5G Pathway Navigation for Smart Infrastructure

As they work to improve the quality of life of residents by using information and communication technology, the ideas of smart buildings (SB) and smart facilities management (SFM) are very important. The existing network architecture, however, presents a number of difficulties for SFM, including problems like limited bandwidth, excessive latency, and the inability to support a significant number of loT (Internet of Things) devices. With its high-quality network services, network slicing capabilities, and low latency that all contribute to real-time operational efficiency, the introduction of 5G technology presents potential futures. Additionally, 5G has the potential to promote a more sustainable future by significantly lowering energy use and reshaping present applications to better meet sustainability goals. The pros and disadvantages of incorporating 5G technology into various SFM use cases are examined in this article. This report also provides insight into the elaborate strategy by authority for the adoption of 5G technology. In accordance with Singapore's 5G execution plan, it also describes the strategic pathway for SFM case study initiatives led by the 5G Advanced Training BIM Lab. The lab works together with diverse industry partners to develop innovative 5G use cases outside the context of these 5G SFM initiatives. In addition, it has created a system of instruction to boost student engagement and provide professionals in mid-career the resources they need to advance their skill sets and adjust to the benefits of the 5G network. This paper offers insights into the next developments and growth of SFM systems via the use of 5G networks, serving as an excellent resource for academics and companies. It highlights the need to adopt teaching and learning initiatives that help organisations achieve superior levels of organisational excellence while maximising the advantages of the technology known as 5G. It also emphasises the need of pursuing greater sustainability targets.
