Numerous pioneers in remote correspondence estimate that by 2023 there will be expanded IoT connections, which is astounding news for IoT gadget-reliant businesses, service or product providers, or those hoping to incorporate IoT into their present setups.

A recent report by Ericsson suggested that 50 percent of US customers will have access to 5G in as meager as five years. ABI’s Research study demonstrated that 5G technology would almost certainly diminish production times of developing technologies more than 4G connections; subsequently, it is seen by numerous industry specialists as a critical component in the mass adoption of XR innovation. Fifth-generation tech will increase connection speed, website traffic, and dependability, all of which assist with the boundless integration of innovations to come stated a report by Qualcomm. Organizational adoption of 5G tech is essential for any Tech business anticipating executing or consolidating consumer services and solutions involving emerging advancements like AR and VR tech.

Quicker internet speeds, expanded traffic, and consistent tech integration are only a couple of business benefits, here are some more advantages that may cause organizations to consider putting resources into and prioritizing 5G tech. The number of IoT gadgets is rising with the presentation of 5G speeds; subsequently, IoT-centered organizations can expect significant effects on their gadgets by upgrading infrastructure diagnoses systems and information insights, fortifying an organization’s infrastructure and bringing down the vulnerability of these gadgets. With 5G connections, businesses can offer customers an increasingly consistent experience as a large number of uses and new services of emerging innovations by organizations and customers will require an adaptable network ready to furnish better user experience. With 5G tech, organizations will have the option to make different virtual networks with only one physical system in this way supporting companies in giving end-to-end virtual system incorporating not only networking but computing and storage functions as well. Through 5G tech, multi-access edge computing will help with decongesting organizations swarmed networks, while supporting several gadgets without a moment’s delay. This cloud-based network architecture can likewise expand the site’s overall performance. Other than taking care of enormous information stacks and conveying results in real-time, it likewise secures client data, through local computing versus a centralized network used presently (Hatten, n.d.). 5G offers something beyond speed. Expanded capacity and ultra-low latency make it perfect for focused, real-time services that could upset businesses. Advances in technology are changing how businesses operate and the services they offer (Price, 2019).

3G was the first cellular innovation to open up the conceivable outcomes of what data could do and after ten years later the launch of 4G much improved consumer experience, giving a lot quicker download speeds and a large number of bespoke applications. It likewise observed new sorts of services take off. In any case, moving from 4G to 5G vows to be more transformational for businesses than past innovative leaps offering something other than more prominent speed. It is a genuine game-changer, revolutionizing how businesses operate. Organizations should begin taking a gander at the technology presently to perceive how they could utilize it to gain the upper hand. Businesses that 5G will impact include; Healthcare: 5G’s low latency implies that remote tasks can be carried out by robotic surgeons. 5G permits patient data to be transferred progressively, broken down by AI for abnormalities before referral to a clinician. Manufacturing: Rolling out 5G is key to the fourth industrial revolution. Automotive: Autonomous vehicles will depend on 5G’s ultra-low latency for constant communication with other vehicles to avoid accidents, continuous 5G monitoring will identify if a driver has an ailment and assume control of the vehicle if necessary and 5G sensors can be utilized by authorities to advance traffic flow within a smart city. Retail: Retailers are progressively mixing physical and virtual experiences by utilizing an AR app, while a 5G-enabled VR headset could empower customers to stroll around a virtual showroom or test-drive a vehicle. Entertainment: The ultra-low latency of 5G implies that game designers can offload processing to the cloud, so clients do not require powerful consoles, rather they enjoy responsive first-person shooters and real-time strategy games. Thanks to 5G’s high capacity, thousands of devices can be connected for socially driven AR/VR games.

2.      Realizing New 5G possibilities with the intelligent wireless Edge

By 2025, the quantity of connected gadgets globally will surpass 74 billion (Claveria, 2019). Presently, more than 120 new gadgets are connecting to the Internet consistently whose processing of AI tasks happens in the cloud, and as the number keeps swelling, there is a need to reexamine how insight is scaled. Processing must, in this way, be pushed nearer to the gadget to aid in the expansion of these savvy gadgets. 5G gives the framework for scaling both connectivity and intelligence in this period of hyper-connectivity. As such, understanding the transformative capability of IoT requires a move away from the centralized cloud and toward another model of distributed functions with on-gadget insight.

