(Tiper Stock Exchange) – Friuli Venezia Giulia is a pioneer in the world ofInternet of Things and hyperconnections. He is convinced of it Alexander the GreatGlobal Expertise, Healthcare and Public Sector Sales Director of Vodafone Business.
“Some of the first realizations concerning the IoTor the possibility of connecting objects – he explained – we have done them some years ago right within this Region, with some big companies who have decided to experiment together with us this technology, which makes it possible to connect objects, but above all to allow a reverberation in the context of business processes”.
“By linking objects it is possible, for example, make processes more efficient for the management of machinery, but also for connect sensors to collect information. Let’s think about the monitoring of the traffic or let’s think about sensors for monitoring environmental and therefore, how to say, to simplify and also improve the quality of life of citizens and the quality of company processes”.
“The major investments and the evolution regarding the IoT they definitely go through 5Gwhich represents the network of
new generation in which we continue to invest, also because 5G has a great feature, which is that it is one
more capacitive networki.e. will allow scheme to connect up to 1 million objects per square kilometre“.
“Thinking of the development of the Internet of things, 5G is often referred to only with reference to thespeed increasewhich is certainly one of the characteristics of this new technology, there is less talk instead of ability to connect multiple objects and this is a very significant aspect. The third feature is the low latency: there are some industrial applications ranging from the medical sector to the automotive sector that can really take advantage of the low latency to enable use cases that could not be created before”.
At the infrastructural level there is a synergy between optical fiber and 5G. “It was also discussed today during the conference. . says the manager of Vodafone Business – We must always think about how a mobile radio network: in addition to the most visible part, the antennaswhat we call base stations that can be seen along the territory and which then have the equipment that allows the radio service to be provided, there is a backbone, which is the backbone on which these antennas are then connected. So the development of 5G goes hand in hand with the development of fiber optic networks and, as has also been said today, these two technologies are certainly synergistic“.
“A nice example we talked about today is the Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) technology, that allows, combining fiber and 5G to make services very similar to ultra-broadband available even in municipalities which, for example, could not enjoy these services until a few years ago. With this technology today in Friuli Venezia Giulia we already reach 48 municipalities: there were just over 20 in October, so we have an important plan to continue investing and make broadband increasingly accessible”.
