Additionally, Nokia also demonstrated solutions to show how 5G will be the platform enabling growth in many industries, ranging from the IT industry to the car, entertainment, agriculture and manufacturing industries. The low latency and ultra-reliability aspects of 5G technology was demonstrated with a 5G autonomous car use case that showed how autonomous car traffic can be controlled smoothly.
