And there is no
shortage of Hype
associated with it

So what do
Analysts think
about ‘Remote
Surgery’?

8. ©3G4G
Benedict Evans: The over-hype of
5G with totally absurd use cases
(‘remote surgery! Autonomous
cars! VR!’) tends to confuse the
‘should we use Huawei 5G
equipment?’ argument. It matters
because mobile is important
infrastructure, not because 5G
changes the world.

Dean Bubley: “I need a doctor in
the room & a driver in the car, to be
happy” - @O2 CTO seems risk-
averse despite #5G #URLLC hype
about remote surgery &
#AutonomousVehicles ...

Peter Jarich: "if I'm undergoing
remote surgery, I want fibre. I
wouldn't lie there waiting for 5G..."

Who disagrees?

Ed Gubbins: Who's volunteering to
participate in @ericsson's
upcoming demonstration of #5G
remote surgery?

Dr. Dan Warren: You may have
seen me talk about remote surgery,
but... if you take all the delay
budget for intervening distance and
equipment into account, the
surgeon can be no more than 2km
from the patient. If it was me, I'd
pay for his taxi.

But you can also
have ‘Remotely
Guided Surgeries’
and check-ups

‘Remote Surgery’ is more of
a fiction than fact right now
but ‘Remotely Guided
Surgeries’ may become
commonplace in future
