5G Technology Application at Workplace

5G is the fifth generation of connectivity technologies, offering significant speed and capacity
enhancements to the fourth generation, or 4G. 5G could be 100 times better than 4G in some
cases!

The low latency duration of 5G is a main differentiator. This suggests that data travels easily
from source to destination. Online voice conferences (VoIP), video conferencing, cloud-based
sharing, and other data-intensive tasks can become dramatically easier. And the effect on
employee experience would be substantial as a result.

Another value of 5G in the office is the ability to instantly onboard almost every computer. 5G
networks can support hospital wearable, biometric-connected attendance devices, digitized
employee identity cards, and a number of other smart items in addition to smart phones and
laptops.

Inevitably, this would add a range of advantages – as well as certain problems – to the new
workplace. Let's take a closer look at them.

Workplaces and staff management will shift in four areas as a result of 5G.

Early studies of the 5G implementation have demonstrated that workplaces will benefit greatly
from this technology. This may be done in the following way:

1. Artificial intelligence (AI) would become more popular as a result of 5G.

Artificial intelligence has the power to revolutionize the workplace in any field imaginable. To
list a few advantages, this means virtual Assistant-assisted on boarding, automatic paper
preparation, and advanced feedback from employee surveys for HR.

However, the lack of strong network infrastructure has been one of the big roadblocks to AI in
the workplace. Even if there are massive data sets to store, process, and visualize in the cloud, a
high-speed network is needed.

As a result, 5G infrastructure is vital to making AI mainstream, which is good news considering


that 70% of employees in a study of 1,001 workers believe AI would have a positive impact.
2. All correspondence can be conducted in a single way.

Although teamwork is now a norm in the office, it also takes place in silos. Professionals work
on their own partnership deck, which they then move on to the next person in the value chain
after it's done.

Remember the basic example of a file exchanged by email: a file passes through several rounds
of scrutiny from different parties until it enters the final version. 5G in the workplace has the
ability to improve this by empowering workers to communicate in real time on a common
network.

Thanks to 5G, data-heavy design files, code fragments, and even videos could be seamlessly
edited on the cloud. This results in a true centralized communications-enabled workplace, where
all partnerships are handled by a single forum, from company-wide meetings and webinars to
vertical-specific activities.

3. Staff morale would be improved by "network slicing."

Network slicing is the foundational concept behind the rise of 5G. The network is “sliced” into
different tracks by cell operators, each devoted to a particular programme, facility, or unit. 5G in
the office, for example, might allow for different networks for personal devices and workstations
without the need to invest in multiple providers.

Organizations will be able to route traffic in directions where it is most necessary. According to
the company's priorities, mission-critical workshops, bandwidth-intensive collaboration sessions,
learning and growth tools, and other applications should be prioritized. And one person
uploading a big file or watching a video won't stymie productivity.

4. Remote working will be more accessible than ever before thanks to 5G.

This is perhaps the most important advantage of 5G in the workplace. The gig economy is
already booming, and 5G technology has the ability to speed things up even further.

Owing to low network coverage today, there's still the possibility of a video call being pixilated,
an email being delayed, or remote attendance tools malfunctioning. In the 5G age, these
problems would be a thing of the past. Remote workers will feel more linked to their colleagues
on the field, and the number of fully dispersed workforces will grow.

Already, 16% of workplaces around the world are entirely remote, and more firms will see the
benefits of doing so.