Gadgets like smartphones, savvy speakers, and responsive sensors that monitor a patient’s wellbeing are, as of now smart, with changing models of on-gadget processing and information sharing employing the Internet and cloud-based resources. 4G LTE connects some wide-area IoT gadgets, however, 5G connectivity will give the framework for their future development. Today, on-gadget AI can handle local decisions, while connected to the cloud for extended abilities. Inherently, concentrated clouds are often a long way from gadgets meaning higher latency, particularly when the system is congested. In our current age, where everything is connected, on-gadget processing assumes a fundamental role. Nonetheless, devices have inherent impediments, such as power, thermal, and form factor. To conquer them, another, upgraded system architecture rises, bringing information processing capabilities closer to gadgets, the smart wireless edge, where on-device processing is augmented by edge cloud computing and connected by ultra-fast, low-latency 5G.

By and by, on-device AI empowers a wide scope of power-efficient use cases. In the past it was overwhelmingly cloud-driven, yet later on, the vision for AI is to turn out to be completely distributed with long-lasting on-device learning, bringing advantages such as better personalization and security insurance (Overby, 2019). While the preparation of data-intensive deep learning models basically happens in the cloud, inference; the act of responding to new situations using the predictive power of a trained AI model, should occur near the user so as to make decisions and continuously take action. Decentralizing the cloud for a more distributed framework, utilizing both edge cloud and on-gadget processing similarly conveys lower latency, so gadgets can be progressively responsive. 5G was imagined to be the uniting connectivity fabric that can connect everything and everyone, and it is intended to help and grow the IoT ecosystem. Thus, with the headways in on-gadget AI, edge cloud computing, and 5G, the wireless edge will bring new and improved experiences and a wide scope of use cases.

The intelligent wireless edge will turn in to the foundation for driving, cutting edge user experiences. The consistent mix of on-gadget AI, edge cloud computing, and 5G networking won’t just empower new gadgets and services, but also change existing ones for both individual and expert use with its more extensive bandwidth and low latency to enhance mobile experiences better than ever (Qualcomm, We Are Making On-Device AI Ubiquitous., 2017). With the savvy wireless edge, we can increase the ability of on-gadget AI with the edge cloud for advantages, ranging from greater photography to progressively instinctive augmented reality experiences, numerous more current use cases empowered, and far better 5G upgraded smartphone experiences (Carter, 2019). With AI-empowered cameras, new 5G cell phones can offer usefulness equivalent to that of best in class DSLR cameras. AI improved features with the blend of on-gadget intelligence, cloud computing, and 5G connectivity can transform voice technology to make a genuine individual partner that can be progressively responsive, proactive, and setting mindful. The present cloud-driven virtual assistants offer limited privacy and few options for personalization.

Expanded IIoT Use Cases Currently, with only 49 percent of the industrial organizations studied state that AI is important for manufacturing accomplishments over the coming five years. Intrigue will ascend with the savvy wireless edge, which keeps sensitive data inside a devoted private network and address a more extensive scope of industrial use cases, opening doors to new chances to empower the savvy factory of the future. It will not only connect existing IIoT devices more efficiently, but also expand to new devices and services.

By 2021, every single new vehicle sold for individual use will have some level of AI-fueled self-governing ability. On-gadget intelligence matched with low-latency systems will improve driver performance and road safety. The wireless edge permits vehicles to react quickly to current conditions. Increasingly immersive experiences with boundless extended reality includes virtual reality, augmented reality, and everything in between. XR can be experienced through an assortment of gadgets, including glasses and headsets. Current versions of mobile XR rely upon on-gadget processing, as the latency to communicate with the central cloud is too high to meet motion-to-photon necessities but is constrained by the power and thermal constraints of a slim and lightweight form factor that is worn on the head. To deliver truly immersive experiences in a sleek form factor, on-device processing needs to be augmented by the edge cloud. With 5G’s low latency and high capacity connectivity, XR experiences can become more photorealistic and completely immersive, with applications ranging from gaming and entertainment to education and healthcare (Qualcomm, fierce-wireless-ebrief-realizing-new-5g-possibilities-with-the-intelligent-wireless-edge, 2019).

