Droids designed for monitoring hazardous spaces like manufacturing facilities or oil rigs were in the spotlight.

From robots and drones to monitoring mechanisms as well as smart home gadgets, the future of megacities like Dubai relies heavily on the availability of glitch-free, high-speed and dependable 5G networks, which of course will be replaced by even quicker ways to connect in the years that follow. Telcos in the UAE have delivered consistent performance throughout the pandemic, and internet in the country has been recognised as the world's fastest on multiple occasions throughout the region's digital transition.

Flow of information coupled with analysis of data in real-time is crucial for making the most of connected vehicles, devices linked to one platform or robots repoting to a single command centre, and 5G internet is the non-negotiable requirement for this. This is why one of the two top telcos in the Emirates has demonstrated the strength of its network by using Amazon Web Service's Athonet system, for controlling droids that can monitor hazard-prone sites like manufacturing facilities and oil rigs.

Backed by AWS, Athonet provided the core 5G network for cloud-based connectivity, which allowed telecom service provider du to flaunt its capabilities, by putting the spotlight on products of Energy Robotics. Remote controlled robots used for this demonstration can also be deployed as devices for surveillance, while they can even double up as a workforce at factories.

With the ability to watch and hear, the autonomous droids can conduct inspections from sites where risk of accidents is high, hence ensuring protection for the staff. Being linked via 5G also allows these smart machines to relay real-time visual data in high definition, as they maintain accuracy which may not be achievable for the han eye.

All of this is powered by AWS Snowball Edge tech, which has on board storage paired with edge computing capabilities, and can conduct data analytics before transferring info between digital environments. Thanks to 5G speed, the networks for controlling devices can achieve low latency to the point where the time difference between a command being sent and the task being executed will only be one millisecond.
