-: Business, to compete,
you have to be willing to go beyond what's expected,
to what's exceptional.
You have to think a little differently
from the rest of your industry,
to move quickly on new opportunities
that defy convention,
to deliver real value in real time.
We are in a world of accelerating change
and rising expectations.
Luckily, this is also the world of 5G
and it's linking virtually everyone and everything
with astonishing speed and reliability.
Just as the power of the personal computer
fueled the early leaps of the tech revolution
and the internet made those services available everywhere,
5G wireless networking is changing the world as we know it.
But don't just take my word for it,
let's see it in action.
This may look like a typical commercial construction site,
but 5G is hard at work here,
bringing important assisted, augmented,
and virtual reality applications to life.
AR and VR helps businesses deliver impactful experiences
for both customers and employees.
In a place like this,
deskless workers are essential to success.
It's a challenging task to install
and maintain a building's complex mechanical system.
More often than not,
field service realities don't always look exactly like
what's in the instruction manual.
That's where 5G-enabled AR comes into play.
It gives field technicians real-time,
hands-free, interactive diagrams right before their eyes.
Now these AR displays can include detailed drawings,
checklists, even photos and quick videos,
demonstrating the correct way to get the job done right.
With AR, technicians can see exactly what they need to do.
If there's something particularly tricky
or challenging about this specific task,
the onsite tech can get real-time assistance
from a remote expert.
5G delivers the speed needed
to make this AR application practical and efficient.
But the role of 5G in this construction site
is not limited to work on mechanical equipment.
Come on, I'll show you.

While the clients have seen the plans for their space,
you can build even more trust
by showing them the finished product
before it's finished.
5G-enabled virtual reality,
can do just that.
Architects and designers can create VR rendering
that depict exactly what this interior space will look like.
Even better, this VR scene can be viewed virtually anywhere,
so the clients are always in the loop.
Immersive experiences like this
help ensure everyone is on the same page
while reducing delays and miscommunications.
Now you might be wondering,
couldn't they get the job done with a 4G network?
Well simply put, the answer is no.
AR and VR need more speed
than existing networks can provide.
They're working with massive amounts of data
that would simply take too long to upload and download.
In addition, existing networks
don't have a low enough latency
to seamlessly support VR applications.
If latencies aren't low enough,
VR apps will appear laggy and delayed.
And if the whole point is to provide an immersive,
real-time experience,
a 4G network just won't cut it.
But a 5G network can deliver all the speed,
capacity and coverage you need
to efficiently manage applications like these.
But how? Let's visit the lab and unpack that a bit.

Wireless communication systems use radio frequencies
to carry information through the air.
5G uses radio waves too,
but with many more bands
to deliver a wide range of signals and capabilities
to meet a wide variety of business needs.
Low-band 5G stretches far and wide,
covering hundreds of square miles,
and we call this the "Coverage Layer".
A low-band radio transmitter sits at top of towers
and its powerful signal helps provide innovations
in many environments.
Particularly, in far-ranging environments outside of town,
like advanced fleet tracking
or remote sensing for agriculture.
Mid-band 5G offers both coverage and capacity,
providing a nice balance for Metro areas and suburbs.
This enables enhanced, fixed, and mobile broadband,
enriched AR and VR communications like we saw earlier.
High-band 5G operates at higher radio frequencies
that are less cluttered.
These bands add more connectivity space for everyone,
so our devices get higher data speeds,
up to 10 times more.
They are sometimes called "Millimeter Waves"
and they provide tremendous capacity over a small area.
The signal can travel only short distances,
so these radios must be placed every few blocks
for the best coverage.
The small radios can sit comfortably
on ground-level utility poles and indoor settings.
That's perfect for high-density urban areas
and locations like stadiums,
concert venues and factories
that need greatly enhanced capacity.
Well, as you can see,
there's a 5G signal for every business need.
Businesses looking to innovate
with emerging technologies, like AR and VR,
can get started now on a 5G network,
whether on the factory floor using high-band
or out in the field using low-band.
This is just the beginning.
5G is on the forefront of massive innovation
across every industry.
Modern construction is just one
of the endless possibilities.
Change happens when we imagine a better future
for ourselves and the people we work alongside.
With 5G, we no longer have to just imagine
what the future will look like
because it's happening right before our eyes.
We have the power to reach our business goals
and dreams today.
