Points for 5G Technology

What does 5G mean? Simply put, 5G is for “the 5th generation.” You may also see the standard called 5G-NR (the NR stands for “new radio”).

When today’s 4G playing the main role around the world for many years, people welcomed a new era of rich media mobile browsing. Representing both an evolution of the 4G standard and a revolution in radio technology, 5G technology promises to transform the 2020s into a time of unprecedented connectivity and technological advancement. With higher capacity and speed, plus ultralow latency, 5G will power innovation that would have been impossible under the 4G LTE standard.

How Does 5G work?

All four previous generations of mobile networks used macro cell towers, hundreds of feet tall, requiring vast power outlays to transmit over long distances.

5G works a bit differently. This upgraded mobile network uses a combination of frequencies from multiple bands to maximize throughput. In addition to traditional macro cell towers, 5G will also use a large number of much smaller micro cells for new millimeter wave spectrum bands to create a blanket of ultrahigh-speed network coverage.

How Fast is 5G?

No any doubts 5G will have times speed than 4G. 5G Routers will provides a much fast data UL/DL for all M2M&IoT devices.

The conversion to 5G technology and the accompanying breakthrough in speed might seem a bit like going from covered wagon to transcontinental airliner in one swift step.

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 (ms) range can be expected, whereas latency of around 20 ms is typical for 4G.

What is the Availability of 5G?

At today’s early stages of the 5G rollout, deployments are limited in scope and their locations determined by individual carriers. In the United States, all four major wireless communications service providers have early 5G deployments in multiple cities. While most rollouts have involved mobile devices, some have been fixed wireless only—that is, 5G that works for a fixed point, like home internet access. Outside the US, providers have begun deploying 5G in countries including China, South Korea, Germany, and Switzerland.

While select locations have some 5G coverage, today’s deployments are just the prelude to citywide rollouts. Industry analysts indicate that mass deployment of 5G, on a scale that brings it to a broad user base of both consumers and businesses, is likely to start around 2021.

The future of 5G will depend not only on carrier rollouts but also device availability. From cell phones to smart city sensors, broader availability of devices developed with 5G in mind are expected to be launched in 2020 or 2021, with an onslaught of 5G-enabled experiences beginning in 2022 as new products are created to meet the demands emerging from 5G technology.

What is the typical 5G Products and Solutions?

5G network surely will be used in many fields, making kinds of product and solutions which based on 5g network. Especially for M2M&IoT, it will mostly upgrade to 5G devices and 5G network. At the beginning, 5G’s cost will be much higher than 4G, but in future, 5G’s cost will come to a normal cost level, till then 5G will be used more and more widely around the world. What we can confirm is that 5G will quickly become the main mobile network standard when everything is ready.
