to the hospital, the old lady can also communicate with the doctor "face to face" about her health condition. In the era of big data, the application of artificial intelligence in the medical field is becoming more and more extensive, and AI is empowering medical care.

Unmanned supermarket

It is also called a supermarket without salespersons. The person who collects money is not the salesperson, but the...

Holographic projection

Also known as virtual imaging technology, it uses the principles of interference and diffraction to record and reproduce the real three-dimensional image of an object.

Holographic projection technology can not only produce three-dimensional aerial phantoms, but also enable the phantoms to interact with performers to complete the performance together, producing a shocking performance effect.

5G is an indispensable communication technology for the development of the Internet of Things. Relatively speaking, 4G has low communication speed and poor anti-interference ability, while the advantages of 5G can make up for what 4G cannot meet, providing convenience for the development of the Internet of Things in different aspects.

The size of the mobile communication network determines the size of the IoT coverage. Are you ready for the 5G IoT era?
