Tomorrow’s mobile connectivity could bring even greater speed and lower latency than it does today. Imagine being able to download a movie in less time than it takes you to read this article! But the only way 5G will be 5X faster than 4G, is if the infrastructure that supports it has improved as well.
While 5G is just around the corner and everyone seems to be excited about its promises to usher in the next generation of mobile connectivity, telecom operators and the government are working hard to develop the ecosystem for India. And the question that bothers many is how India will be able to deploy 5G when there is a lack of infrastructure. Will 5G be any different than its 4G predecessor? Here is a list of the reasons why India must undergo structural changes for 5G technology to become a reality.
The roadmap for India
The smartphone market is undergoing an enormous shift during this time of technological development, fast internet speeds and new advances in entertainment, and it is nearly undeniable that more individuals will be turning to smartphones to supply their every need. Most nations are expected to progress technologically using 5G technology within the next few years because having all of the technology needed to keep up with the rest of the world is vital for competency and wealth when participating in the global economy.
