The new technology could provide the rise of smart technology in Brazil and in the world, in addition to assisting in the provision of services to industries that adopt 5G
The year 2021 was symbolized by the emergence of the first signs of 5G in the world, being launched in Brazil at the beginning of this month of July. According to a survey by the International Data Corporation (IDC), by the year 2025, this technology should generate approximately BRL 130 billion. This confirms how much this new conception of mobile internet will transform the sector, increasing the standard of development of companies and also connectivity worldwide. Furthermore, this new 5G technology can be a key element for the internet to generate more productivity and add more value in the development of smart cities.
5G technology can automate the production of companies in Brazil and worldwide
5G could bring a new perspective to the smart and connected factories of the future, introducing a new trend for the workforce of these companies in Brazil and around the world. The new way of working will be robots, which will be responsible for doing all the menial and heavy tasks, while human workers will supervise the operations. Underpinned by intelligent technology, humans and machines will be able to collaborate together in factories.
This technology landscape is known as industry 5.0 or collaborative industries, which show a growing view among manufacturers of the need to respond to the growing demand among customers for a greater degree of individualization. In addition, most business owners describe this new workforce technology as an essential part of their business strategy, as imposed tasks done in a connected and collaborative way show great opportunities to improve the productivity and innovation of the company. production.
The new 5G technology launched in Brazil recently, led the search for 5G cell phones to triple
The arrival of 5G to Brazil, when launched in Brasilia at the beginning of the month, made the demand for cell phones compatible with the technology increase greatly. However, as much as the new technology attracts consumers to this new generation of internet, buying it right at the beginning of the launch may not be feasible, given the high cost of devices and technology.
According to data from Google Trends, searches for 5G increased by more than 70% in Brazil in the week of July 1st to 7th compared to the previous week. In addition, the search for the list of mobile devices compatible with 5G has increased rapidly in recent weeks.
Currently, there are a wide variety of mobile phone options on the market. The values of the ten most sought after 5G cell phones on the Buscapé platform in Brazil range between R$ 1,2 thousand (Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 5G) and R$ 7,2 thousand (Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 5G).
However, replacing 5G-incompatible smartphones with a new device that supports 5G may not always be advantageous for customers. For the PUC-RS RS professor and specialist in information technology, this factor will depend on what the user does with the mobile network.
For the average consumer, 4G is already well suited to day-to-day activities, such as entertainment, work and education. Due to the greater speed and stability and reduced latency, 5G is related to increased productivity in companies, agribusiness, healthcare and other sectors.
A survey carried out by the GfK consultancy shows that, between January and May 2022, sales of 5G-compatible mobile devices in Brazil grew by 230% compared to the same period in 2021.
