The fifth-generation technology of mobile networks is known by the acronym of 5G has grown to become a world-wide phenomenon. With the Internet having become a part and parcel of everyday life and mobile phones ubiquitous, it is natural that technology keeps on evolving and its applications increasing steadily.
In a nutshell, 5G is a wireless communication technology that uses higher frequency bands to transmit data at speeds that are significantly faster than 4G LTE networks.
Advantages of 5G include:
1. High Speed
High speed allows for greater data transfer, download and upload. High quality video streaming and gaming in real time with multiple players is possible.
2. Increased Reliability
Reliability is significantly higher than previous generations of mobile networks. This means lesser call drops and network downtime. Thus, mission critical applications can be run easily.
3. Capacity and Connectivity
5G supports a larger number of connected devices. Since the base technology is robust, there is lesser downtime.
4. Efficiency and Low Cost
Since the efficiency is higher, the overall operational cost is lower. This also helps in achieving sustainability initiatives.
5. Enhanced User Experience
Considering all of the above, there is an increased scope of new applications and user experience is also enhanced.
6. Enhances Security
Security in 5G is significantly higher than in 4G technology. 5G networks use more advanced authentication protocols than 4G networks, which makes it harder for unauthorized devices to gain access to the network. This includes improved mutual authentication between devices and the network, as well as more secure encryption. There is increased privacy because 5G makes use of anonymous network identifiers. This makes it harder for nefarious elements to track and identify devices on the network.
So what are the transformative effects of 5G technology? GRhombustech, with our deep experience in software development in UK, consider the below points:
1. Application in Surgeries and Healthcare
Since 5G networks have the capacity to offer much higher speeds than 4G networks (about 20 to 30 times faster), previously impossible applications like real-time remote surgeries find a possibility now.
2. Smart Cities, Autonomous Vehicles
Since 5G supports a large number of connected devices, heavy load applications with a large number of connected devices can now be made possible. Some scenarios where this occurs includes the concept of smart cities and autonomous vehicles.
Internet of Things (IoT), augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) will all require high speeds and reduced latency, which is what 5G offers. Hence the scope for applications in the above areas also vastly increases.
3. Security
5G offers increased security compared to previous technologies. Thus, there can be more applications for this technology, right from smart homes to industrial applications. 5G networks have more sophisticated network management capabilities than 4G networks. Thus, any security threat can be detected and responded to more quickly. Concepts like network slicing and enhanced authentication are built into the architecture of the network.
4. Innovation and Economic Impact
Since 5G technology facilities higher bandwidth and connections, a large number of industries can innovate by leveraging this technology. Scope for innovation is high because of the fast speed, lower latency and increased reliability in connections compared to previous generations of mobile technology.
This in turn will benefit industries by increasing productivity and achieving greater transparency in operations. It will also have a positive economic impact as consumers will benefit from any overall increase in process efficiency. Many industries like manufacturing, transport, entertainment etc can be revolutionized when this technology finds even greater commercial application.
