The “Tactile Internet” enables the interaction between humans that are far away between each others as if they were near. The tactile internet is meant to be a ultra-low latency communication system that ensures ultra-low communication delay along with high availability, reliability, and security.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Low latency | The tactile internet is designed to provide ultra-low latency (less than 1 millisecond), allowing for real-time interactions. |
| High reliability | The technology is built to be highly reliable, with very high availability, reliability, and security. |
| High network density | It can support a large number of devices within a certain area (high device density), essential for IoT applications. |
| Bi-directional communication | Tactile Internet allows for two-way communication between devices, enabling interactions that are responsive and interactive. |
| Haptic feedback | It supports the transmission of physical sensations or haptic feedback, enabling users to ‘feel’ or ‘touch’ the digital world. |
| High-speed connectivity | It aims to provide high-speed data transmission, supporting services requiring high data rates. |
| Real-time control | Due to low latency, it enables real-time control of remote devices. Essential for critical applications like remote surgeries, industrial automation etc. |
| Integration with AI and IoT | The Tactile Internet is expected to integrate seamlessly with Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things technologies, leveraging their capabilities for better user experience. |
| High mobility | It supports high-speed mobility, which allows it to provide reliable connections even when the user or device is moving at high speed. |
| Energy Efficiency | The network is designed to be energy-efficient, to support a large number of IoT devices which may run on battery power. |
