Introduction: This article focuses on analyzing “The 5G Race: Is Colombia Lagging Behind in Implementation and Information Security?”, through a literature review developed at the Universidad Distrital in 2023. Problem: Despite successful pilot schemes, Colombia has not achieved large-scale 5G deployments like other nations. The following problematic question arises: How is Colombia faring in implementing successful 5G cases compared to other countries in terms of regulatory and information security aspects? Objective: To compile up-to-date literature on the progress of 5G worldwide and contrast it with Colombia, to determine regulatory, pilot and security challenges. Methodology: A search was conducted in academic and government databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, IEEE Xplore, SpringerLink, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar, focusing on identifying reports, case studies and articles on the current state of 5G worldwide and in Colombia. The keywords used in the search were: “5G”, “5G regulation”, “5G information security”, “Colombia”, “availability” among other related words. Results: The comparative analysis allows us to identify gaps and challenges in Colombia for a comprehensive implementation of 5G. Conclusion: The review suggests that Colombia is lagging behind in the adoption of 5G. Regulatory, infrastructure investment, and cybersecurity challenges remain. Originality: This article provides an up-to-date comparative analysis between the state of adoption of 5G technology globally and in Colombia. Limitations: Focuses on success stories and regulatory, safety and pilot aspects.

Introduction: This research article introduces an early warning system for rain-induced mass movement for the district of Ciudad Bolívar, in Bogotá, Colombia, developed at the Universidad Distrital Francisco José de Caldas in 2018. Methods: A sensor network was developed by means of a base station, which is responsible for issuing a warning if there is a risk of landslide. Results: The data provided by the sensor network, such as humidity and temperature, issue warnings to increase the possibility of saving the lives of vulnerable population in the district. Conclusion: This project seeks to save the most important thing a human being has: his life. In addition to raising awareness among individuals of the danger of building houses in places with a high risk of landslides, the aim is to show that through technology we could save lives, warning about naturaldisasters such as landslides. Originality: In this work, a previous soil survey was conducted in Ciudad Bolívar and a warning scale was created for the system, implementing the Risk Management and Climate Change Information System ( sire ) in the district. Limitations: Scarce development of rain-induced landslide warning systems in Colombia.
