Standard mobile Internet connections like 5G have substantially reduced latency than 4G technology, which is their key benefit over one other. This translates into a significantly shorter amount of time needed to transfer order from the transmitting device to the receiving device: 10 times as fast as 4G is 5G.
So how will 5G make our lives better?
benefits of 5G for consumers at home
As smartphone users, we will observe the following when we connect to a 5G network:
- The content will virtually instantly download, allowing us to download entire movies and television shows in a matter of seconds.
- increased speed when streaming and watching videos.
- updating application data in real-time.
- improved synchronization with additional devices and wearables (smartwatches and speakers, programmable appliances, etc.)
5G's technological and commercial advantages
A number of technological developments, including:
- management of large machinery automation.
- the advancement of autonomous vehicles.
- doing medical procedures remotely.
Yes, 5G, but when?
In accordance with Gartner's definition of the hype cycle, which tracks changes in public expectations of new technologies, 5G is currently at the top of the cycle. In an effort to capture some of the 10 million early adopters who will be using 5G globally by the end of 2019, mobile manufacturers like Samsung, Huawei, and Xiaomi have already released the first mobile terminals on the market. Gartner has defined a hype cycle for the development of expectations sparked by emerging technologies.
35 percent of all mobile traffic will be carried by 5G networks.
45 percent of the world's population will be covered by 5G.
This technology will be used by 1.9 billion mobile devices.
