At the popular Bao Sheng durian farm, owner Chang Teik Seng, 60, said he was able to collect the King of Fruit easily with the help of 5G technology, which was installed at his farm last year. “It’s crucial for us to identify the fallen fruit as soon as possible,” he said at his orchard here. Teik Seng’s son Zhi Vooi, 27, who helps manage the orchard, said they would get better network coverage by using 5G. “Last year, we set up fishnets to catch the fallen durians, using 5G technology, which notified us of the location of the fallen fruit at the farm,” he said. On the 5G system, Zhi Vooi explained that sensors were placed along each durian tree net, enabling them to detect changes to net tension and weight when a fruit drops.
