According to foreign media reports, Huawei's 5G chief engineer Aleksandar Aydemirski said at a recent 5G demonstration in London recently that fully networked drones will have a transformative impact on global business models.
Some industry experts said that the connected drone will promote and promote up to 254 billion US dollars of international trade by 2020.
During the day's event, Huawei demonstrated a drone test flight connected to its 5G core network. This connected drone equipped with a video camera can transmit real-time images captured by drones to users wearing VR devices on the ground. , so that these users can enjoy 360 degree views of London.
Huawei believes that 5G will completely change the way drones are used in our daily lives. Drone taxis may be implemented as early as 2021.
Self-driving car
In addition to drones, Huawei believes that self-driving cars will also become one of the most important use cases for promoting 5G. By 2025, it is estimated that there will be 60.3 million smart cars connected to 5G networks.
According to Huawei's estimates, the value of the connected car market will reach $145 billion by 2022, and it is possible to reduce the operating cost of each car from $0.66 to $0.29 per mile by 2040.
“The trucks can achieve significant cost savings in terms of intermodal vehicles. When an intermodal truck fleet is driven at a distance of 4 meters per vehicle, it can reduce fuel consumption by about 8%. However, with the ultra-low latency brought by 5G, we can The distance between each truck is reduced to 1 meter. This will increase the efficiency and increase the overall fuel economy to 30%. ' Aleksandar Aydemirski said.
