How 5G would influence the world

Posted by E-Lins Technology on March 25th, 2020

Probably during 2020-2021, we will live in 5G Times and enjoy 5G brings us big convenience in our daily life. Now we are all talking about the word “5G”.

What is 5G technology?

5G is the fifth generation of cellular technology. It is designed to increase speed, reduce latency, and improve flexibility of wireless services. 5G technology has a theoretical peak speed of 20 Gbps, while the peak speed of 4G is only 1 Gbps. 

While 4G LTE focused on ensuring connectivity, 5G takes connectivity to the next level by delivering connected experiences from the cloud to clients. 5G networks are virtualized and software-driven, and they exploit cloud technologies.

5G technology should improve connectivity in underserved rural areas and in cities where demand can outstrip today's capacity with 4G technology. New 5G networks will also have a dense, distributed-access architecture and move data processing closer to the edge and the users to enable faster data processing.

What benefits 5G bring us?

Expanding network capabilities

One of the key benefits of 5G is “network slicing,” which will allow businesses to get different levels of connectivity (from ISP) to accommodate multiple use cases. 5G slices will be based on the three primary use case categories:

Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB): eMBB provides higher bandwidth and higher speeds for everything from smart city applications and stadiums, to streaming infotainment in cars and planes, to seamless cloud services and fleet management telematics for safety and diagnostics.

Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (uRLLC): uRLLC supports real-time, mission-critical communications such as autonomous driving, industrial robotics automation, and emergency disaster response and location services. The tactile response time is expected to be less than 1 millisecond.

Massive Internet of Things (mIoT): MIoT serves billions of low-cost, long range, ultra-energy efficient connected devices across remote locations, as well as cloud applications with periodic, infrequent communication.
