A mobile 5G-enabled system could allow us to send raw, high-resolution photos from a camera to the cloud nearly instantaneously.

When New York Times photographer Doug Mills covered the State of the Union address in February of this year, he took 1,000 photos in under an hour. On the whole, Times photographers will capture anywhere between hundreds and thousands of photos for a given event. Taking tons of photos is part of the job: sometimes photographers need to shoot a lot to get that one perfect image. But once the event is over, getting those photos from the field to The Times newsroom is tedious and time consuming — two things journalists like to avoid during live news situations.
