5G is the fifth set (or generation) of standards for mobile network technology defined by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). The first specifications that define the global minimum standard for 5G were made available in 3GPP's Release 15. Since then, several enhancements and new features have been added to the standard through subsequent releases, Release 16 and Release 17. Currently, Release 18 is in the proposal phase, with completion scheduled for 2024.
The technologies, architectures, and performance indicators (KPIs) defined for 5G have as their main objective meeting a wide diversity of use cases from various sectors of the Industry, or verticals, and also consumers of telecommunications services:
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a concept that concerns the connection of any type of device (thing) to the internet and/or other devices. This connection allows, among other things, the connected devices to be monitored and/or controlled remotely effectively.
Because it is a concept, there is not a single technological IoT solution but many possibilities and various technologies and implementations that meet specific needs.
Among the reference models that best describe the architecture of an IoT system is the Five-Layer Architecture:
In summary, IoT enables seamless access to unprecedented amounts of data, which is collected, transmitted, stored, processed, and used for increasingly accurate and effective monitoring and decision-making. The adoption of IoT has become essential for Industry 4.0, Agribusiness, Smart Cities, among other sectors, since the potential impact on business results is enormous, driving new investments in research and development of these technologies and creating a virtuous cycle of innovation and sustainable growth.
Cloud Computing is the sale of computer resources as a service, and despite it being a simple concept, this technology has completely revolutionized the development and use of computing. This model does not require companies' physical servers, which provides the service's contracting party with many advantages. Among them, it is possible to mention very high scalability, remote access to applications, lower initial acquisition costs, which allow smaller companies to access the very best in computing, more reliability, and ease of maintenance.
Cloud services can be hired with different resource availabilities, several types of requirements, and by varied users.
The Cloud service is available in different models, which may vary as needed by the contracting party; what changes is basically what the user manages.
Architecture
In summary, Cloud Computing is essential in digital transformation, and the tendency is that more and more sectors will use this technology capable of providing and democratizing what is most advanced in computing with the flexibility to adapt to the project as needed.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) consists of sophisticated technological solutions, more precisely algorithms that mimic the human mind with regard to problem-solving and decision-making, i.e., carrying out activities in a way that is considered intelligent. This technology is one of the most disruptive today and can potentially transform the processes of organizations profoundly.
AI can also learn autonomously by analyzing large volumes of data and identifying patterns that expand its 'knowledge.'
Currently, there are different types of solutions that meet different needs.
In short, AI leverages virtually any activity, whether in the field of research or decision-making. For example, it automates logistics processes, assists healthcare professionals in complex diagnoses, performs pest identification through remote sensing or harvest estimates on farms, and the identification of parts with manufacturing defects in the industry, and has many other applications.
