4G network has just been applied recently. And now, the tech world, from smartphone maker to mobile supplier, is beginning to talk about 5G wireless connectivity. So, what is 5G wireless network?

5G wireless network: 20Gbps speeds and 1ms latency

We’ve got 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G so far. So, what does “G” mean ? Well, G is for ‘generation’ of wireless technology. Each generation has the different data transmission speeds. 1G is analog cellular. 2G is the first digital cellular technology such as GSM, TDMA or CDMA. 3G (HSPA, UMTS, and EVDO) brings you the speeds of about 200kbps to a few megabits/ second. 4G is the latest technology with the speed which is 20 times faster than 3G. It includes WiMAX and LTE.

5G is the new network. It will give you lower latency, higher speeds + capacity, and greater flexibility than 3G, 4G. It can handle low frequencies like old TV channels. It can also use high frequencies which can transmit an enormous number of data within a few seconds. According to the manufacturer, 5G wireless network can enhance the capacity four times over the existing network. This new network can reach 20Gbps speeds and just get 1ms latency. Well, its is too amazing?

5G can be applied for home Internet with huge capacity. It can fully offer huge demands of a household. This new network can replace DSL and be applied for 5G home wireless phone, home phone, and home Internet. 5G wireless cellular can also be used for cars. And it can be even used for cities. As for phone, 5G will be available in AR/VR

5G wireless connectivity will be out in 2020

The special thing about 5G networks is that it will accept small, inexpensive, low-power devices.  This means that it is able to connect a lot of small objects. Are you excited yet? So, when will 5G happen? Well, this network won’t show up until 2018. And it will official be released in 2019 or 2020. Many carriers are preparing for this 5G. Verizon and AT&T said that they’ll have 5G in next year. Well, who knows. Just wait and see!
