The North East Region (NER) of India, with its unique geographical and socio-economic challenges, stands to benefit significantly from the rapid deployment of 5G communications technology and AMTRON’s 5G Experience Center in Guwahati is leading the way in this direction.
By leveraging 5G’s ultra-low latency, high-speed connectivity, and massive IoT capabilities, innovative applications can drive economic growth, improve governance, and enhance quality of life.
Below are some key areas where 5G Experience center is showcasing the 5G prowess for North East India:
Agriculture: Precision Farming & Smart Agri-Tech
The 5G Experience Center is showcasing use case on IoT-based soil and crop monitoring using 5G-connected sensors. This is done in a way to optimize water usage, fertilizer application, and pest control.
Blockchain-enabled supply chains can also ensure transparency in the export of North East’s organic produce Assam tea or Manipur black rice.
Education: Immersive & Remote Learning
5G Experience Center is showcasing on how AR/VR-based classrooms can provide interactive learning experiences, especially in tribal areas with limited access to quality education.
Real-time language translation tools can also help bridge linguistic barriers among diverse ethnic groups. 5G-powered digital labs can enable remote STEM education with live experiments streamed from urban institutions.
Tourism: Enhanced Visitor Experiences
Augmented Reality (AR) guides can enrich heritage tourism activities (e.g., Kaziranga, Tawang Monastery) with real-time historical insights.
High-speed live streaming of festivals (e.g., Hornbill Festival, Bihu) can attract global virtual tourists to the North East Region.
Drones: Crop Surveillance and Mapping Remote Terrains
The center is showcasing on how drones can be used for crop surveillance and mapping remote parts of North East Region. Drones can transmit high-resolution images in real-time, helping farmers detect diseases early and therefore result in better crop yield.
Drone driven solution can help towards mapping remote parts of the region in a timely and efficient manner.
5G Network in a Box (5G NIAB)
This can allow us to connect multiple devices to the 5G network, enabling completely secured, high-speed data transfer and data seamless connectivity. This is a central device for exploring IoT, AR, VR applications.
5G-Enabled Healthcare
5G-enabled healthcare can bridge the gap between remote villages and urban healthcare centers, providing real-time consultations with specialists. AI-powered diagnostics using 5G-connected devices can enable faster disease detection and epidemic monitoring. Below are some of the cases showcased at the 5G Experience Center that are utilising the power of 5G to drive healthcare innovation in remote areas.
Locomotive e-Foot Scanning Device
Today we come across so many locomotor disorders of old age and even amongst youngsters, wherein, they are required to travel to get their foot deformity assessed.
Drive by 5G network – this is a device that can be located at remote places which can give you the information directly without you physically going to a health facility.
5G-Enabled Diabetic Retinopathy Device
Diabetes is a big issue and because of prolonged diabetes – we have issue with eyes. This can be easily checked with the help of this 5G driven device.
Most importantly, this device can be easily managed and operated by 12th class pass out person – and hence it can be an innovative way to generate employment for youth in remote areas.
IoT Based ECG Device
This 5G-enabled solution consists of an ECG belt, an ankle clamp and an IoT sensor. This device helps in ECG diagnosis over cloud with the help of doctors who provide their report. Based on the report, patients in remote areas can take appropriate precautionary measures.
SC-AN by Superceuticals
This is a next-generation diagnostic device that delivers accurate results in minutes with the help of 5G based communications. A tiny blood sample is all it takes.
The sample undergoes multi-parameter analysis, leveraging the power of biochemical-biophysical technology to unlock critical health insights. This holds great potential to revolutionize diagnostics in remote areas of North East Region.
