While high-speed 5G networks are accelerating tech operations in India and around the world, the current telecom ecosystem is still unprepared to support Metaverse technology, which can be very demanding, according to Abhinav Purohit, the chief expert on Business and strategy consulting for Huawei in the Middle East. China-based Huawei is a telecoms equipment maker working to fine-tune 5G internet networks to realize their full potential. The Metaverse “is a collective virtual shared space created by the convergence of virtually-enhanced physical and digital reality,” according to Purohit.
Immersive high-end technologies like Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) form important building blocks for the metaverse . For the technology to be successful as a fully functioning virtual universe, it must be supported by high-speed internet. According to Purohit, only 25 percent of the world’s population will have access to it 5G until 2025.
“For the Metaverse to be successful, latency needs to be improved and faster connection speeds are needed. The network bandwidth needs to be increased. The delays, packet loss and network unreliability seen in today’s 4G world make the current state of the infrastructure unsuitable for building a desired Metaverse experience. 5G will be the answer here”. official post said by the official Huawei.
The market opportunity for the Metaverse could reach US$800 billion (around Rs.59,58,700) in the next two years, according to research reports recommend estimate.
earlier this month, That’s what Nvidia claimed that the automotive industry will soon begin to add a metaverse aspect to its retail and industrial operations. With Metaverse, automotive stakeholders aim to increase the level of oversight of the vehicle production process. This would allow changes and modifications to be implemented before it is too late.
“The Metaverse will allow geographically distant participants to have realistic, spatially aware experiences. Delivering such an experience requires innovation in areas such as hybrid local and remote real-time rendering, video compression, edge computing and cross-layer visibility, as well as spectrum advocacy, working on the metaverse readiness of future connectivity and cellular standards,” Purohit explains.
Latency, symmetrical bandwidth and Quality of Experience (QoS) are three parameters that 5G or 6G internet must support for the Metaverse to reach its full potential, he added.
