Telemedicine could enter a whole new phase thanks to advancements made possible by 5G. Doctors in China's Hainan province could successfully perform a robotic brain surgery on a patient 3,000 km away in Beijing with the help of China Mobile and Huawei's 5G network, according to local media. The low latency and high bandwidth of 5G could be extremely valuable in performing more such remote procedures in the days to come, saving a lot of time and effort for both patients and clinicians.

This is one of the very few scenarios in which 5G could actually make a difference. Actually, why wasn't it on a patient in Tibet? Obviously a technology to bring medical resources to rural areas would be more valuable than one from one urban center (Sanya) to another that would most likely (certainly, in the case of Beijing) have its equivalent anyway, but the cost of deploying 5G remains prohibitive, and this surgery could also have been achieved with old fashioned servers and optical fiber.

Wow, so you've tasted green maggots? Impressively disgusting, Thom@ss, almost as disgusting as being a Huawei apologist.
Too bad all the hype surrounding 5G is built on pseudo-demand, including but not limited to Huawei's.
Whoa, what a breakthrough! Oh, wait, this isn't a breakthrough at all. We've had networks in place for decades that can handle this. Choo choo hype train gimme clicks gimme clicks
