What is 5G?
1. 5G is the fifth generation wireless technology for cellular networks.
2. 5G is a software defined network, so there is no need for replace cables entirely.
3. It is largely operating on the cloud instead of cables.
4. It is 100 times better capacity than 4G and increased speed.
Example:
If you download a two-hour film in 3G, it'll take 26 hours, In 4G - 6 minutes , In 5G - 3.6 Sec only. The 4G network response to our command in 50 milliseconds. In 5G it'll respond in 1 millisecond - its 400 times faster then a blink of the eye.
Detail:
The smartphone users will enjoy a more streamlined experience but for a world that is increasingly dependent on the internet just to function, a reduction in time delay is critical.
Self driving cars, for example, requires a continues stream of data. The quicker that information is delivered to autonomous vehicles, the better and safer they can run.
So far 5G is available in USA, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, UK, IRELAND, EUROPE, ASIA, AFRICA.
In India it is expected to launch in 2021, Jio is confirmed that they are working in 5G testing , so we have to wait for their announcement.
Features of 5G Technology:
Speed:
Predicted speeds of up to 10 Gbps represent up to a 100x increase compared to 4G.
Low Latency:
Latency measures how long a signal takes to go from its source to its receiver, new 5G network will have even lower latency than 4G LTE.
Enhanced Capacity:
The 5G technology e involving thousands of sensors on hundreds of different machines automating supply chain management processes, ensuring just in time delivery of materials while using predictive maintenance of minimize work stoppages.
Almost it can be used in smart homes and cities will also take a giant leap forward in the future of 5G, using more connected devices than ever, AI will be taken to places it has never been before with edge computing from houses that give personalized to energy saving suggestions that maximize environmental impact to traffic lights that changed their patterns based on traffic flow, 5G applications relying on added network capacity will impact nearly everyone.
Increased Bandwidth:
5G networks are architected differently from 4G networks, allowing greater optimization of network traffic and smooth handling of usage spikes.
Conclusion:
The real fact about 5G, it will reach its full potential in 2025, but until we can use it in our smartphone and computers with the limited features available right now.
Yes good question, now it's below the performance of 4G ,after reach out it's full potential I'll add those in another article for sure
It seem's like a good flow of reading...but what about the radiational issues !! If it gives any impact to nature ??
