There’s always something cool and exciting to learn about in the world of tech, and now there’s a new, fun way to digest all the latest content. ABN Now is an original news video platform that reports on the top stories in the innovation, discovery, design, manufacturing, and distribution spaces.
The latest episode’s design segment focused on 5G, the fifth generation of wireless technology. It’s built to bring the benefits of high-speed connectivity to enable new applications as well as improve existing ones. But it’s not just a feat we can handle with terrestrial tech alone, we need help from satellites.
According to a video by the European Space Agency (ESA), satellites will enable 5G networks to fundamentally transform the business models of companies, whether they’re small startups or large corporations. This will make it possible to be connected and share data at all times, regardless of the digital platform used, and will allow industry logistics activities to manage themselves.
Among additional campaigns to prepare for 5G, the ESA is working with industrial and institutional partners to integrate terrestrial and satellite networks.
Head over to ABN Now’s design pillar segment to get the full scoop on 5G’s keen relationship with space technology.
