App, GSPA Associations See Big 5G Benefits

The GPS Innovation Alliance and ACT|The App Association highlighted benefits of 5G in a blog post Wednesday. Tops was agriculture. "High-precision GPS-enabled automated steering of tractors delivers accuracy to within a few centimeters,” the groups said. “This accuracy reduces unnecessary waste of critical resources, including water, seed, and fertilizer. Similarly, a 60-minute drone flight used to survey crops or livestock can typically collect 3 gigabytes of raw data.”
