Airtel and Nokia waded through 2,3,4G technologies together and now they are gearing up to bring 5G to India.

5G is expected to make dramatic improvements to:

• Peak Data speeds
• Improvements to Network Latency
• Agility
• Enable new network capability such as network slicing

Connected cars and driver-less cars

The future looks bright with all kinds of possibilities:

• Hydrogen powered cars sharing roads with all electric and hybrids
• Connected cars sharing a cloud of some sort
• Driver-less, connected cars driving in and out of smart cities.
• Artificial intelligence in-lieu of our own

It remains for us to become smarter!

Connected cars; connected homes; connected devices has become the prime mantra of IoT which is going to make a world of difference in our lives.

I suppose connected cars will come first followed by driver-less cars, but for this auto nation of ours this is going to be big business and all vendors/carrier companies will be fighting for their share.

AT&T being a carrier is of course interested like all others in getting into action and they were the first movers to set up The Drive Studio to evaluate all aspects of the connected car experience. Here is a AT&T video.

But AT&T being a carrier is poised to participate in a big way in the IoT.
