5G connectivity will soon offer the ability to connect up far more IoT devices than ever before, as a result, 5G will serve as the backbone of smart cities in 2022.   Smart Cities will take information from people, crunching data from sensors on roads, vehicles, buildings to improve the quality of life for all. Smart Cities Transportation Commuting in Cities is often one of the most stressful parts of our daily lives, causing frustration and long delays. Smart city technology is stepping up to help to fix this problem. Through using sensor and the data they gather on junctions and roads, smart cities can alert is where traffic jams are. As a result, traffic lights can then be tweaked to allow more vehicles through, and extra motorway lanes can be opened up at busy periods. Real-time alerts of congestion or accidents can be sent directly to connected vehicles, allowing them to re-route in plenty of time. 5G connectivity will help bring all these things together, helping smart cities run smoother, reducing congestion and help to lessen the environmental impact of vehicle emissions. Greater Connectivity and More Intelligence 5G can offer the ability to connect up far more devices than ever before, as a result, it will serve as the backbone for the hugely interconnected wireless infrastructure needed in a smart city. With the increased capacity we can expect to see more in-depth sensor usage that could be vital for gathering data smart city initiatives such as air quality monitoring or traffic congestion. As 5G rolls out across the world and more IoT devices get connected, the potential it offers to smart cities of the future is truly endless. Small cell networks broadcast across a certain localized area, allowing for in-depth sensor usage that could be vital for gathering data smart city initiatives such as air quality monitoring or traffic congestion.
