It is so exhausting to wait for video to load, and watching the little circle spin and spin. This problem has been solved by the fifth generation of mobile network technology. Due to this, that circle disappear forever. When we click on any video, it starts instantly. And when we video chat with friends, it is crystal clear and does not delay.

Before knowing more about 5G network, we have to look back. Before there was 3G, it bought us a basic internet on our phones or computers. Then 4G network which we use today, we watch videos, stream music, and use apps like Uber today. Now we have 5G network in improved form. 4G network is like two lane road, works well for normal traffic. But 5G is like hundred lane supper highway in which traffic can travel at extremely high speed

 

What make 5G so special?

There are three main thing that make it special. These are:

• Speed
• Latency
• Capacity

First speed, 5G is very much faster, approximately 100x faster than 4G downloading a movie take few seconds in it. While in 4G, one movie download takes about 10 minutes. This means with 5G we can no longer wait for late downloading and buffering.

Second latency, this is the time that delays between when you give command and when it happens. For example: when you click on a link it takes some time to open. This delay time is about 50 milliseconds in 4G. But in 5G it takes only 1 millisecond. This type of fast speed is necessary for self-driving cars. If such cars needs to stop in emergency, then this 1 millisecond delay will be safe to stop to prevent from accident.

Third capacity, it has a large capacity to connect many devices at once without slowing down. If you are at a place where there are a lot of people like a stadium or a crowded concert, your phone will say no service. Why?  Because many phones are connected to it, so network is overloaded. But 5G can connect millions of devices per square kilometre. This will allow for smart cities, where everything is connected.

Advantages of 5G network in many industries                                                                                                                                                             

This fast 5G network will change many industries. In medicine field, doctors can perform complex surgeries using robotic hands with the help of 5G network. In factories, robots can works faster and perform better in the manufacturing of different products. In entertainment, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) will become more smooth and realistic. You can experience many more things while staying at home.

5G network is not perfect yet, it is in process, it requires a lot of towers. It cannot pass through walls as 4G network. Establishing this will take a lot of time and money.

In short, 5G is the fastest network of all the time. It can perform a lot of services in industries. After full establishing of 5G network, the buffering and delay will be the matter of past. It’s not just next step in technology; it is the beginning of connected era.
