5G UNLOCKS A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITIES

5Gnetwork, the next generation of mobile internet connectivity, has been in the works for nearly a decade, but we will be seeing a widespread usage of the spectrum. 5G networks are the next generation of mobile internet connectivity, offering faster speeds and reliable connections on smartphones and other devices. 5G offers connections with average download speeds of around 1Gbps.

Broadband providers like AT7T, Verizon, Sprint, and TMobile are gearing up to go all out in advertising services along with the latest iterations of mobile phones. All the players are gearing up with a barrage of advertisement to flex their 5G prowess.

But how far are these tall claims are valid is another matter. The leading four carriers in the U.S. now offer 5G connectivity, but where you can get a signal is limited. Verizon regularly provides over 1Gbps as promised, in some parts of the U.S., but their coverage is spotty and minimal. Sprint’s mid-band 2.5Ghz 5G service covers more area and reliably offers speeds in the 200Mbps region, relatively better than the maximum 100Mbps provided by 4GLTE.

The 5G networks are expected to change the way the world connects and offer high speeds for better and smart connectivity from small devices to large urban projects. It is expected to improve the Internet of Things technology, provide the infrastructure needed to carry huge amounts of data that allows for a smarter and more connected world. 5G is expected to give virtual and augmented reality on the go, and help improve healthcare deliveries and remote surgeries. In short, it will offer:

• Faster download and upload speeds

• Smoother streaming of online content

• Higher-quality voice and video calls

• More reliable mobile connections
