5G and 6G technology

Although 6G technology is still in the works and 5G deployments exist, the two technologies will be used interchangeably in this section. The main intent here is not to elaborate on the technical differences between these technologies but to understand how these two technologies would help in implementing new use cases (or enhance existing use cases). Here, it is represented as follows:

Figure 12.12 – 5G/6G technology

The reason for focusing on these two technologies compared to previous generations (2G, 3G, or 4G) is that 5G and 6G have some major improvements related to providing connectivity for IoT use cases. These improvements are summarized in the following figure:

Figure 12.13 – Advantages of 5G/6G technologies over prior generations

Benefits of combining IoT with 5G and 6G technologies

One way of understanding the benefits of combining these two technologies with IoT is to consider the connectivity...
