Future Potential: Beyond 5G (6G), we expect speeds of 1 Tbps and advanced AI-driven networks by 2030.
Challenges in Emerging Trends

IoT: Data security and privacy concerns.


Edge/Fog Computing: Infrastructure costs and standardization issues.
AR/VR: High hardware and network requirements.
5G: Uneven global rollout and high implementation costs.
Scenario 1: IoT and Mobile Integration in a Smart Home

Situation: Sarah is a working professional who has a busy schedule. She


uses her smartphone to manage her smart home.
Action: Sarah's smartphone connects to various IoT devices in her home:
• Her mobile app automatically adjusts the thermostat based on her schedule.
• A smart lock notifies her when her kids arrive home from school.
• The fridge sends an alert to her phone, indicating low milk levels.
Outcome: The integration of IoT devices with Sarah's mobile app saves
her time, energy, and ensures her family’s safety.
Key Learning: This demonstrates the power of IoT and mobile
integration in daily life.
Scenario 2: Edge Computing in a Smart
City
Situation: A busy intersection in a smart city has sensors and cameras to
manage traffic.
Action:
• Edge nodes installed at the intersection process real-time traffic data.
• A mobile app sends notifications to drivers about congestion and suggests alternate
routes.
• Pedestrian crossing signals dynamically adjust based on the number of people waiting.
Outcome: Traffic congestion is reduced, and safety is improved, all without
relying on centralized cloud processing.
Key Learning: Edge computing enhances responsiveness in critical systems
like traffic management.
Scenario 3: AR in Retail

Situation: Mike wants to buy a new sofa but isn’t sure if it will fit or
match his living room’s design.
Action:
