Description

“The Era of 5G and the Internet of Things” is an exhibition about science, technology, and application of the 5th generation of the mobile network(5G) and the Internet of Things (IoT). The exhibit explains the scientific foundation, technology development path, and applications of 5G and IoT, and shows how the new technologies will impact society, industry, and people’s daily life.

5G technology is a powerful mobile internet technology operating across a broad spectrum of radio waves that will allow for greater bandwidths, lower latency, and ultimately faster connection speed. The technology can facilitate new data-driven technologies, such as automation, self-driving cars, and artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, the technological revolution leads to big changes in housing, healthcare, education, transportation, city management, etc. Depending on the technology, more and more applications are developed to improve and empower the systems of smart home, smart healthcare, smart education, smart transportation, smart city, etc.

The general public is the target audience of the exhibition. It not only tries to illustrate the knowledge of 5G technology but also inspires the public to use the new technology to build up a more balanced, equal, efficient, sustainable and environmental-friendly world.
