Cross-industry solutions

Autonomous robots and aerial drones can traverse harsh and dangerous environments and reduce hazard risks for human workers. Such technology will provide enhanced monitoring and safety upkeep for facilities. They can be fitted with various sensors geared towards the purpose they are meant for and by using 5G, we can deploy them in real-time whereby the data collected can be sent directly to an AI application for investigation and immediate further action.

Wearable technology allows security and medical personnel to conduct background and health checks efficiently. Of course, they have a much broader focus and can be used in many different industries where clothing has been enriched with wearable technologies. Wearables are also able to collect extra information for a 5G-enabled digital service.

Sensors are crucial for capturing real-time data and insights and pave the way for more informed decision-making. Sensors will be the data collection point for every 5G-enabled digital service and therefore will have to cover a broad spectrum of types of information to be collected and the way they are connected to the DNB 5G network.

XR is set to take work and play to the next level with cutting edge technology never seen before. These devices have the potential to boost productivity and enhance entertainment, changing the way we experience our reality through digital transformation. There is an increasing broad spectrum of devices available for both consumer and enterprise markets, making it increasingly important for each user experience.
