Main Body

Avalanches are rapid fall of snow and other debris down the hills covered with ice. Causes: Heavy snowfall, Infrastructure development may cause doshkuty. Impacts: (1) Loss of life property and economic loss along the path (2) Infrastructure damage - like roads, power lines (3) Trigger land slides in adjacent areas (4) Disrupt economic activities and defence activities like border management

3IoT application - 5G can power to IoT (Internet of things) into daily lives and homes
4AR and VR - Artificial & Virtual reality can be much more immersive and teachable due to low latency nature
5Governance - 5G can aid in improving eGovernance services in hinterland and faraway areas

Different from 4G:

4G | 5G

1Speed around 100mbps | (1) Speeds can reach around 1 GBPS
2Latency around 100ms | (2) Latency around 10ms
3Coverage is less per tower | (3) High coverage under single cover
4Low bandwidth | (4) High frequency bandwidth
