The world is poised to change forever with the implementation of fifth-generation connectivity for data networks across the world. 5G has been promised to be the savior to any connectivity problems we've had in the past and it's also been highlighted as a path towards a fully wireless future.

The medical device industry is transforming. Nearly 80% of medical material companies believe that medical networking is the most important growth opportunity in the future, and 45% believe that cooperation with strategic partners is necessary. In fact, for medical IT solution vendors, the next decade is also an opportunity for their growth.

As discussed in Tech Trends 2019: Beyond the Digital Frontier, technology forces that are increasingly dependent on advanced connectivity capabilities also are reshaping enterprise architecture.

What is the development and application prospect of edge computing? When cloud computing is not enough to process and analyze data generated or to be generated by IoT devices, connected cars and other digital platforms in real time, edge computing will come in handy. Edge computing technology has the potential to be applied in many industries and plays a huge role.

Edge computing is a distributed computing architecture that moves applications, data, and services from the central node of the network to the logical edge nodes of the network for processing. Edge computing decomposes large-scale services that were originally processed by the central node into smaller and more manageable parts, and is distributed to the edge nodes for processing.

5G is the engine of Industry 4.0, reshaping the industry! How should Taiwan's manufacturing industry seize the opportunity to upgrade its manufacturing industry?

Driven by the German government's national policy, Industry 4.0 has become the most high-profile manufacturing issue in the world. Therefore, countries have successively launched corresponding smart manufacturing policies. With the help of 5G, the world is facing an uncompleted and perfect 5G environment to respond to smart manufacturing Yes, and Taiwan still has many opportunities and challenges in 5G smart manufacturing. Taiwan ’s 5G commercialization is imminent, and it is still expected that the government, telecommunications operators, and automation industry will work together to accelerate the full implementation of 5G.