3.      The Next Generation of the Internet of Things (IoT)

The IoT and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are advancing towards the up and coming age of Tactile IoT, uniting hyper-connectivity, edge computing, Distributed Ledger Technologies, virtual and augmented reality, and AI transformation. IoT is a dynamic global network infrastructure with self-designing capacities dependent on standard and interoperable communication conventions where physical and virtual things have characteristics, physical properties, and virtual characters using intelligent interfaces for consistently integrating into the information network and is empowered by heterogeneous innovations used to detect, gather, store, act, process, infer, transmit, create notifications of and or for, manage and break down information. The blend of emerging technologies for data processing and disseminated security gets new difficulties tending to distributed IoT architectures and distributed security mechanisms shaping the establishment of improved and totally new new products and services. These new systems in the IoT depend on a constant examination of data at the edge (Vermesan, 2018). They are moving ceaselessly from centralized cloud-computing solutions, that are ideal for non-ongoing applications, and towards disseminated intelligent edge computing systems that introduce computations at the edge of the network where information is generated and are perfect for real-time services. It exhibits very low latency and can be used for simple ultra-fast analytics jobs and contributes to increased privacy of the user data.

IoT developments in recent years have been characterized by six attributes which are Anything, Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime, Any path and Any service. The IoT worldview is developing and whole IoT ecosystems are now built upon innervation elements known as the 6Cs which are; Collect data generated from the connections of devices and information, Connect heterogeneous devices and information, Cache involving stored information in the distributed IoT computing environment, Compute with advanced processing and computation of data and information, Cognize information analytics, insights, extractions, real-time AI processing and Create new interactions, services, experiences, business models and solutions.

The IoT changes physical objects in the surrounding environment into ecosystems of data enhancing people’s lives as it impacts the future Internet landscape, with implications for security and protection while lessening the digital divide. The increased reliance of AI and the IoT on the connectivity network, together with the seriousness of security challenges, builds their vulnerabilities in parallel. The continuous and future achievements of the Internet is connected to how it will react to these dangers as a driver for financial and social developments. Consolidating AI with the IoT guarantees new opportunities, running from new services and forward leaps in science to the growth of human insight and its assembly with the physical and digital world. The up and coming age of IoT-combining technologies will require increased human-focused safeguards and organized moral contemplations in their design and deployment. The IoT is is overcoming any issues between the virtual, digital and physical worlds by uniting people, processes, information and things while producing information through IoT applications and stages and it accomplishes this while tending to issues of security, privacy and trust issues in an era where use of emerging technology is expected to increase. . IoT is therefore driving computerized change and as a worldwide idea, it requires a typical elevated level definition since it is a worldview including multidisciplinary exercises and has various implications at various degrees of deliberation through the information and knowledge value chain (Vermesan, 2018).

With regards to industry digitization, IoT unites the essential attributes of Next Generation Internet technology, mobile systems and ubiquitous connectivity with those of industrial control systems, sensing, actuating and control capabilities since they share have three quality measurements, uprightness, accessibility and privacy, fundamental for actualizing applications in modern vertical domains and across different vertical domains. Interoperability, stage coordination and normalization are fundamental for digitizing industry applications. IoT gadgets and frameworks that expand on improved detecting, thinking capacities, and computational force at the edge are as of now turning into an essential piece of an incorporated NGI as opposed to basic augmentations of the Internet, and accordingly, the IoT is promising in a hyper associated world. It is turning out to be progressively certain that the primary advantage of IoT frameworks is the system impact when various frameworks are incorporated and along these lines offering meet people’s high expectations before it can make genuine cross-space administrations with consistent developments of gadgets and information with an absence of stable usage and assortment of accessible gadgets undermining it. A standard solution for IoT interoperability could bring about a few executions whose viability would should be checked and affirmed. The combination of hyper network, IoT, AI, DLTs and edge figuring requires the NGI to address these difficulties suggesting the recognizable proof of the correct plans of action and the best possible administration structure, supporting information development across frameworks and distinguish obligation in the event of any issues, just as a comprehension of the way to conquer the present specialized discontinuity in the IoT. With multi-get to edge registering and omnipresent hyper availability abilities, the IoT is presently ready to process a lot of data, resulting from its associations, to be utilized for shrewd purposes by cutting Edge AI calculations. The cognitive transformation of IoT applications also allows the use of optimized solutions for individual applications and the integration of immersive technologies (Vermesan, 2018).

