5G and GIS: Twin forces propelling new evolutions
5G cellular networks are being rolled out in countries across the world. For 5G rollouts to be truly successful, the networks need to be well planned and accurate. This involves the exhaustive inventory data and precise location data; therefore, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) play an important role in the existence and performance of 5G cellular network for effective and real-time operation. It is therefore imperative that the two technologies that feed off each other are rolled out together. The twin technologies can offer governments and enterprises unprecedented new use cases in control and management of far-flung assets.
