The 5G technology, known for its large bandwidth, high speed, low latency, and multi-connection capabilities, significantly accelerates digital transformation in enterprises, especially in addressing factory automation challenges. It facilitates efficient machine-to-machine (M2M) and device-to-device (D2D) connectivity, ensuring rapid data transfer and seamless process convergence under 5G standards. Although 5G offers substantial communication and low latency benefits, its limited indoor coverage requires the deployment of decentralized antennas or small base stations. In contrast, Wi-Fi 6 seamlessly complements 5G, providing superior indoor mobile connectivity. This integration is crucial for businesses looking to accelerate digital transformation. To optimize 5G, the deployment of devices such as bypass switches, SDN switches, and MEC in the 5G Local Breakout network enables user access control and fast authentication. Real-world validation confirms the effectiveness of these measures, which are expected to lead to the future of 5G mobile networks.
