As 5G telecommunications take off, functions of smart cities will evolve, thus resulting in more connected, efficient, and sustainable urban settings. With its incredibly fast speed, little latency and widespread device connectivity, 5G is opening up new avenues for innovation in a range of industries, including public services and infrastructure.

5G enables cities to collect and interpret real-time data from millions of devices, optimizing traffic flow, easing congestion, and enhancing safety. Examples of this data include connected public transit and smart traffic lights.

It is also of note that 5G greatly impacts IoT (Internet of Things) which are crucial to smart city applications such as traffic light and public transportation control and so on. 5G also improves emergency services by exchanging data and enabling real-time communication. First responders can assess situations more quickly and efficiently by utilizing modern AI-powered analytics, drone monitoring, and high-definition video streaming; which would be an innovation and a step further in modernizing the urban life of Tbilisi.

To summarize, 5G is a key technology that will support smoother operations, improved public services, and the development of safer, greener metropolitan areas in the future of smart cities by enhancing the wider range of urban services as discussed.
