        The arrival of 5G recasts surveillance as a truly instantaneous enterprise: ultra-low latency curbs jitter, while higher throughput preserves definition in live feeds. When seconds matter, dispatchers act on crisper, current imagery rather than belated footage. Because endpoints can be authenticated and updated remotely, even legacy cameras are folded into wider patrols. As networks scale, data moves not only faster but also more predictably, so operators coordinate responses across sites, and routine incidents are processed automatically instead of queuing for human review.

        In dense estates, the promise of 5G is seamless interoperability: sensors, alarms, drones, and doors converse across one fabric rather than sputtering in silos. If disparate systems are braided into a single pane of control, situational awareness becomes broader and automation more deliberate. Integration also introduces exposure – massively connected estates invite volumetric attacks like DDoS – yet resilient design and throttling can attenuate those shocks. When maintenance is orchestrated centrally, upgrades ripple out quietly, so field teams spend less time firefighting and more time auditing risk.

        What accelerates most is inference. Edge models triage streams, while cloud pipelines compare scenes citywide. Instead of pinging guards with every twitch, AI demotes spurious triggers and promotes anomalies that cohere across feeds. These analytics arrive ubiquitous and near-real-time, so patrols shift from reactive rounds to preventative sweeps. Because bandwidth is ample, “heavy” classifiers no longer choke links, and dashboards surface patterns – suspicious clustering, tailgating, unbadged lingerers – before a breach metastasizes. In short, machines shoulder drudgery; humans arbitrate consequences.

        Mobility is the hinge. Drones map perimeters, wearables stream body-cam views and vitals, and they hand off feeds to control rooms without stutter. When a fire alarm trips, cameras pivot; medics, police, and facility teams co-view the same telemetry. Where coverage once fractured indoors or in crowds, 5G stitches paths so escorts, evacuations, and cordons are choreographed in one channel. The net effect is faster, more coordinated interventions – provided privacy is respected and cybersecurity stays vigilant.

Question 23. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in paragraph 1 as an immediate advantage of 5G?

A. lower latency that sharpens live video                B. faster, more predictable data movement

C. guaranteed privacy by default settings                D. remote onboarding of legacy cameras

Question 24. The word seamless in paragraph 2 can be best replaced by ______?

A. frictionless                B. ceremonial                        C. precarious                        D. belated

Question 25. The word ubiquitous in paragraph 3 is OPPOSITE in meaning to ______.

A. scarce                B. portable                        C. compliant                        D. elastic

Question 26. The word they in paragraph 4 refers to ______.

A. drones and wearables                                B. medics and police

C. control rooms                                        D. fire alarms

Question 27. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 2?

A. Integrating diverse systems into unified oversight enhances awareness breadth while enabling more intentional automated responses.

B. Consolidating disparate platforms under centralized control amplifies situational intelligence and refines automation precision.

C. When heterogeneous systems converge into a single interface, awareness deepens and automation becomes more strategic.

D. When varied systems feed one dashboard, awareness expands and automation proceeds with clearer intent and governance.

Question 28. Which of the following is TRUE according to paragraph 2?

A. Broader connectivity raises DDoS exposure, yet careful network design can blunt volumetric disruptions effectively.

B. Integration eliminates cyber risk entirely because single-pane consoles simplify every administrative procedure immediately.

C. Field technicians prefer ad-hoc updates since centrally orchestrated maintenance usually complicates site operations badly.

D. Dense estates should avoid automation because interoperability typically fragments oversight and overwhelms operators.
