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 6G?

6G is the sixth generation of wide-area wireless technology to be standardized after 5G. There are lots of expectations around 6G but it does not exist yet. The work to define will begin in 2021. This standard will likely be completed around 2028.
