IoT Essentials 5 Key Insights into 5G and Wi-Fi6

• Large scale IoT deployments have been driving
  many breakthroughs in connectivity technologies.
• In this highly innovative landscape, the 5th
  generation wireless or 5G and Wi-Fi 6 are set to
  dominate the IoT connectivity arena during 2020
  and beyond.
• Both 5G and Wi-Fi 6 (802.11 ax) specs mark a
  giant leap forward when compared to their
  predecessors 4G/LTE and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11 ac) in
  that order.
• 5G is the latest standard from 3GPP, which is yet
  to hit the market at a mass scale.
• The same is true for Wi-Fi 6 from the Wi-Fi
  Alliance.

• Although developed by different standards
  organizations, 5G and Wi-Fi 6 were both designed
  to serve the digitally connected world, and as
  such, they offer complementary capabilities.
• Thus, for your IoT use case, when you select one
  over the other, its not a matter of superiority
  but suitability.

Thatd be more evident when you consider the
following five key insights

• Send more data from more devices in less time
• Newer design for IoT devices
• 5G would be the designated choice for low latency
  applications
• 5G and Wi-Fi can co-exist in IoT applications
• Both technologies are mindful about IoT security
  needs

Send more data from more devices in less time

• Most smart home and smart city applications such
  a real-time video streaming, and AR/VR demand
  super-fast data rates. 5G cellular and Wi-Fi 6
  with theoretical peak rates of 10 gigabits per
  second will allow ultra-high high-definition
  video downloads within seconds.
• Thats a great news for high-speed applications,
  but whats better is you can rely on these
  performance numbers even when there are many more
  connected devices per unit area. Compared with 4G
  LTE, 5G has 1000 times more bandwidth per unit
  area, can support 10,000 times more traffic and
  100 times more connected devices per unit area.
  Thus 5G cellular could be a reliable option for
  congested city roads while Wi-Fi 6 could be
  highly suitable for large stadiums, connected
  buildings, convention centers, etc.

Newer design for IoT devices

• Minimizing power consumption is both a primary
  imperative and challenge in IoT device design.
• 5G and Wi-Fi 6 are designed to help on that front
  as well, as they can support IoT devices designed
  to send more information using much less power.
• These technologies will lead to a new marketplace
  of always-on, always-connected devices that use
  less energy and offer longer battery life.

5G would be the designated choice for low latency
applications

• 5G can enable sophisticated remote surgery use
  cases where the surgeon and the site of surgery
  could be thousands of miles apart.
• Such use cases rely on ultra-low latency.
• 5G is designed to offer latency in the order 1
  millisecond.
• This can support many real-time, mission-critical
  applications in healthcare, smart manufacturing,
  remote robotics, etc.

5G and Wi-Fi can co-exist in IoT applications

• Improvements in speed, latency, and the ability
  to reliably connect higher density of devices
  make Wi-Fi 6 the access choice for indoor
  networks for large office campuses, factory
  floors,entertainment, and shopping venues, etc.
  especially where one access point need to serve
  more users and devices.
• 5G cellular is ideal for outdoor connectivity
  involving large arenas (e.g., an oil and gas
  field) and in highly mobile use cases such as
  bullet trains driving at 200 miles per hour or
  connected cars driving on the highway.

Both technologies are mindful about IoT security
needs

• By its very nature, wireless connectivity is more
  prone to interceptions and man-in-the-middle
  attacks. Both 5G and Wi-Fi 6 incorporate
  additional security controls. 5G security
  includes mutual authentication, local secure
  elements, Transport Layer Security encryption,
  and over-the-air firmware updates for 5G
  electronics. 5G network slices can offer security
  benefits similar to LAN/WAN segmentation.
• Currently, chipset/equipment manufacturers and
  network carriers are extensively testing these
  two technologies. Nivid Technologies is
  well-positioned to deliver superior IoT solutions
  worldwide using 5G and Wi-Fi 6 in collaboration
  with our OEM partners. Contact us for more
