The advent of 5G networks, which enable data to flow faster, will soon transform many industries and many aspects of everyday life. The accompanying infographic from CommScope, a firm that designs, builds and manages wired and wireless networks, shows five major ways that 5G is superior to the 4G networks of today.

Market research firm CB Insights notes that there are many ways in which 5G could improve health care around the world, while increasing efficiencies and revenue for the health care industry. Using 5G technology in health care is estimated to represent a $76B revenue opportunity in 2026, according to CB Insights.

The health care system needs faster, more efficient networks to keep up with the huge amounts of data it deals with, from detailed patient information to clinical research to high-resolution MRI &CT images.

By 2020, the health care industry will produce an estimated 2,314 exabytes of data, CB Insights estimates—that’s 2.314 quadrillion gigabytes. 5G’s low latency could allow these massive amounts of data to be transmitted without impacting speeds experienced by others on the network.

5G could also enable remote monitoring devices, like wearable tech, to have much longer battery lives while they send patient health data to doctors in real time. Remote robotic surgery could improve, as well. Because these procedures require high-definition image streaming, low latency and high throughput communication are essential. 5G networks could facilitate remote surgery procedures as they enable lag-free and ultra-fast connections.
