What is 5G Network?
5G is the upgraded technology that represents the advanced version of wireless communication by connecting devices, machines, and people. 5G offers higher multi-Gbps data along with massive bandwidth and network capacity. Also, it gives ultra-low latency with better availability and more reliability in comparison to any other mobile network.
This improvised technology allows a more uniform user experience in addition to the emergence of new services or applications or experiences. 5G gives worldwide connectivity at the fastest speed.
With the help of 5G, things like AI, IoT, smart buildings, self-driving cars, automated factories, AR/VR experiences, telesurgery, etc. all are being made possible.
Benefits of 5G Network
Now that we learned what 5G is, let’s count the benefits of having it in real life.
Speed Upgrades
Every time the network has been upgraded it has shown a rapid increase in speed and connectivity. Similarly, 5G has been equipped with breakneck speed which will give you high-end connectivity and a smooth user experience.
In reality, 5G speed will bring exciting possibilities for consumers like transferring a high-resolution movie at peak download speeds.
Also, it is expected that after 5G rolls out in full swing, consumers and businesses may take 5G as a better alternative for fast broadband connections.
Low Latency
With latency we mean the time taken by a signal to go from its source to its receive and vice versa. Every time an advanced version of a network is designed this is one major criterion considered. One major benefit of 5G is to lower latency.
It is expected that latency in the 5G network will be faster than human visual processing. This higher speed of signal transfer will make it possible to control devices remotely in real-time.
It is said that sectors like agriculture, manufacturing, and logistics will benefit from lower latency. While gamers will also enjoy the lower latency rate as the combination of high speed and minimal lag will give them better chances for virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) applications.
Increased Bandwidth
With the use of 5G the latency rate will reduce hence the data transmission rate will increase in comparison to 4G which will give users an amazing user experience.
From a business point of view, the usage of 5G will bring rapid connectivity and big data analytics, which in combination can turn large numbers of data into something more knowledge.
How much Faster is 5G Network than 4G Network?
As being termed as the fastest network it is said that 5G will give a speed of 10 gigabits per second. This means that it will be around 100 times faster than 4G. The 5G networks are supposed to deliver the level of performance which is required for a connected society.
For example, if we download a movie using 4G network it might take 90 minutes but if we use 5G it will only take 9 minutes, which is really time-saving. However, connectivity requirements may vary depending on the network being used.
What prices for data plans can we expect once 5G Network hits India?
The 5G has not yet launched in India but still, it is easily hogging the limelight and the major concern amongst the users is about its price? Yes, users are anticipating the charges of the upcoming advanced network. Though nothing is certain there are a few speculations saying that as the service providers are charging extra charges of about 10% for 5g it might make a hole in the pocket of users when launched in India.
However, few market researchers are claiming that it might not have high prices when launched in India as it will not attract users and also might fail in India if not launched in a budget package.
In short, we can say that nothing is clear at the end of 5G besides that it will be a game-changer in society.
FAQs
When 5G network will launch in India?
According to reports if all goes by the plan then Indians can enjoy 5G by 2022. taking a view of the plan of the telecom companies by the second quarter of 2022 5G might roll out in major cities of India.
Who Launch 5G in India first?
If reports are said to be true then Bharti Airtel has said that the first 5G network will be launched within two-quarters of the spectrum auction. It also said that the network will cover a large part of the country.
Why is 5G not available in India?
As India is still under the testing stage of the 5G network, we are still behind in enjoying the high-end network. Also, we don’t have the proper infrastructure to support this extensive and faster network.
Does the iPhone 12 have 5G?
Not to worry as iPhone 12 and 13 models are compatible with the 5G mobile networks but only with certain network providers.
Can 5G work on 4G phones?
Unfortunately no. You must have a 5G compatible phone to access this advanced network.
Do we really need 5G?
Though we have mentioned the benefit of 5G still we can give you some more simplified reasons to use this network. For instance, with 5G you can transfer data faster than 4G. in comparison to 4G, 5G has a higher capacity. Not to forget the lower latency rate.
Which country has 7G network?
Norway is the country having 7G and 8G too.
Does Pakistan have 5G?
Not yet, the neighboring country is still behind in terms of planning as they are expected to launch it by 2023.
Who invented 5G?
This advanced network has been developed by 3GPP.
Is Jio launching 5G?
As per reports, Reliance Jio has already launched 5G Mobile in the annual meeting of Jio company on 24 June 2021.
Does 5G make calls better?
Yes to an extent as 5G VoNR (Voice Over New Radio) will enable voice calls to more efficiently use the high-end network hardware and spectrum.
Is 5G for phone calls or the Internet?
As 5G stands for better connectivity worldwide, hence it will allow you to use the internet even in remote locations. However, calls will also get improvised with a better network.
What are the disadvantages of 5G?
With so many benefits 5G also comes with a few flaws like bringing in immediate retirement of your old 4g supported phones. Also, it might bring in the risk of data security or improper data handling.
Is 5G SIM available in India?
While 5G supported phones are already available and both Airtel and Jio are ready with the 5G launch but still it is going to take some time keeping in mind the improper infrastructure, hence the sim is still not launched.
