What this episode covers

Dan Picker, CTO of Inseego, discusses how 5G technology enables sustainability by improving efficiency across industries, citing an Accenture report that 5G use cases could save the carbon equivalent of 80 million cars annually. He explains that 5G’s low latency and high bandwidth allow for real-time monitoring of resources like water and energy, enabling applications such as drone-based agricultural surveying and smart traffic systems. Picker also addresses the challenges of 5G adoption, including the gradual rollout of infrastructure, the need for affordable machine-to-machine service plans, and the importance of security features like Inseego’s ST Edge for remote work.

    5G and IoT: What Will It Take for Them to Get Along?

    Thomas Keller, Director of Platforms and Core Technology at u-blox, discusses the challenges of integrating low-power IoT devices with 5G networks. He explains that while 5G was designed for high capacity and low latency, the industry currently relies on LTE-based technologies like Cat M1 and NB-IoT for IoT, with 'RedCap' (Reduced Capability) devices emerging as a transitional 5G standard. Keller highlights the tension between network operators needing to support legacy LTE infrastructure and the long-term shift to 5G Standalone, noting that true low-power 5G IoT optimization will take several specification releases to mature.
