"Smart agriculture" utilizing ICT and IIoT is recently coming into full swing, and expectations are also growing as a potential "savior" to solve challenges facing agriculture.
With the spread of 5G, DX is accelerating and networks have extended to every corner of factories and other worksites. As a result, it is becoming a challenge to handle all data processing only in the cloud, and "edge computing" is attracting attention.
As the Internet of Things connects all devices and Digital Transformation accelerates, the risk of cyberattacks, information leaks, and other issues is increasing. In particular, it is feared that serious damage may occur in the operational technology systems that operate and control factory and other equipment.
It has also been pointed out that the coronavirus pandemic may present opportunities. That is to say, it may encourage a shift to production systems that are less dependent on the labor force, and the demand for smart factories that utilize IIoT networks and artificial intelligence (AI) will increase more than ever.
5G provides notable advantages for Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) networks that require advanced information processing using numerous and diverse devices such as sensors and robots, and thus rapid evolution is expected with the spread of 5G.
5G: Technology
5G – Massive IoT will likely account for over half of 5G cellular IoT connections. This is due to the common requirement for long battery life, deep coverage and low total cost of ownership (TCO) across larger application areas like asset management, energy & utilities and smart cities.
