In the simplest terms, 5G is a new cellular standard. Now Phone carriers will jump to a new wireless standard called 5G. About 10 years ago, 4G, the fourth-generation network, arrived with significantly faster speeds and stronger reliability than 3G. About a decade before that, 3G arrived and that was much faster and more robust than 2G.

What is 5G (5th Generation)?

• It is the latest technology in the mobile network after 4G.
• This will support very high internet speed can also help an AI.
• It will not only help in connecting peoples but also interconnect and control machines, objects, and devices. 
• Using 5G, machines can sync very fast and respond to another machine or machine programming.
• This will not only boost the mobile sector but other sectors also like cars with AI (driverless), Robots, etc.
• According to TRAI, this will run on 3,300 to 3,600 Mhz frequency band and expected to the primary band.

How 5G can be used?

• To enjoy the benefits of the 5th generation mobile network, one has to buy a new smartphone that supports 5G.
• According to Qualcomm(a wireless chipmaker), the speed of 5G will be around 4.5 Gbps.
• At the initial stage, its speed will be 1.4 Gbps.
• To get the benefits of 5G, users will have to buy new phones, while carriers will need to install new transmission equipment to offer faster service.

Features of 5G

• Speed: Its speed can reach up to 4.5 Gbps. That means you can download a movie within seconds.
• Latency: Will reduce down to a few seconds, the meaning of latency is sync time between two commands of the device to the network.
• The highest-quality VR applications now typically require bulky headsets that are connected by wire to nearby personal computers that generate 3-D images.
