What is 5G Technology?
The “5G” stands for “fifth generation” cellular communication. 5G is able to operate in the millimeter wave, where the amount of spectrum available for 5G means that data can be transferred much more rapidly than is currently possible. The broad range of technology and infrastructure changes inherent to 5G deployment will create tremendous benefits as well as potential challenges to individual users, businesses, and service providers.
How Fast is 5G?
Operators performing 5G speed trials have reported speeds of up to 70 Gbps. Industry-sponsored simulations have also produced impressive results with data speeds increasing from 71 Mbps for 4G users to 1.4 Gbps for 5G users in the millimeter wave. Accompanying the uptick in speed is the dramatic decrease in latency. This will be an important factor for new technologies such as self-driving cars and “virtual” robotic surgery that rely on instantaneous communication. With 5G, latency in the 1 millisecond range can be expected, whereas latency of around 20 millisecond is typical for 4G.
