What is 5G network?
Like everything else in the world, mobile network technology is evolving. Among these 5G or 5G networks are currently being discussed. New technologies are constantly being discovered that are being adapted for general consumer use after a long period of research.
Although different technical terms are used as the names of cellular technologies, they have been divided into different generations for the convenience of general consumers. Such as- second generation network, third generation network etc. These are also easily called 2G and 3G.
Mobile users around the world are now using fourth generation networks or 4G. We are also able to enjoy 4G facility in Bangladesh. 4G was launched in Bangladesh in 2016. It is hoped that in 2021, mobile phone users will be able to experience 5G in Bangladesh. Since 5G is a new technology for us, there is no shortage of interest from everyone. Let's find out more about 5G network and the benefits of 5G.
What is 5G? - What is 5G?
As mentioned earlier, 5G is a fifth generation wireless mobile network. Naturally, its speed and nature will be better than the 4G technology currently used. And in doing so, other specifications have also been changed. The 5G network we are talking about here is the 5G used in cellular devices. Also the fifth generation of WiFi network or 5G has been invented which is already in use.
Currently 4G wireless networks work with two technologies. One is LTE or Long Term Evolution and the other is WiMAX. We use 4G network of LTE technology on mobile or smartphone.
Similarly 5G technology may also be given a technical name based on the specification. A different encoding method will be used for data transfer in Five G network. Moreover, its carrier channel will be much wider so that it can provide more bandwidth and at the same time keep many more devices connected.
How fast will 5G be? What will be the speed of 5G?
In general, the good and bad of the cellular network depends largely on the transfer speed. It is true that the actual speed can be much lower than the theoretical speed of any network. As we see in the case of 4G. The speed also depends on the capacity of the device and your location.
However, researchers say that the speed of the 5G network will be 10 Gbps or 10 gigabits per second. However, the network design of the Five-G has a peak speed of 20 gigabits.
But in the actual tests, of course, not so much speed is available. Tests on various mobile devices have found speeds ranging from 1 to 1.5 gigabits. But even then it is much faster than the current 4G. The average speed of FiveG can be more than 100 Mbps.
Let's get an idea of how fast 5G will be. Simply put, you will get at least 10 times more internet speed than you currently get on 4G network. Simply put, on a 5G network you can download a 2 hour video in less than 10 seconds. Where it takes about 6 minutes to download this same video on 4G.
At the same time the latency of 5G will be much less. Latency is when connecting to a server. In common parlance what we call ping. This will facilitate many more processes including online gaming.
What are the advantages of 5G?
With more than 5G speeds, internet users will get several benefits. But 5G means more than just high speed internet connection. Using 5G will revolutionize the world's communications and industrial systems. It's not just for watching movies, but the world of 5G is much bigger.
Quick download
This is the most talked about aspect of 5G. The data transfer rate is expected to be 30-50 times higher than 4G. As a result, you can download a full HD movie of a few GB size from the Internet in a matter of seconds, which is unthinkable in the case of 4G. Also, to update a few gigabytes of software, you don't have to sit for hours like the previous day.
Bufferless streaming
The current era is the era of streaming. At one time people only thought of video streaming, but platforms like Google's Stadia are also arranging video games for streaming. In the case of 5G, new horizons of video game play will be opened for low latency. Then you can play all high-profile games without downloading to your mobile or PC. Games can be played on any PC without a high-powered gaming PC. With cloud computing you can stream games.
Virtual reality
Virtual reality is the future. Experience virtual reality or augmented reality will be easier for 5G welfare. At the same time, operations like robotic surgery using virtual reality will gradually become more common. Then a doctor can operate on a patient in a remote operating theater using a robotic arm while sitting in his chamber. 5G's high speed and ultra-low latency will make this advantage.
Power efficient
Modem chips supported by 5G network are much more power efficient than before. As a result, if you use the net in FiveG technology on mobile devices, the charge is much less expensive
