We may have been aware of the generations of mobile communication from the 1G (1st generation network, also called "Nordic" Mobile Telephone) to 2G, 3G and 4G which we are very familiar with. But a new generation has arrived in the world of cellular communications, and this is called the 5G (5th generation) mobile network.
As proposed, the 5G cellular network will basically be a wireless network. So you won't be wrong to call it "5G wi-fi". This will be a step further from the current 4G, and it is meant to operate in the milimeter wave bands [60, 38, and 28 GHz] according to the standards of IEEE 802.11ac.
There are some standardized requirements that must be followed by the 5G cellular network. These include:
With the advances in the world of ICT, like the "Internet of thing", 5G is one of the indispensible options to fully actualize it.
Since the proposition of the 5G network, a lot of researches have been carried out to enhance and advance its development. Some of these researches include:
Advantages of 5G network, and how it will change the world
No doubt, the global race has already begun and we are approaching the era where exabytes of data will be processed on per second basis throughout the world. And for this reason, a marching network tech is indispensible. That is what 5G cellular network has come to do.
Have you ever thought about downloading a 1Gb file in just 1second? Now this sounds weird, but I welcome you to the future of ICT, where everything is possible.
Here's what one of the lead researchers on 5G network; Professor Rahim Tafazolli has to say:
5G cellular network will be a dramatic harmonization and total overhaul of the radio spectrum - Professor Rahim Tafazolli
Here are some of the current and potential applications of this emerging technology:
Technology can only get better.
Tech Rules!!