4.      Edge, cloud infrastructure for the future network

The Internet advancing quickly toward the future conceivably interfacing billions even trillions of gadgets. The vast majority of these gadgets will be situated at the Edge of the Internet. It could give new applications, changing numerous parts of both customary modern creations and our regular living. A portion of these gadgets incorporate Apple watches, Oculus Rift caps, Google Nest, Fitbit sports trackers, and Google Glasses. The edge IoT gadgets really can be any sort of sensors and chips with different capacities made by various makers, and numerous applications can be worked to empower savvy home, brilliant social insurance, shrewd transportation, keen structures, and savvy urban communities. For the present distributed computing and application framework, usually these a lot of edge gadgets need to work intimately with the application servers situated at few circulated enormous size datacenters in light of the fact that a large portion of the calculation, stockpiling, and systems administration assets are in these force datacenters claimed by the Application Service Providers.

The conventionally current centralized cloud computing model favors several large-sized distributed datacenters proving to be a huge success in the current Internet and was broadly adopted by the aforementioned giant corporations. The achievement can be credited to its arrangement of an on-request pay-more only as costs arise administration to the clients which bringing down the possessing cost for general clients. It gives versatility of registering, stockpiling, and systems administration assets which is adaptable and versatile. Facilitating big-data analytics using machine learning technologies due to the highly centralized colocation of intensive computation and data, and so, through economics of scale in operations and system administration the conventional cloud computing wins. However, such a centralized model will face significant challenges toward the IoT world such as volume and velocity of data accumulation of IoT devices. In current models, the new application delivery depends on giant companies’ proprietary overlays and tools, and they have to transfer all the data from the edge devices to the remote data centers, which will be impossible considering the volume and velocity of the data generated by the IoT devices in the future. Latency due to the distance between edge IoT devices and data centers. The centralized cloud model also points to the fact that edge devices are usually relatively far away from the data centers. Later on, when the quantity of edge gadgets encounters exponential increment, it is possible that high dormancy can be a major test to many utilizations that include start to finish interchanges. Imposing a business model versus open IoT rivalry. As of now, brought together cloud framework is costly to manufacture and is just moderate to monster organizations that will, in general, characterize and utilize exclusive conventions. Clients have handily adhered to some particular frameworks as the expense of changing to others could be unpleasant. Such absence of transparency could prompt an imposing business model, hardening of the Internet, and further hinder developments.

With open edge cloud infrastructures, the previously mentioned challenge can be tended to by giving nearby registering, stockpiling, and systems administration assets to help the regularly asset poor IoT gadgets. The information created by the edge gadgets at confusing rates can be put away and preprocessed by the neighborhood edge cloud. Just a little volume of handled information is required to be sent back to focal datacenters. The networking load can be reduced. Also, the IoT gadgets can offload their errands to the edge servers if the heaps are past their abilities. Since the edge cloud is closer to the devices, the latency can be well controlled compared to the conventional cloud computing model. Thirdly, an open edge cloud innovation platform can break the monopoly and accommodate fairer competition among all stakeholders, no matter if they are giant corporations or small or medium-sized inventors, vendors, or ASPs. Specifically, these small or medium-sized stakeholders are usually closer to common users and are the most active and innovative groups for the Internet community. Such an open environment would help nurture future innovations.

To show how the conventional cloud computing and the new edge cloud computing differ in various aspects, we summarize and compare their major characteristics in Table I.

