Dear MEL Topic Readers,

5G is helping make Pyeongchang the most high-tech Olympics ever

Only a day left to close the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games. There have been heated competitions on the snow and ice. Many sports fans around the world are enjoying watching those games on TV screens or smartphone displays. But there in this small rural Korean town, another spectacular show has been experienced by the visitors from the world. 2018 IT shows have been presented by high-tech leaders, Intel and Samsung, and auto giant Hyundai.

The highlight of the technology show is 5G, the 5th generation mobile networks, the next telecommunications standards that can transmit data ten times faster than the current 4G standards. The new technology, though it is still yet to come, allows a higher density of mobile broadband users, and supports device-to-device, more reliable, and massive machine communications, such as self-driving cars, virtual reality, smart cities and networked robots. It also can connect sensors, thermostats, cars, robots, and other new technology to realize the Internet of Things or IoT. When this technology is applied to ice skate racing, a coach can monitor the body movement of the racer almost real time, and then sends back instructions to the racer instantly, probably not during the race but during the practice.

Enjoy reading the article and seeing the videos to learn what is also shown in the winter Olympic venues.
