Similarly, satellite imagery helps in getting access to very high resolution images of any location and have a clear understanding of that particular region/area. Since these images are just 2D, adding various other layers of information such as sensor data from vehicle on top of these satellite images helps us in building highly optimized and smart road networks. However, it is important to have specific set of industry standards and application programming interface (APIs) which will help to integrate this information seamlessly in such a way that maximum benefits can be derived from it.Impact of IoT & 5G on Location Intelligence5G has enabled hassle-free connectivity between various devices and made it possible for a larger number of devices to communicate with each other. The data that is then generated through those communications can be used to overlay it on location intelligence information to derive meaningful insights. For instance, data can be gathered from connected cars that are 5G equipped about any hazards on the roads, vehicle breakdowns, accidents en-route and many others, which will help the drivers immensely in properly planning their travel routes. Additionally, IoT devices that are integrated along with the vehicles provide real-time information regarding the vehicle's movement, which has a huge scope especially in niche use cases such as public transport and logistics. Furthermore, 5G enabled electric cars can also get quick information regarding the nearest charging stations, thus enabling EV owners to plan their commute smartly, especially when traveling long distances. Overall, 5G has broadened the spectrum of connectivity among various Internet of Things (IoT) devices, acting as the primary neural link for gathering data and utilizing the derived insights in an intelligent way. Location intelligence is acting as a key enabler for efficient urban planning, especially in terms of traffic management and infrastructure development
