What is 5G?

BLIVALE Blog 05 March 2022

The new Mobile and Wireless network is called 5G, and stands for 5th generation.

It's a faster network and definitely better than other generations in several ways.

Each network depends on the type of connection you connect to. Currently, in addition to the new 5G connection network, 3G and 4G networks are present in most of the world, the latter mainly. In fact, many countries are starting to shut down 3G networks for 4G.

It will take a few more before a global roll-out of the 5G network.

What is 5G?

Before 5G, there were 0G, 1G, 2G networks, and 3G and 4G networks still exist today.

Each generation brings new technologies and features that are essential for the improvement and development of the communication systems we use today.

Both 4G and 5G are allowing users to connect virtually.

One of the expected benefits for users:

improved, fast and stable Internet browsing, with very low network latency (delay in communication over a network)
possibility of performing remote surgery
use of clouds that allow the sharing of data, apps, and much more, allowing multiple users to connect at the same time enjoying the high speed of the network, without having to worry about interference
use of IoT (Internet of Things) that allow the management and iteration of devices remotely, not only for companies, but also at their homes
lower energy consumption with the reduction of energy consumption compared to the 4G network
increase in connection points, which will however lead to an increase in antennas.
