Not for surgery per se (which is too high of a risk), but in my country people did manage to find a similar, reasonable use case. They equipped ambulances with high-res cameras and cellular network for senior medical technicians in hospitals to give advices to medical technicians on the ambulance in real-time, which seems like a nice addition.
- agumonkey 3y agoVery nice ps: reminds me that emergency team came with a broken 2G portable EKG that couldn't transmit data to the cardiologist when my mother had a spasm.. driver told me that the device was around 10000 euros, it was quite shocking.
- andrepd 3y ago4G can comfortably stream 1080p video with low latency. What does 5G being to this scenario?
- kotatsuyaki 3y agoNothing really special for 5G. The governmental bodies (and the tech firms involved) use the term "5G" just to gain visibility. I did see some of those ambulances running multiple streams from different perspectives, though. Is the bandwidth of 4G networks capable of doing that?
- richij 3y agoWider bands, lower latency, less congestion, the promise of switching off legacy in the future (with SA)
- nerfbatplz 3y agoNetwork slicing allows critical bandwidth usage to be prioritized absolutely. Can’t do that with LTE. Not to mention the sheer density of connections that can be serviced by a 5G radio over an LTE radio.