Table I. Brief comparisons between conventional cloud computing and edge cloud and edge computing.

Overall, the current edge cloud research is in an early stage, and there are many challenges to be addressed.  However, such trends and demands are being widely acknowledged.

5.      Big Data Analytics in 5G

The intermingling of 5G, IoT, and Advanced Data Analytics will upset the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) environment making ready for new plans of action, innovation development, and horde open doors for applications overall industry verticals that depend on Telecom and IT administrations. 5G vows to empower insightful system and application administrations with the network to remote sensors, gigantic measures of IoT information, and low idleness information transmissions. Big Data analytics will play a significant role in the evolution of 5G standards enabling the intelligence across network, applications, and business (Somisetty, 2018).

Not at all like 4G LTE, 5G speaks to a reason constructed innovation, structured and designed to encourage associated gadgets just as computerization frameworks. From multiple points of view, it will be a facilitator and a quickening agent of the following modern insurgency promising to convey high information rates with ultra-low inertness for applications. Data Analytics is at the sweet-spot taking full advantage of 5G network characteristics such as high-bandwidth, low-latency, and mobile edge computing (MEC). 5G’s ability to support massive connectivity across diverse devices, backed by the distributed compute architectures, creates the ability to translate the big data-at-rest and the data-in-motion into real-time insights with actionable intelligence.  Data Analytics will play a dual-role in the context of 5G.  On one side, it will keep supporting different business applications or use-cases over 5G systems, yet on the opposite side, it will assume a basic job in the turnout of 5G and system tasks. Application Intelligence is another area where 5G application use-case spectrum is very broad including wearables, smart home, smart cities, autonomous cars and industry automation.  IoT and Industry 4.0 are going to be the biggest drivers for 5G applications. Hence, Context-Aware Engine will become an integral part of 5G to make networks aware of the underlying context and cognitive enough to provide smart experiences for an individual subscriber on the network with better flow management decisions. In-network intelligence, 5G networks are inherently complex with multiple layers of virtual functions, virtual and physical RAN assets, spectrum usage, distributed computing nodes and based on SDN/NFV concepts (Hodges, 2015).  Network analytics will become very critical to build a flexible 5G network where roll-out and operational complexity is simplified. Network planning and optimization to decide where to scale specific network functions and application services will be based on machine learning algorithms that analyze network utilization and traffic data patterns more closely and thus, Operations and Business Support Systems will have analytics integrated and embedded into their toolset.

Big Data Analytics is inalienably synergistic with other 5G innovation patterns, for example, SDN/NFV and MEC. Following are the key patterns and business drivers that will shape the guide of information examination in 5G: Mobile Cloud/Edge Computing; Mobile Cloud Sensing, Big Data, and 5G Network make an Intelligent and Smart World Mission-critical applications such as public safety and healthcare domain would need analytics in real-time.  Thanks to slicing-based traffic prioritization, MEC-based local analytics or the latency improvements promised by new 5G air interface, 5G lays a foundation for supporting mission-critical edge analytics and tactile internet applications. 5G makes it possible to not just sense and analyze at the Edge but also trigger actuators to trigger response actions within a fraction of seconds, and all data seamlessly travels from cloud to a plethora of endpoints and vice-versa (Xianbin Wang, 2015). IoT over 5G; The mass amount of information being created by the IoT has the power to revolutionize everything from manufacturing to healthcare to the layout and functioning of smart cities, allowing them to work more efficiently and profitably than ever before (Ismail, 2017). Information Monetization: Telco’s until 4G/LTE have been just utilizing information to improve administration quality and client experience. Be that as it may, with the numerous prospects of 5G arrange administrations joined with IoT and AI, they will investigate new plans of action of adaptation, for example, canny endeavor application administrations. Predictive Maintenance is the leading use-case of Industry 4.0 helping in predicting failures before they occur by leveraging AI, anticipated to have an increasing role in ICT, and rapidly become integrated into many aspects of communication, applications, content, and commerce (Scully, 2017). Psychological Analytics in 5G will transform itself into Machine or Deep Learning and will develop to a degree that gains from the unique situation, predicts what will occur straightaway, recommends the following best activity or step, gains from the past standards of conduct for taking the most ideal choice, and for completely self-ruling applications, robotizes the following activity. Investigation created experiences can progressively drive dynamic, and with the speed of 5G, more data will be gathered and prepared, quicker than any time in recent memory prompting intellectual insight applications. Technical challenges and path to 5G include High Speed Data-In-Motion, Advanced cloud infrastructure support, Support for Application and Network Intelligence, End-to-End Security, and Real-Time Actionable Insights. In a simple network with limited capabilities, data analytics is of marginal importance: the network can only carry so much data, and there’s not that much network data to collect or act on.  5G networks look to be anything but limited or simple, making analytics key to delivering on the 5G promise and making the full use of 5G resources.

