Despite President Donald Trump's campaign to stop the world from using 5G technology provided by Huawei, cows in Taenikon, a bucolic Swiss hamlet, wear 5G-enabled neck-straps instead of the usual flat bells.
This is part of a joint project between Huawei and Sunrise Communications Group AG. According to Alexander Lehrmann, chief of new business development for Sunrise, the device can be compared to Fitbit for cows. The connected neck-straps can give farmers timely updates on the health of cows anytime, anywhere.
The test farm in question also has surveillance cameras to better control the animals when they eat, sleep, or stroll. All of the information on their overall health, milk production, and other vital data on the well-being of cows are transmitted directly at a speed 100 times faster than usual and processed in real-time, courtesy of Huawei’s 5G network.
This test is to see how the technology works in remote areas. The information gathered during the test can help Sunrise and Huawei enhance their factory output and better apply 5G in health care and hospitals.
While the U.S and some European countries have concerns over Huawei as a provider of the 5G network, Switzerland still puts its trust on the Chinese company.
In an interview, Andre Krause, CEO of Sunrise said that The Swiss government has done an evaluation of Huawei and concluded that there was no risk involved in this endeavor. However, he did say that Huawei’s reputation might affect them at some stages of the collaborations.
So far, Huawei is mostly involved with the deployment of 5G for the private sector, which draws less attention. Switzerland is the first country in Europe to embrace 5G for individual use amid concerns of health and environmental activists over antenna emissions.
