In recent years, the notion that the connection between humans, objects and digital services will be taken to unimaginable and unlimited levels of interactivity has had the Internet as both the main driving force and the main barrier. Now, with the arrival of 5G, the market will see new possibilities that should eliminate the second part of this dichotomy.

According to David de Paulo Pereira, distinguished analyst at TGT ISG and author of the new ISG Provider Lens Internet of Things – Services and Solutions 2023 study, the new generation of mobile networks is driving the development and adoption of IoT solutions. As a result, data from IoT Analytics predicts that by 2027, 29 billion devices will be connected to the Internet of Things.

This is because the low latency offered by 5G has opened the door to a series of new use cases that were previously limited by 4G networks. Thus, over the last year, sectors that demand high availability and ivory coast whatsapp data reliability, such as telemedicine, autonomous vehicles and industrial automation, have become more viable thanks to 5G's ability to support greater flows of instantaneous data transmission.

David also points to other sectors, such as agribusiness, which remain target markets for IoT service providers, as the technology can help with precision irrigation by allowing farmers to monitor crop conditions remotely and better manage natural resources.

IoT benefits from Artificial Intelligence and other technologies
The study suggests that combining AI and IoT can reduce complexity and demand for processing power. With the help of AI, IoT devices can make decisions in real time with minimal human intervention, enabling companies to increase operational efficiency, manage risk and base business decisions on more accurate information.

Another supporting technology highlighted by the report is edge computing. This computing model drives the growth of the IoT sector by offering an architecture that provides advantages such as reduced costs, lower energy consumption and high efficiency. With the expansion of use cases and greater adoption of AI and IoT in various market segments, edge computing further intensifies these applications and drives the IoT sector as a whole.

The combination of IoT, 5G, Artificial Intelligence and edge computing results in a powerful technological apparatus, capable of contributing to business success in challenges such as ESG initiatives. In this sense, Pereira highlights that IoT is an essential facilitator for achieving these initiatives, as it allows for the practical monitoring of different defined parameters, contributing to the reduction of energy waste and carbon emissions.
