Considering Smart City transformations with 5G

It was a privilege to be retained by LG Canada to participate in the announcement of their new LG V60 ThinQ 5G mobile phone. My role was to discuss the significant benefits of 5G as applied to Smart City transformations.

In summary, the arrival of 5G creates amazing new opportunities for Smart City transformation. Broadband speeds are up to 200 times faster than today’s 4G and typical latency delays can be reduced by a factor of 2,000. As a result, autonomous traffic and vehicle signaling become practical with 5G, as do remote surgeries and hundreds of other new opportunities. I’ll be going into more details on this in subsequent posts, here and on my LinkedIn page.

The V60 ThinQ 5G phone has impressive digital and analog audio capabilities along with a unique headphone jack. Its dual screens come in a case and work as one large screen or two separate screens. Video displays include LG’s impressive OLED technology. The phone will output or record 8K footage and the cameras take 8K videos now, even though public networks are still at 4K. Many other interesting features are described by LG in stores, on the web, and in their marketing materials.

After initially posting this on my LinkedIn page, friends and colleagues posted kind and creative feedback on my comments about the importance of 5G for the evolution of new Smart Future City applications. As we move through this decade, 6G will evolve. Hence the importance of future-proofing new 5G applications! For the past 25 years we have been helping our clients to future proof their Smart City designs while they prepared for the future.
