How 5G works and what it delivers

                                                                          

                                                                       

5g is the fifth generation of wireless data network and it will improve them far more than 4g or 3g ever could. you'll feel it in your telephone your home your vehicle and in the city and town around you, downloads and streaming ought to happen literally without delay. the vehicle will talk to each other to prevent collisions an untethered augmented and virtual reality can finally be achieved with the real-time reaction. not to mention industrial advantage like remote surgery or done control. 5g does it's magic with three key abilities. first high bandwidth 4g could only must about 200 megabits per second of data throughput on a good day. 5g can handle up to 1 gigabit or more that's a thousand megabits a second on up low latency. 4g suffers from around a hundred milliseconds or so in response delay or latency. 5g reaction time can be as low as 1 millisecond which makes everything happen virtually instantly and dense connections in a given square kilometre 4g could only manage to connect about 1/10 the amount of devices as 5g can. if that's some of what 5g does how does it. 

 

do it 5g uses new radio technology the part of any wireless that makes the connections 5g uses some radio frequencies in a band known as sub 6 from 600 megahertz to 6 gigahertz part of which is also used by current 4g LITE. but 5g will also use a higher band of radio frequencies from 24 gigahertz to as high as 86 these much higher frequencies bring with them much higher data rates. now while these new 5g radio waves can carry more data with the higher performance they can't carry it as far so 5g will use a lot of so-called small cells these are small versions of the big cellular tower we all know. 5g will also use some new tricks in these small cells like. beamforming to efficiently aim transmissions rather than just spray everything everywhere the bottom line though you will need new phones tablet portable hot spots on the like with a 5g radio inside to connect to the new 5g networks. your current 4g or even 5g gear can't tap into it 5g networks will also position more data and computing resources closer to you that will avoid blunting 5 G's low latency benefits. 

most of us do you think of phones when we think of wireless networks but phones may actually be the least interesting think about 5g. it will also power autonomous cars so they have awareness of every other car bike-pedestrian and traffic signal around them smart cities based on 5g can make almost anything that's electric also connected and aware when. a bridge needs repair why can't it tell someone with a mesh of 5g connected sensors it could and then there's your home 5g will offer a new way to get internet there is skewing cable or DSL and one day maybe even obviating your WI-FI router altogether. as devices may just use 5g natively to connect directly to a wireless ISP 5g has renewed concerns about the safety of cellular radio waves. some cities have taken action to block 5g deployment health questions come up around 5 G's use of microwave frequencies lots of them as we've seen thanks for that huge number of small cells that will be installed around us. 

                                                             

now while 5g may sound like a lot of microwave ovens mounted on poles running with their entryways open in fact microwaves are nothing new already emitted by your current smartphone old cordless phones your wireless headphones and earbuds and just about anything with WI-FI as well as yes microwave ovens but even 5 G's most frequencies are considered by scientists to be non-ionizing radiation. you have to move on up to X-rays gamma rays and cosmic radiation to locate the kind of emissions that will harm cells and 5g is far below that 5g follows the inverse square law. losing power rapidly at even a little distance from the small cell the US CDC says there is no scientific evidence to provide a definite answer to the question of cellular radio wave safety. what it's 3G 4G or 5g. 5g will take years to roll out and some investment on your part but the complexity of that deployment and debugging should be worth the wait delivering the world we've been guaranteed for a long time where everything is connected aware and responsive. and a world in which we can stop worrying about the availability of performance of connectivity in the first place.
