Abstract

This article explores the transformative potential of 5G networks in enabling advanced distributed systems across multiple domains. By combining ultra-low latency, high bandwidth, and massive connection density capabilities, 5G technology overcomes traditional network limitations that have constrained distributed computing applications. The article examines three high-impact application areas where 5G capabilities are particularly beneficial: augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR), autonomous vehicle communication systems, and smart manufacturing environments. Through article architectural frameworks, performance metrics, and real-world implementations, the article demonstrates how 5G networks fundamentally alter system design approaches while addressing security, reliability, and resource optimization challenges. The article reveals that 5G-enabled distributed systems represent not merely an incremental improvement but a paradigm shift that enables new categories of applications previously infeasible with earlier network technologies.
