5G IoT and governance — NV 2.0 is aligned with opportunities in hyperconnected public services of the future
In an increasingly connected world, 5G private networks will drive the future of a digitized economy. We are moving towards a ubiquitous world of interconnected things, machines, devices, sensors and applications. 5G has the capacity to deliver increased speeds (600 times faster than typical 4G speeds of today) and extremely low latency that improves reliability to a new standard. Furthermore, it has the capacity to connect over a million devices in just one square kilometre.
Private communication networks show the way for a fast approaching future that transforms the way we function, interact and carry out business in the real world.
As more enterprises are opening up to the limitless potential of 5G networks, governments across the world are not far behind. They too are considering opportunities that will positively impact essential government functions and utilities.
5G driven government infrastructure — The way ahead
The adoption of 5G private networks is however not without some barriers. However, governments are becoming increasingly conscious of eliminating regulatory hurdles and introducing policies that encourage cross-sector 5G-led products and services.
As of June 2021, around 58 countries have deployed 5G networks (Source:GSA Report) While the United States and the EMEA region (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) have been the frontrunners in transitioning to 5G, Asian countries are quickly catching up. In fact, pioneering countries such as South Korea are on track to achieve 5G coverage for close to 60% of its mobile subscriptions by 2025. An optimistic global environment for the adoption of private networks is encouraging governments like India to undertake policy initiatives for the deployment of affordable and secure 5G service.
Benefits of IoT in modern governance
While deployment of 5G-IoT platforms may seem a herculean task for many governments, most are aware of the voluminous benefits of embracing the same. 5G applications can be broadly classified in three major use cases:
1. Enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)
eMBB allows networks to widen their areas of coverage and deliver packets of data at unprecedented speeds of up to 10 GBPS.
2. Ultra-reliable low-latency communications (uRLLC)
As the name suggests, uRLLC use cases will provide extremely high reliability of more than 99.999% and low latency to deliver seamless communication for time-sensitive connections.
3. Massive machine-type communication (mMTC)
mMTC’s core value lies in enabling a large number of connections by supporting as much as
1 million devices for every square kilometre.
Developing the IoT ecosystem for governments
Going a step beyond allocating the spectrum for private networks, governments will have to develop an entire ecosystem of 5G-powered IoT platforms. Here, telecom service providers will play a crucial role in helping governments commercialize 5G deployment across various sectors.
The 5G network’s ability to penetrate through dense urban areas will make it the perfect choice for city-wide adoption. Governments will look to build on these networks to enhance the lives of their citizens. With Smart City initiatives, governments can not only enable enhanced broadband services but also unlock other use cases such as traffic management, disaster alerts, content streaming services, weather forecasting, tax compliance, IoT-led healthcare and many more.
The delivery of government services will witness an overhaul too. The advent of connectivity and decentralization of data will add more comfort and convenience for citizen’s experiences. The automation of vehicles and healthcare systems will bring about transformative changes in society. The use of IoT devices as sensors will revolutionize the collection of and analysis of real-time data across various points in the city. The IoT ecosystem spread across cities will speed up the automation of factories and contribute to the onset of Industry 4.0.
With regard to public utilities, smart electricity grids, intelligent monitoring and automation of street lighting, and overall management of utilities such as smart electricity, smart water management and smart meters for gas will bring in more efficiencies and reduce operational costs for governments.
NV 2.0 — Aligning with future governance
Over 75 billion devices will be connected by 2025 (Source: Statista) and governments will provide a significant number of use cases. NV 2.0’s holistic product stack includes a robust IoT asset layer and will align with governments to unlock exciting opportunities. NV 2.0 is enabling this hyper connected world and part of its vision is transforming the notion of ideal governance into a reality for citizens and the society through its holistic solutions. Stay tuned to hear more about our plans in tandem with the roadmap, product updates and more.
