Our Future With Wearable Smart Devices And 5G TechnologyOne of the future aspects of technology is to provide much better and much faster options to browse and use the internet than what we have today. With that aim in mind, 5G technology has been launched, to ultimately take over 4G technology. Now, of course, 5G would also be available for laptops, mobiles and tablets or any other devices that can connect to the internet. So this includes the wearable smart devices like smartwatches and fitness tracking devices as well. The use of wearable smart devices has also increased by leaps and bounds today, as more people are taking to technology with the hope of making their lives hassle-free than ever. Thus that day is not far away when 5G technology will be part of smartwatches and <a href=“https://www.tmcnet.com/usubmit/-europe-region-lead-global-smart-sports-fitness-market-/2019/06/25/8978393.htm”>fitness trackers</a> too. In fact, there are several ways in which wearable smart devices can actually benefit from using 5G technology. • 5G technology has a low latency communication. This means that if the wearable devices use it, the wearer should be able to exercise real-time control over other devices. • The main need in these devices is how quickly they can connect to other devices. 5G networks would enable these devices to connect in less than 1 millisecond. • And in case of data exchange, 5G will be able to do it a lot faster than the current network, meaning they could be used for real-time data link for control. • 5G technology is also set to provide very high reliability. This is because they use smaller microcells and thus make it possible for a number of devices to remain connected. <b>How will smart devices make use of 5G technology?</b> The wearable smart devices are expected be evolved to a new class which will always stay connected on the network and instantaneously exchange data using a cloud platform. Since the devices would be smaller and lighter, they will require the <a href=“https://blog.westerndigital.com/card-versus-cloud/”>cloud for expandable storage</a>. The cloud will allow storage of files on remote servers for the time being. However, there are some organizations that are trying to access servers online, which can potentially replace the use of cloud storage in near future. And since the link between these devices will be continuous with the network and with higher bandwidth, there will be no involvement of any high-capacity processors. Moreover, a large amount of storage space and applications will also not be needed. Fitness trackers with 5G are expected to come with built-in advanced sensors that will contribute to the overall process of faster communication. Suppose the sensor is able to detect that the vital signs of your body are not right and you may be ill, it should be able to collect relevant data and send it automatically to your family doctor who is available in your contacts. In the same way, your doctor will also be able to provide you with real-time temporary medical assistance to relieve you from the illness. If this can be achieved, we shall be approaching towards a brand-new era of a technological breakthrough. <b>What to expect from 5G in the future?</b> Now, we have already seen earlier how 5G technology can be of significant advantage in our daily lives. But what can we really expect out of this brand new groundbreaking technology? Can there be any possible adverse effects? Well, a higher bandwidth of lightning-fast network means a considerable increase in <a href=“https://science.nasa.gov/ems/02_anatomy”>electromagnetic waves</a> and radiation, which might impact our health in the long run. Moreover, to include smart devices in every little aspect of our daily life would require fundamental changes in designs of the devices. Everything has to be developed as a wireless product and this would require strong signal receptors and transmitters. <b>Conclusion</b> Currently, the one and single smart device that is ruling our lives is the smartphone. (Fitness trackers are there too, but compared to smartphones, the numbers are way less.) And we connect them to our wearable smart devices using Bluetooth or by Wi-Fi. Though this is effective as of now, it is far behind the miracle that we can really enjoy, once we are finally able to connect to a 5G network. Maybe we can also look forward to 5G compatible luxury watches like the <a href=“https://www.watchshopping.com/watch-guide/omega-speedmaster-top-collections”>Omega Speedmaster moonwatch</a>!
