What is 5G? How fast will this 5G Network !!

HIGHLIGHTS: The 5G can be seen as an industry standard that is going to come out ahead of the currently running 4G LTE standard. Just like 4G had made its place in place of 3G, it is believed that it is going to come from the fifth generation place named 5G.

We are all seeing that discussions about 5G started from CES 2018. Everyone wants to know how unique and fast this 5G network is going to be. Not only us, many companies like Samsung to Intel and beyond, many cellular carriers and smartphones companies also want to know something similar. It has been given a new name by Samsung which we know as 'Wireless Fiber'. 

The company claims that it will be able to provide super fast low intensity internet at all locations. It is also believed that 5G is generally going to be faster than a home cable internet. Apart from this, it will also be wireless. Now you can think how effective it is going to be. Today we want to think about this and are going to tell you what 5G is and how fast it is going to be.

WHAT IS 5G?

The 5G can be seen as an industry standard that is going to come out ahead of the currently running 4G LTE standard. Just like 4G had made its place in place of 3G, it is believed that it is going to come from the fifth generation place named 5G. This means that this is the fifth standard of this standard.

It is currently built to run faster than currently running 4G LTE technology. However, it is not only seen to increase the speed of internet in smartphones. But it is believed that with this the Faster Wireless Internet can be made accessible to everyone everywhere. Cars can be connected through this. You can easily do this with smartphones. It can also be said that in future you will have other cellular connectivity devices with your smartphone. All of them are going to use 5G in place of 4G LTE technology in the same way as we are using 4G today.

HOW FAST IS THE 5G NETWORK GOING TO BE?

Tech companies are quite promising with 5G. While 4G tops the theoretical 100 megabits per second (Mbps), though in the case of 5G, it is going to be the top 10 gigabits per second (GPS). This means that 5G is going to be a hundred times faster than the current 4G technology. For example, a report by the Consumer Technology Association has also revealed that at this speed, you can download a two-hour movie in just 3.6 seconds on 5G, 6 minutes on 4G versus 26 hours on 3G.

This is not just a matter of fact, 5G promises to reduce latency, meaning faster load times and better accountability are built while doing anything on the Internet. In particular, the specification today promises a maximum latency of 4ms on 5G vs. 20ms on 4G LTE.

At this speed, the 5G is seen on the current home cable internet connection and is more comparable to fiber. Landline Internet companies such as Comcast, Cox and others may face severe competition - especially when they are the only option for rapid home Internet in a certain area. Wireless carriers can provide an option in every home without laying physical wires.

Everyone wants 5G to be thought of as enabling super-fast, practically unlimited internet everywhere and on all devices. Of course, in the real world, Internet service providers charge a data cap. For example, even if your wireless carrier has given you a 100 GB data cap - which is much larger than most plans today - you can fly at a maximum theoretical speed of 10 Gbps in one minute and 20 seconds. It is unclear which carrier carriers will eventually impose and how much will affect usage.

HOW DOES A 5G NETWORK WORK?

5G also uses them by leveraging a lot of technology to achieve faster speeds. However, it is not just about innovation etc. IEEE Spectrum magazine does a great job of explaining a lot of technical details in more depth, but here we are going to explain it to you easily.

The new standard will use a whole new band of radio spectrum from 4G. The 5G would take advantage of the "millimeter waves", which were transmitted between the 30GHz and 300GHz versus bands in bands below 6GHz, which were used in the past. These were previously used only for communication between satellites and radar systems. But millimeter waves cannot easily travel through buildings or other concrete objects, so 5Gs will also take advantage of "small cells" - small miniature-based stations that can be placed up to about 250 meters across urban areas. These will provide much better coverage in such locations.

These base stations also use "MIMO extensively". MIMO stands for "Multiple-Input Multiple-Output." You can also have a home wireless router with MIMO technology, which means that it has multiple antennas that it can use to talk across multiple different wireless devices without switching between them. is. Large-scale MIMO will use dozens of antennas at a base station. They will also take advantage of beamforming to better direct those signals, direct wireless signals to beams that point into the device, and reduce interference to other devices.

5G base stations will also run at full duplex, meaning they can transmit and receive at the same time at the same frequency. Today, they have to switch between communication and listening methods, slowing things down. This is a snapshot of some of the technology being incorporated to make 5G so fast.

WHEN WILL 5G COME INTO EXISTENCE?

Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint have all introduced 5G in parts of the USA. For example, T-Mobile has designed a nationwide network, although it is using low-band spectrum that is not as fast as the fast millimeter wave technology. AT&T has also launched 5G in some cities. 

The network doesn't matter much at the moment, however, as most smartphones include the latest iPhones - which don't support 5G. We still advise against buying current 5G phones. Both network and phone hardware require more development time. We are seeing that in some countries it is going to come by the end of 2020. However, if we talk about India, it may still take some time for 5G to come here. It is believed that it may still take another 2 years to arrive in India.
