Understanding 5G: Features, Advantages, and Origin

The Impact of 5G Technology

1. Enhanced broadband connectivity.
2. Revolutionizing autonomous vehicles with faster communication.
3. Improving public infrastructure and safety through efficient city functioning, advanced surveillance, and timely notifications on public works.
4. Enabling remote control of heavy machinery, reducing risks in hazardous environments.

A Closer Look at 5G

5G is the next generation in mobile broadband and will eventually replace the current 4G LTE connections.

1. Significantly faster download and upload speeds.
2. Drastically reduced latency (the time taken by wireless devices to communicate with a wireless network).

5G operates on three distinct spectrum bands:

1. Low-band spectrum – Offers excellent coverage area and building penetration, but lower speed.
2. Mid-band spectrum – Provides faster speed and lower latency, but less building penetration than the low-band spectrum.
3. High-band spectrum – Offers the highest speed, but compromised coverage area and building penetration.
