Critical control of remote devices

5G introduces the ability to remotely control devices and heavy machinery, thus unlocking the potential for improved medical services and surgeries that would otherwise unavailable to rural communities. 5G would also allow for heavy machinery to be controlled from a distance, making hazardous situations safer for humans.
Case
5G will allow for heavy machinery to be controlled remotely
5G will allow for heavy machinery to be controlled remotely.

Benefits

Amongst other benefits, 5G will allow for heavy machinery to be controlled remotely. This lowers the risk of injury in hazardous environments and means that work can be completed in a more effective way. Similarly, industries like manufacturing and mining will experience better efficiency and reduced costs.
