Why we need 5G

5G will make technology a lot easier for people to use. All the  upcoming technology will be almost impossible to run without 5G. It  transmits data a lot more efficiently, and has the potential to be 40 times faster and suffer less lag laps then 4G. This speed is critical for autonomous cars (self driving cars) because they need to be able to have make fast decisions to avoid crashes. It will connect to the internet of things and help that work efficiently. It will have the ability to have more self driving cars on the road and advanced manufacturing and business communication.

There will be way faster download and upload speeds. It will be 100 times faster and 5 times more responsive than the network we have today. 5G will have a better capacity to process huge amounts of data. 5G will have a faster response, sometimes referred to ‘low latency’ this translates to almost no lag time in applications. It will be able to enable up to 1 million linked devices per square kilometer. 5G  will enable billions of Internet of things devices – more than just next generation smartphones to communicate with each other rapidly, securely and reliably. Not all Internet Of things devices will require 5G, but autonomous vehicle (AVs) will require this level of responsiveness, reliability, and performance in order to become a reality.

On the consumer level, smartphones that are 5G enabled, the user can take higher resolution images, record and transit streaming video and be able to connect to wearable’s (things like smartwatches) with much higher speed. People will be able to view and act with information in real ways that used to be impossible.

Future Impacts

The transition to new fifth generation network, known as 5G, will affect many kinds of devices including industrial robots, security cameras, drones and cars that send traffic data to one another. 5G will leap ahead of the current wireless technology like 4G. It will offer mobile speeds that will let people download entire movies within  seconds and most likely bring big changes to video games, sport, and shopping. EHS and MCS could create a major public health risk in years to come worldwide.
