Walmart, Verizon in talks to offer 5G at health centers

Walmart is in talks with Verizon to equip its health clinics with 5G-network-compatible rooftop antennas. This move would allow for expanded bandwidth, boosting the security of smartphone-based healthcare consultations and enabling remote monitoring of patients’ vitals. Walmart would need to invest in infrastructure, and consumers would require 5G-compatible handsets. The Department of Veterans Affairs has already begun implementing 5G capabilities in a hospital in California, and other healthcare organizations are exploring the potential of 5G in various healthcare applications.
