How does 5G benefit telemedicine?

<span data-sheets-root="1" data-sheets-value="{"1":2,"2":"5G is a sought-after technology in telemedicine because it has two properties that support remote surgery. The first is low latency, which shortens the communication time between a surgeon in one part of the world, and a patient in another. The second capability is network slicing, which allows network operators to customize networks for a single purpose or user, reducing the potential for interference and lag.

What is 5G?

5G is the set of technologies and standards that defines the next (fifth) generation of mobile and wireless communication. 1st Generation systems brought us mobile voice telephony, 2nd Generation systems brought us text messaging and some privacy in communication, 3rd Generation systems (3G) brought us Internet access,and 4th Generation (4G) systems brought us high-speed reliable data transfer and hence the rise of “smartphones.” Check out this article to learn more about the ways 5G will change the workplace.
