5G The Next Super Fast Level of Internet Speed

As the next generation superfast wireless networks technology, 5G promises to change our lives fundamentally. The network is expected to have much higher speeds and capacity that allows files to be downloaded in the blink of an eye.

Beyond this, 5G will play a significant role in shaping the cities of tomorrow by powering other technologies that will revolutionize communication, enable travel, learning, and innovation. From The Internet of Things to smart homes, self-driving cars, Telemedicine, Virtual and Augmented Reality and everything between, the wide-scale deployment of the 5G network will drive the reinvention of several businesses and consumer applications.

Its impact is expected to be significant, as an IHS Markit report estimates that 5G will boost the global economic output by $12.3 trillion by 2035.

5G and Communication

As the 5G network makes higher transfer speeds and lowers network latency a reality, it will bring about significant improvements in communication. The faster speeds and much greater network efficiency will make communication a breeze, while the significantly lower latency will significantly improve response time.

Because 5G can send and receive signals almost instantaneously, individuals and businesses will have instantaneous communication with co-workers, friends, or clients, and not have to contend with dropped calls and poor connections. 5G will also be able to connect many pieces of devices, from phones, to computers, to security cameras, and several other types of equipment.

Also, the mobile network is expected to offer mobile internet speeds of more than 10 gigabits per second (Gbps), which is about a hundred times faster than the 4G can provide. This will mean a 5G user could download a feature-length movie in High Definition in less than five seconds.

How the 5G Network Will Impact Industry

The Internet of Things World Wide

Outside of communication, 5G is expected to bring about a widespread implementation and adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT). This could greatly improve the interconnection of devices and their ability to collect, transmit and store data, which will have obvious advantages for industries like manufacturing that increasingly rely on the IoT to connect their processes and factories digitally.

An improvement in IoT will bring about direct benefits such as a reduction of operating costs, an increase in productivity and efficiency, as well as enhanced workplace safety. The capacity to collect, monitor and analyze data from social media, video surveillance, mobile and internet usage will also enable businesses to understand consumer behavior better and improve customer service delivery.

The impact of 5G on IoT will mean that work can be completed in time, more efficiently, more flexibly, concurrently, and in a safer and more environmentally friendly manner.
