Disaster site
In the event of a disaster, recovery work and work in inaccessible areas can be done accurately and with low latency by using 5G, making the action smoother.
Checking the damage situation
In the past, helicopters were used for damage assessment. Helicopters could only do a rough damage assessment from the air, and could not do detailed analysis.
Using 5G, drones can be remotely operated to confirm damage in real time with high-resolution images and three-dimensional video, which will facilitate rescue operations and the dissemination of information.
Remote control of heavy machinery
In dangerous reconstruction work, remote control without the operator being on the heavy equipment can prevent secondary disasters.
Remote control of heavy equipment itself was possible with 4G technology, but the low resolution of the transmitted camera images and video delays greatly reduced the efficiency of the operation compared to manned operation.
Since 5G technology can handle more data, attaching multiple cameras and high-performance microphones to the heavy equipment and installing multiple monitors and speakers around the remote pilot will allow the pilot to feel a sense of realism as if he or she is actually on the heavy equipment, which is expected to improve work efficiency. Also, since the delay is reduced, the remote operator will be able to operate the machine without stress.
