It does very similar things to 4G, but at much faster speeds, allowing for more reliable connectivity and greater capacity for devices.<\/p>\n<h4>What\u2019s new?<\/h4>\n<p>Since 5G was announced, it\u2019s been rolled out across the globe with most major network suppliers offering 5G in selected areas. Whilst it\u2019s not available everywhere just yet, 5G can be found in most cities and towns, with villages and rural areas coming soon.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re still mostly relying on 3G, you might need to make some changes or risk getting left behind. 3G networks are steadily being phased out across the globe, with most networks set to go offline in 2022.<\/p>\n<h4>So how can 5G help your fleet management?<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Stay connected<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest advantages that comes with 5G is connectivity speeds. This faster system will make communicating with a far-flung fleet much easier and more effective, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-au\/learning-zone\/how-to-reduce-vehicle-downtime\/\">helping to reduce downtime<\/a> and increase productivity.<\/p>\n<p>Upgrades to the services currently provided by 4G in vehicles will support drivers by making communication with their team and other fleet assets much easier.<\/p>\n<p>5G also gives high visibility into routes, allowing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-au\/learning-zone\/effective-fleet-manager\/\">fleet managers<\/a> to better optimise journeys and communicate this to drivers. Preventative re-routing using real-time updates on things like traffic and accidents can help your team to drive more efficiently and save time along the way.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Work smarter, not harder<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>5G has opened the door for smart technologies. From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ofcom.org.uk\/phones-telecoms-and-internet\/advice-for-consumers\/advice\/what-is-5g\">farmers trialling autonomous farm machinery to ambulances using 5G to connect paramedics to hospital staff,<\/a> 5G can help your business to utilise systems that might not previously have been viable.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-au\/learning-zone\/making-sense-telematics-using-fleet-management-software\/\">Technologies like telematics<\/a> are set to be revolutionised by 5G as it enables more functionality, giving a better driver experience and producing more real-time diagnostic data for fleet managers.<\/p>\n<p>5G connectivity also bolsters intelligent asset tracking devices, allowing businesses visibility over supply chains and giving them the data needed to identify gaps, helping to mitigate any problems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Improved data sharing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>5G technology brings with it improved latency, allowing you to send more data and larger files at faster speeds than ever before. A quicker network helps to improve productivity and allows real-time collaboration on tasks, saving you time and potentially money.<\/p>\n<p>This responsiveness will also improve in-vehicle features such as assisted parking and collision sensors, greatly increasing collision avoidance capabilities and potentially reducing the risk of accidents in the process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Planning your move to 5G<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whilst 5G promises fantastic developments for fleets, it\u2019s important to plan thoroughly if you\u2019re thinking of switching.<\/p>\n<p>Current hardware might not be supported by 5G technology, so it\u2019s vital that you determine how much kit will need to be upgraded for the move. If you have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-au\/integrations\/\">software integrations<\/a> such as telematics, make sure to discuss any upgrades with integration providers to ensure everything will still communicate effectively.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re still using 3G, make sure you&#8217;re aware of the network provider\u2019s \u2018sunset\u2019 date as 3G technology is steadily phased out.<\/p>\n<p>Future-proofing your fleet is a good move. Leveraging smart <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chevinfleet.com\/en-au\/products\/fleetwave\/\">fleet management software<\/a> is vital if you want to reap the rewards of 5G technology. If you\u2019re using outdated fleet management systems, you might find that you end up with obsolete processes as 5G expands across the globe. Don\u2019t get left behind \u2013 get started with smarter fleet management software today.<\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out what&#8217;s happening with 5G and how it could benefit your fleet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5793,"menu_order":0,"template":"","training-cats":[34],"class_list":["post-5792","training","type-training","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","training-cats-blog"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.3 (Yoast SEO v26.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Where are we with 5G and how can it help fleet management? | Chevin<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Find out what&#039;s the latest with 5G and how it could benefit your fleet management operation.
