Improved City-Wide Network Proposals

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Pennsylvania Partnership is Fighting for a 5G Network

— June 21, 2018 — Tech
The demand for a more connected Internet system is growing, and the Pennsylvania Partnership for 5G is being developed in an effort to keep up with these needs.

This group is urging the city's capital, Harrisburg, to adopt a more effective alternative to the existing 4G network in order to offer a more reliable connection. According to the group, a 5G network functions 40 times quicker than the current 4G network. This improved efficiency will be more compatible with the growing technologies, like driverless cars or robotic deliveries.

In a statement, Ashley Henry Shook, a spokesperson for the PA Partnership for 5G, said that “Consumers and businesses are already driving the demand for 5G, especially in dense, urban settings where 4G LTE no longer reliably meets the existing connectivity and data capacity needs.”
Trend Themes
1. Increased Connectivity - The demand for a more connected Internet system is driving the need for improved city-wide networks.
2. 5G Network Adoption - The Pennsylvania Partnership for 5G is advocating for the adoption of a faster and more reliable 5G network.
3. Compatibility with Emerging Technologies - The implementation of a 5G network will enable the compatibility of emerging technologies like driverless cars and robotic deliveries.
Industry Implications
1. Telecommunications - Telecommunications companies can seize the opportunity to invest in and provide the necessary infrastructure for 5G network implementation.
2. Technology - The technology industry can develop innovative solutions and applications that leverage the capabilities of a 5G network.
3. Transportation and Logistics - The transportation and logistics industry can explore the use of driverless cars and robotic deliveries facilitated by a more efficient 5G network.
