5G. Let’s Begin Shall We?
This is just the beginning. The Basics.
What do I even mean by “the basics”? this means the starter kit to 5G.
5G means is the next-generation standard for wireless communication and will take over the cellular technology industry for years to come. This new generation of wireless communication delivers heightened volume, lower latency, and faster speeds.
5G exceeds current network speeds by a very big margin. What this information translates to in broader terms is a higher amount of data transmitted over wireless systems due to more available bandwidth and advanced antenna technology
Sound’s cool right? well, let me tell you something that’ll shock you about how 5G works, Travel rates as high as 10 GBPS (Gigabytes Per Second) by some estimates — exceeding wireless network speeds. The amount of data that is transmitted over wireless systems will increase due to advanced antenna technology as well.
You may be thinking that this is only related to your mobile phone and that is where the service capacity ends, however, we must understand that 5G is more than that. The newest form of wireless communication will also produce management features such as network slicing, which allows mobile operators to create multiple virtual networks within a single physical 5G network. This is useful for business cases to deploy 5G as a service on a need basis. We all have heard of cars that will drive themselves but did you ever think about the medium through which autonomous vehicles would be driven? an example of this can be a self-driving car using 5G networks to offer low-latency connections so a vehicle could navigate in real time and this is why deployment of 5G equipment across routes will be very important. Not only does 5G have commercial applications it also has home applications. For example, a home appliance that is connected to a lower and slower connection because it does not require high-performance internet can be operated with an app on your phone as 5G networks cater to that as well.
What is so different from 5G and the previous versions of Wireless Technologies? Well, lower-frequency bands of spectrum. I know, Its confusing, but in short it means that there are lesser amounts of data transmitted over networks and thus lower loading speeds with older versions of wireless networks.
The only barrier to 5G that can possibly be seen is the problem of millimeter waves. Millimeter waves are the frequency at which wireless technology is transmitted over and in the past, all 4G and 3G networks have utilized that and in doing so can manifest transmission of data over long distances. 5G, however, has a higher data emission and thus can be transmitted over short distances.
Not to fear though, such a barrier is already being resolved as we speak. LTE Advanced Pro is the foundation for 5G and it is going to partner with 5G based high-frequency waves to provide coverage. This is called spectrum sharing across different frequencies of wireless communication. LTE advanced pro is another name for 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project).
Companies such as Rogers in Canada have already tested this form of technology out in the public however they have not yet made it commercially available yet. 5G is available at military level application due to its high utility use however it is meant to become publicly available in 2019. Be on the lookout for that.
As you all know I am fond of leaving treats at the end of all my articles. I just cannot leave my viewers without something to work on or think about. So story time, there are tests on the 5G application being done via DRONES. Now keep in mind drones are used to carry 5G equipment to required areas for a reason. That reason I shall unveil in the next article but for now enjoy this business idea that you could put into place. Contact me personally for any business advice, I would love to help you guide you further resources as per request. My contact is present in the caption below.
