The Next Wave Of Wireless Communication: 5G
The next big thing is almost here. No like really, it’s being applied in subtle ways we know clearly not of. Watch the video link “THE 5G SCOPE” on the front cover of these series for an intro to 5G in Canada.
This series is dedicated to my fellow Canadians as well as citizens of this planet.
A sweet memo of 5G.
Do you remember those old Nokia phones that you could throw at a wall and they would not even have a single scratch on them? Well, imagine that strength present in wireless communications. Imagine that strength driving your internet pages to download five times faster than before. Depending on the latency of the wifi/Internet connection you use OR the newest cellular data format that you utilize (5G).
This newest cellular data format has download and upload speeds truly exhibit that invisible strength. So, I am here to let you know that the strength exists in different mediums, in this case, it is the next generation of wireless communications known as 5G.
So how does this exciting yet complex system work??? let’s break this down. So we all are aware of the current form of wireless communication which is Fourth-generation (4G) LTE (Long-Term Evolution). 4G LTE is the foundation for 5G to build upon. What makes 5G lucrative is that it does not require power cell towers to radiate signals over long distance. The process is spread out through a substantial amount of small cell stations located in places such as light poles or building roofs.
Why does this new era of wireless communication require SO many small cells? well because 5G relies on a band of spectrum that generates high speeds up to 30 GHz and 300 GHz. This kind of wireless communication can only occur at short distances because it is prone to interference from weather, building obstructions, physical barriers etc.
So I have made clear to you what this so-called 5G Technology is and a small preview into its mass functionality.
So as always I do want to leave my readers with a small gift at the end of each article and please do feel free to comment and interact with the article as such! I hope you learned something new about 5G today and if not stay tuned for the next article in these series.
