Another practical use of the 5G
network in real conditions was tested by the Danish Institute of Technology in
cooperation with the TDC operator using Ericsson technologies at the smaller
Hans Christian Andersen Airport near the Danish city of Odense.
The
four-legged Spot robot from Boston Dynamics independently monitored the
perimeter fencing of the airport complex and checked its damage. It was
connected to the public 5G of the largest Danish operator TDC, through which it
could send large amounts of data in real time. Machine learning methods
were also used in the test operation.

By
connecting Spot, resembling a robotic dog, to the 5G network, the technicians
opened a literally new "paddock". Until then, it was connected
via Wi-Fi, which greatly limited the range of connections. The operator
driving Spota had to be within 30 meters of him. In addition to high speed
and bandwidth, the 5G will provide the low latency (fast response) needed for
fast remote control responses.
The
Spot robot can walk through uneven terrain, climb stairs and get into small
spaces. Together with 360 ° sensors, front and rear cameras and space for
transporting packages and consumables, it can work in the field as part of
emergency, rescue or industrial inspection missions.
5G networks
5G stands for Fifth Generation
Wireless Networks. They have shorter response, higher baud rates, capacity
and variability. They are designed to handle the broadband connections of
millions of people and machines in metropolitan areas, energy-efficient sensors
that last for years with a single battery, and anything in between.
In the world, the mass launch
of 5G networks began in 2019, the launch of 5G in the Czech
Republic was delayed. The most important
developers of 5G technologies and manufacturers of network components are Huawei , Nokia , Ericsson and Samsung .
