simultaneous wide area measurement, and real-time measurement analysis, along with enhancing the integrity of
measurements. However, it is important for us to be cautious
with the issues inherited from IoT in the measurement process especially due to the network latencies, unsynchronized
clocks, and undetected faulty sensors. 5G, the fifth-generation cellular network technology, may be a good solution, but
for now we need to be aware that there are caveats when IoT is
part of a measurement system.
