Why supply chains need to make the most of 5G to be resilient and future-proof
The trail of devastation unleashed by the outbreak of Covid-19 has broken the back of many well-established supply chains , thus reiterating the need for organizations across the globe to deepen visibility across various touch points. And this brings into play the much-talked-about 5G technology – a technology that promises a lot to drive supply chain innovation. The technological capabilities of 5G technology bring so much to the table in propelling supply chain innovation. 5G for supply chains ensures ultra-low latency, exponentially faster data speeds, more reliability, massive network capacity, increased availability, more uniform user experience, etc. 5G can facilitate supply chain innovation by offering speeds up to 100 gigabits per second and is said to be as much as 100 times faster than 4G. This technology can be deployed at a lower cost than in the past driving higher productivity through more advanced technology implementation and greater connectivity, speed, and reliabil...