6.      Artificial Intelligent and Edge: Essential in The 5G Era

Intelligent edge will be critically important for 5G. While 5G could be deployed without artificial intelligence and edge compute, Strategy Analytics predicts that these two technologies combined will be table stakes to deliver on the promise of 5G (Grimaldo, 2018). see a job for AI to both improve activities and make new help openings. As systems get progressively perplexing and serve a lot more endpoints with 5G, AI turns out to be increasingly basic. Compute power at the network edge can simultaneously impact network efficiency and improve service experience for both consumer and enterprise or industrial use cases. Probably the greatest advantage of edge process is lower idleness, which is basic for various 5G use cases. In any case, different qualities exist, for example, ‘geo-fencing’ the information, higher security, control of backhaul, and new developments because of the qualities edge process brings. Service Providers who combine the benefits of AI with compute power at the network edge will be able to offer compelling value propositions that enhance the return on investment of 5G (Grimaldo, 2018).

Computer-based intelligence has been utilized as an umbrella term to incorporate different points from AI and information investigation to genuine computerization, and spreads both system driven and client or administration driven use cases. With regards to the new system worldview dependent on virtualization empowered by Software-Defined Networking and Network Function Virtualization, there is a chance to push different capacities, including AI preparing, out to the edge of the system in a circulated design. Intel characterizes edge figuring as applications, information, and administrations situated at the edge of a system instead of in a brought together datacenter. With edge figuring, it is achievable to push kinds of AI and capacities that once in the past required large server farms into dispersed server farms and AI processors closer to the client, at the starting gadget, at the undertaking or in an administrator’s neighborhood get to arrange and even in the RAN.

Since there are numerous edges, AI preparing should be possible any place it is generally effective for a particular application, administration or system activity. Artificial intelligence in one edge may even help an AI procedure at another: Device as edge; one edge is an end client or IoT gadget creating and expending information and will probably have some type of implanted AI. System Analytics predicts that in 5 years about each cell phone chip will be an AI chip and that utilization cases will extend past the present spotlight on 3D face discovery, picture acknowledgment and Animoji. These brilliant gadgets may send and get information to and from extra AI frameworks that have more process power than the gadget itself or that can total information from numerous such gadgets for examination and activity. Venture premise organizes Edge can bolster AI preparing running at any area in an endeavor while gathering and handling information from keen gadgets as they expend or produce information. Neighborhood AI may require network to refresh ML models from the cloud, however may not depend on consistent availability if the nearby AI processor can bolster the outstanding task at hand and administrations required. Administrator organize edge, frequently alluded to as multi-get to edge process (MEC,) might be situated at a conveyed server farm sitting at a radio pinnacle, edge switch, base station, Central Office or Internet portal with register power and an AI stack to have applications and administrations for both the administrator itself and its accomplices who use the AI capacities. Both AI and edge register are fundamental for 5G to planner and deal with the system in manners that empower cost efficiencies, improve execution and convey cutting edge administrations.

