Five ways 5G makes things easier

By the end of 2021, nearly 50 Canadian communities will have access to 5G cellular network technology. People will notice its impact on almost every aspect of their lives. Twenty-six cities and towns across Canada, including Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver already have this network in place.

1. The network will provide blazing download speeds reaching up to 1.7 Gbps on all devices. No more slow connectivity issues mean quicker downloading of videos. Greater bandwidth means not worrying about exceeding data limits.

2. The network will incorporate different kinds of technology, including wearable technology and appliances. Imagine using smartwatches or smartphones to check the fridge to see if you are low on groceries.

3. Have a more global and immersive gaming experience. As many as 1,000 gamers can play Fortnite, for example, due to 5G technology. Gamers will also be transported into a mixed-reality platform, like in the Nintendo game Mario Kart Live.

4. Through the use of Artificial Intelligence, you can trace where your food comes from farm to table. Through use of remote sensors, Canadian farmers and ranchers track and monitor their field conditions to better evaluate when crops need watering or are ready for harvest.

5.Have healthcare at your fingertips. 5G technology makes doctors and other healthcare professionals more accessible with virtual services. Using wearable tech will also help healthcare professionals better and more accurately treat and monitor patients in real-time.
