You can now drive an excavator using 5G technology, making mining as easy as a game. In the exhibition area of China Telecom at the annual World Internet Conference (WIC) being held in Wuzhen, Zhejiang Province, you can see how an operator can drive the excavator while sitting in a room. Several unmanned transportation vehicles can be busy in the mining area, but the operators of the excavators can be thousands of miles away. As the staff said, featuring large bandwidth and low latency, 5G technology can be applied in remote control and unmanned driving.