Big data and AI forms a virtuous cycle for next-generation connected computing. Ubiquitous connectivity enables connected devices of all form factors to generate huge volumes of data that help improve the performance of AI, in turn generating even more valuable data.  However, in the conventional cloud model, the link between the centralized cloud and the client has increasingly become a bottleneck, as the virtuous cycle continues to drive ever more data and increasingly lower latency services and applications. Some of the main benefits that AI and MEC together can deliver for 5G include low latency for real-time services, enhanced security and backhaul cost savings. Most importantly operators can provide a platform for innovation and open edge services to partners and developers to create applications that support consumer, enterprise and multiple verticals while adding significant value to their business. The vision for MEC with AI can be divided into two general categories: benefits for network operations and enablement of new services.

5G will be costly proportional without AI for computerization across tasks. 5G should progressively arrange and scale numerous sorts of gadgets and applications varying. The proficiency of doing, however much sharp handling as could reasonably be expected at the edge with AI, can drastically diminish the expense of 5G organization and administration conveyance on a progressing premise. The capabilities and value proposition of AI at the edge with 5G connectivity will enable innovative approaches to meet low latency/real-time service needs, something not previously available with mobility, thus creating a new playground for innovation in services (Grimaldo, 2018).

7.      5G, AI and Cloud: Unleashing Intelligent Connectivity

Intelligent connectivity is enabled through the collaboration of AI, connectivity, cloud and edge and IoT according to the IHS Markit’s Intelligent Connectivity white paper released at the OPPO INNO DAY event on December 10 in Shenzhen, China (Wanyi, 2019). The white paper points out that all these ever-evolving AI, 5G and so on technologies need to work together to create immersive experiences other than creating a number of separate devices for consumers. Tom Morrod, Research Executive Director of IHS Markit, said at OPPO INNO DAY that Intelligent Connectivity is not about a single product or device, but a very complicated ecosystem and many companies involved. Therefore, openness and exchanges across industries are needed. Tony Chen, the OPPO Founder and CEO, also expressed similar thoughts in his opening speech in Mandarin. As stated in IHS Markit’s white paper, AI is a pivotal enabler of intelligent connectivity, however currently in its infancy, and human beings are just into the so-called “narrow” or “weak AI” today. As for whether to deploy AI in the cloud or at the edge, many real-life applications and use cases opt for a hybrid cloud-edge approach.

According to the Global Mobile Suppliers’ Association, 50 operators had launched 3GPP-compliant 5G commercial services across 27 countries; 328 operators in 109 countries were investing in 5G. China’s three giant mobile operators China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom, having officially launched commercial 5G services ahead of schedule, IHS Markit expected that by year-end these three operators will deploy over 100,000 5G base stations and 5G is set to be available in 50 cities across China and expected to rise to one million in 2020. Last but not least, smartphones play a key role in humans’ intellectual connectivity lives. In IHS Markit’s view, the rise of many digital assistants, such as Amazon Alexa, has not demised smartphones with their basic functions expected to be improved continuously and comprehensively to continue to strengthen its key role in the 5G and the IoT ecosystem (Wanyi, 2019).

The Oxford English Dictionary, defines intelligence as the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills (Murray, 1884). Its three definitions of intelligence demonstrate that not only humans, but also devices, buildings and computers can possess such knowledge and skills. The intelligence of a device is distributing knowledge to office workers who respond to it accordingly. The fire officers who attended the scene locate the fire and put it out. They inform the building facilities director that the fire was caused by a boiler exploding due to overheating. A new boiler is bought and installed that has embedded sensors monitoring gas and water supply, temperature and pressure, and connectivity (Tom Morrod, 2019). Sensor data is then communicated via wired or wireless technology from the boiler, an IoT device, to a cloud-based portal, which the building director can access on her lap top or smartphone where he/she can remotely manage the operation of the boiler and how it transmits information. This situation may diminish the probability of another fire in the structure brought about by the kettle overheating. In an elective situation, the information from the implanted sensors is transmitted to a cloud-based systematic motor that applies man-made consciousness to the information and realizes what blend of components are probably going to make the evaporator overheat and detonate. This knowledge can be applied to computerize the activity of the kettle, including the modification of settings and programmed shutdown. Here, information streams from the gadget to the cloud-based expository motor, and knowledge streams once more from the cloud to the gadget.
