This small village tucked in the middle of the demilitarized zone dividing North and South Korea is getting a full taste of how life could change thanks to the potentially transformative next-generation-technology 5G network.
Tae Sung Dong, a small village of 188 people tucked in the middle of the demilitarized zone dividing North and South Korea, is getting a full taste of how life could change thanks to the potentially transformative next-generation-technology 5G network.
Now, the mayor can open and close waterway with a flick of his finger using the 5G network-based remote control system, at home. 5G -- the fifth-generation mobile network -- is expected to support"smart homes and buildings, smart cities, 3D video, work and play in the cloud, remote medical services, virtual and augmented reality, and massive machine-to-machine communications for industry automation," which 3G and 4G networks have trouble supporting, according to the International Telecommunication Union, which is involved in developing the standards for 5G.
“With this smartphone app, I can water the crops even when I am out of town,” farmer Kim Yong Sung said. When a household pushes the emergency button, a message is sent to the mayor, who then drives to the relevant house to take care of the situation. Also the"current status" screen in the town hall immediately will show a change from a green smiley face to a red angry face. The 5G network connects all 46 households across the village in an attempt to look out for their safety and convenience.
