Understanding 5G Technology and Its Features
- 5G is the latest cellular technology designed to increase the speed and responsiveness of wireless networks.
- Data transmission speeds over 5G can reach up to 20 Gbps, with potential peak speeds higher than that.
- 5G networks will be deployed in stages over the next few years to accommodate increasing reliance on mobile and internet-enabled devices.
- 5G uses small cell stations located in places like light poles or building roofs, rather than large cell towers, due to the millimeter wave spectrum's limitations.
- 5G uses a combination of high-, medium-, and low-band frequencies to provide blanketed coverage while offering the fastest speeds in highly trafficked areas.
- 5G download speeds can reach upwards of 1,000 Mbps, or even up to 2.1 Gbps, and low-band 5G download speeds may be up to 30-250 Mbps.
- Wireless network operators in the US, Japan, South Korea, and China are driving the first 5G buildouts, with billions of dollars expected to be spent on 5G capital expenses through 2030.
- 5G will offer network management features like network slicing, enabling mobile operators to create multiple virtual networks within a single physical 5G network.
- 5G use cases range from streaming high-quality video to communication among devices in an IoT environment, to low-latency communication and better real-time analytics.
- Major carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint are working on building up their 5G networks, with Verizon focusing on implementing mmWave 5G.
- 5G standards bodies are working on universal 5G equipment standards, with 5G-compliant smartphones and associated wireless devices commercially available in 2019.
- 5G use cases will begin to emerge between 2020 and 2025, with 5G services expected to become mainstream and range from delivering VR content to autonomous vehicle navigation.
