What is 5G technology ?

Everybody loves speedy internet, so it’s no surprise that every major telecom in the world is working to make it even faster. Smartphones, watches, homes, and cars are increasingly requiring stable internet connections. In order to pipe in enough bandwidth for that precious wireless feed, we’re going to need an entirely new form of wireless signal—that’s where 5G comes in. The “G” in 5G stands for “generation.” Wireless phone technology technically started with 1G, and in the early 1990s, and it expanded to 2G when companies first started enabling people to send text messages between two cellular devices.

5G is one of the most discussed technologies in this decade. 5G networks will offer scalable and adaptable services, it promises a smarter, faster and efficient network. This new system expected to be launched in early 2020s. 5G networks have been designed for a smart world such as smart cities, smart healthcare, transportation and most important idea of IOT. In order to handle higher network demands, the network must be smart, efficient and cost effective. It should support mobility, better coverage, power efficiency, reliability and most importantly security.

There’s a lot going into future 5G technologies and although it’s an unfinalized and evolving technology at this point, many of the ingredients are already built into today’s smartphones and other gadgets. Although carriers will no doubt celebrate firing up their first 5G networks, in reality we’re looking at a gradual evolution through the rollout of LTE-Advanced and Advanced-Pro, which will mean that many of us will already be using some next-generation wireless features by the time the carriers flip their 5G switches.
