5G technology can improve public safety

Not only is 5G technology safe for humans, it can actually improve public safety. From healthcare to law enforcement, 5G technology can allow for swift communication that can save lives. For instance, Verizon has created augmented-reality glasses for police officers. These glasses would need the high speed connectivity of the 5G environment to work effectively, but if they were introduced into police departments, they would shift officer’s body cameras to their glasses. This shift would allow for constant surveillance of officer activity, as well as the ability for officers to receive orders and information through their glasses, so they wouldn’t have to look away from a potential suspect. 5G could create a safer policing environment for both officers and the general public.^[1] The medical field could also benefit from 5G technology. 5G can allow for applications that would give doctors quick and reliable access to patient files and information. Beyond this, telemedicine could become more accessible to people who may not have had the ability to reach their healthcare providers online before.^[2] Overall, 5G technology creates quicker and more accessible connectivity that could allow for more efficiency in the most important aspects of society.
