He can still recall the thrill of watching his message (only half joking) make history as it left his phone and <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>eared on that of a friend.<\/p>\n<p>Two decades later, Wiktorski is now head of networks for Samsung Canada, and still blown away by tech innovation, and the myriad advancements made possible to how we live, work and connect with each other.<\/p>\n<p>With the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.telus.com\/5G\">launch<\/a> this year across Canada of a revolutionary next-generation 5G network, that sense of excitement is stronger than ever. It\u2019s enough to make that first text feel like it was chiseled out of stone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c5G is a catalyst for change,\u201d says Wiktorski in an interview from the company\u2019s head office in Toronto. \u201cIt\u2019s not just about communications in the narrow definition we have today. With 5G, everything and everyone will communicate with each other quickly, reliably, and with near-endless data capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Just_the_beginning\"><\/span><strong>Just the beginning<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Beyond lightning-fast speeds, 5G will offer a leap in capabilities over today\u2019s 4G networks, including increased capacity, ultra-low latency, network slicing, and edge computing. These advancements are the foundation to powerful new applications that will touch virtually every aspect of our lives \u2014 from business, education, and community building to healthcare, food production, and communications.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the pandemic there was an increased reliance on virtual learning, and people now understand the need for a connected device that is reliable and ready for a faster connection,\u201d says Wiktorski.<\/p>\n<p>As the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> evolves, imagine Star Trek-like possibilities: appliances that not only tell us when we\u2019re out of milk, but also place the order and have it delivered; drones delivering takeout food and retail packages to our doorstep, and reading glasses that allow our eyes to surf the web.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of video chats or Zoom meetings on special occasions, families will be able to tap innovative wearable tech to virtually be in the room with loved ones, seeing what they see through immersive goggles and wristbands that allow them to interact with others in real time.<\/p>\n<p>On the entertainment side, artificial, virtual and mixed-reality tech, combined with haptic feedback, will mean <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>rs will not only see and hear what\u2019s happening in the game, but also touch and interact with the virtual world through precision vibrations that simulate everything from raindrops hitting the pavement to gunfire and explosions.<\/p>\n<p>5G will also trigger major changes in how we care for one another.<\/p>\n<p>Namely, says Wiktorski, \u201cThe quality of health care will increase dramatically.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith high-speed connections, zero lag time and 8K video capability, a surgeon wearing virtual-reality goggles could \u2018sit\u2019 on the shoulder of a junior surgeon who may be a thousand kilometres away, and hear and speak in real time to guide them through a complicated operation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Critically, the challenging task of providing internet access in a country whose natural beauty is matched only by its vast and difficult geography, which complicates connectivity, will also benefit from the addition of a 5G network. As 5G continues to evolve and become more sophisticated, the acquisition of low-band spectrum \u2014 the invisible highway of airwaves that transmit data \u2014 will ensure Canadians, wherever they are, can reliably connect to their schools, jobs, medical professionals, and loved ones in ways that have previously not been possible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt allows us to go in and deliver high-quality internet to areas that are underserved,\u201d says Wiktorski.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s great <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> for the future of our small and rural communities: families and young people won\u2019t necessarily have to move to the city to thrive in a digital world.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFive or 10 years from now, more workers will have the option to stay in the community they grew up in and still work for large multinational companies,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Anything_is_possible\"><\/span><strong>Anything is possible<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Samsung is at the forefront of the 5G revolution, enabling Canadians to re-envision communication. Earlier this year, the tech giant partnered with TELUS, which has now launched its 5G network in 26 communities across Canada, including Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, and Montreal. By the end of the year, approximately 50 cities and towns will experience the reliability and quality of TELUS\u2019 5G connectivity, with blazing fast speeds up to 1.7 Gbps.<\/p>\n<p>Samsung now offers Canadians an end-to-end 5G experience. In addition to 5G network solutions, Samsung was the first to launch a 5G-capable device and, today, offers 19 in total \u2014 tablets, laptops, and phones, including the Galaxy Fold, which has double the screen size of other options. More innovation is on the horizon to change how we connect within our homes, workplaces, and even cars.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re hiring as many people as we can to make sure we can deliver on our promise to customers. I\u2019m excited about the opportunity to develop and innovate on the 5G network,\u201d says Wiktorski.<\/p>\n<p>Still in its infancy, it\u2019s almost hard to predict all that 5G will offer. The possibilities are near-endless.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith 5G, we\u2019re only at the start,\u201d says Wiktorski. \u201cIt will make our lives even better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more News articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/general\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">General category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macleans.ca\/sponsored\/5g-revolution-stephen-wiktorski-samsung\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Samsung exec on the future of 5G networks&#8221; With the launch of TELUS\u2019 powerful, next-generation network across the country, Stephen Wiktorski, head of networks for Samsung Canada, looks ahead to a world of possibility, and how 5G will change how, when, and where we connect with each other.
