Amidst the ongoing epidemic, the concept of working from home has more or less become a commodity.
Which is a definite boon, considering how infectious the pandemic has proven to be. Though working from home may be ‘less productive’ in a sense, it also guarantees the user’s safety.

According to CCTV, 5G technology allows workers to remotely control equipment at the mine in a precise manner.
Apparently, this is a notion made possible by the high speed and low latency connectivity of the technology.

With this revolutionary discovery, workers are able to see what they are doing in real-time as they perform ‘heavy’ work on ‘site’.
Though honestly, it also forms a sight that would be better left veiled during this period of time.
However, it should be noted that though the technology seems amazingly advanced, no shortcomings, or the early stages of the technology’s deployment, were revealed to the public.
As such, we can’t be certain about the durability of the process, and whether it’s a viable option in the long term.
