ITECH 1100 Digital Innovation: Transforming Waste Management with 5G

This report examines the potential of 5G technology to revolutionize waste management through digital innovation. It discusses the increasing connectivity of devices with the advent of 5G and its applicability in Internet of Things (IoT) for automated waste management services. The report highlights the shift from human-oriented to machine-oriented approaches, emphasizing the role of IoT in automating waste management processes and reducing waste exposure time. It also addresses regulatory and ethical considerations, emphasizing the importance of technology-driven waste management and the potential for future advancements. The report concludes that 5G implementation in waste management is still in its early stages but holds significant promise for improving efficiency and environmental impact.

3DIGITAL INNOVATION
Part 1: Research
Ones the concept of the 5th generation comes into live implementation, it can be stated that
there would be more number of devices which can be connected in this context. It can be
stated that the concept can be applicable in the aspect of the internet of things which can be
related to the concept of the waste management process. In the concept of the 5G there are
combination of many wireless technology for example the 4G and the Wi-Fi technology.
Taking into consideration different types of computation methods for example the functions
of the network virtualization and software defined networking approach which directly
improves the sector of the working which is related to different networked devices. The
concept can be directly linked into the aspect of the waste management with the help of the
internet of things concept.
Part 2: Brainstorming
Point 1: The concept which is applicable in the aspect affecting the industry by means of
automated service which would be more approach oriented sector than human oriented
approach. The main factor which plays a vital role in this context is that implementation of
the technology.
Point 2: The system can be stated to be less human oriented approach with the focus on
machine oriented approach. The connectivity can be considered as one of the most vital
factors in this context. It can be stated here that in the aspect of the 5G it can be stated that it
would be directly reforming the aspects which are related to the concept.
Point 3: The technology which is related to the aspect of waste management can be linked to
the technology of internet of things. It can be stated here that in the concept of the internet of
things the waste management process is very much automatic which would be very much
beneficial for the implementation area.

Point 4: The time which is involved into the concept of waste reduction can be less. This can
be very much beneficial in a way as the exposure of the waste would be very much less
which would be directly affecting the environment. In most of the situation it can be seen that
the concept of the waste management is very much vital in the aspect of the determination of
the environment and the affect it has on the environment.
Part 3: Regulation and Ethics
Point 1: The involvement of the concept of the internet of things can be considered to
one of the major technical aspects which are related to the concept. It can be stated here that
the concept of the internet of things can be applied to many areas which would be directly
helping the aspect of waste management more technology oriented.
Point 2: The concept of the 5G can be directly implemented within the concept of the
internet of things (Czuma, Zarębska and Baran 2016). The application phase and the
implementation phase can be very much advantageous. The interaction with the concept can
be one of the most important sectors in the field. Most of the devices in the process of have to
interact in proper way to define a proper framework which is related to the aspect of the
achieving the desired goal of the process. It can be stated that in the near future the 5G
concept would be delivering different aspects of the technology and it can be implemented in
more than one sector and direct gain of the advantage can be achieved from the concept
(Chen et al. 2017).
Point 3: The concept which is related to the 5G is a very new approach. It can be
stated here that the approach which is related to 5G is in the phase of development. Linking
the concept of the 5G to waste management it is can be considered as a field of research
which in the near future would be playing a very dominating role (Cerchecci et al. 2018. As

stated by most of the researchers that the concept which is related to the 5G implementation
in the waste management in the near future would be more widely adopted concept.
Point 4: Since the concept is technology oriented it can be stated that in the years to
come technology would also be advancing and the concept which is applicable in this would
be reaching a stage were the implementation would be directly for the people and the people
would be able to achieve higher standard of functionality.
Part 4: Disruption
It can be stated here that the concept which is related to the 5G implementation in the
aspect of waste management would be playing a very dominating role in the near future. It
can be stated here that every technology has its own form of advancement and relating it to
the 5G concept it can be stated that the technology is still in the aspect of innovation. In the
next few years it can be stated that the technology would be gathering some pace which
would be impacting different sectors which are related to the life of the common people as
well as the sector which is related to the waste management prospective (Czuma, Zarębska
and Baran, 2016).
