5G and the World

5G technology: fifth generation of wireless networking technology allowing even more rapid high speed connectivity & bandwith the world over.

5G is the latest ever-existing broadband infrastructure to make life most simpler and advanced. Although it is still being evaluated in several laboratories in its beta process, others are eager to share it with the public. This isn’t everything, though. While most of us are late to the gathering, certain countries are rejoicing at the big party table already. Believe me or not, it has been out since 2018 in some countries?

And still, because of insufficient or minimized funding, there are a few countries that did not even start working on it. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. If you’re not sure why 5G is important, let me clear the air by hitting you with a little truth, all right?

If you think 4G is super-fast—5G, according to the data, is 1000 times quicker and better than it. It is expected to have speeds of up to a hundred gigabits per second, which is unbelievably fast, eye blinkingly fast!

A genuine artwork, frankly, because the internet is not only a privilege but a way of living and AT&T wireless just made it more easier!

If you are wondering when it will reach our country or when you’ll be finally able to get your hands on this technology – there’s a table below which I have produced on the subject. It’s bound to mistakes because everything is only an estimate, not 100% solid news.

In the table below, “//” represents either or maybe. Some countries are releasing their 5G plans early for commercial purposes and say that it will be completely operational in the latter year.

Best of luck finding your country and getting good news – if it’s not as you want – hope or work towards this goal. You could be the one to bring about this change in your country too, you know? All you need to have is the skill to do so – nothing else matters. 

Difference between 5G and 4G

While many are curious about 5G, some don’t even know why it is different from 4G. The fourth-generation internet, or 4G, is 500 times faster than 3G (third-generation) – so yes, it is amazing. However, 5G is an even more improved version of 4G with greater speed and connectivity.

5G is 100 times faster than its predecessor with a promise of 100 gigabits per second. It is supposedly faster than any home broadband network available. The major difference between 4G and 5G is ‘low latency’. Latency can be explained as the amount of time that passes from the moment a piece of information is transferred to that when it is received. A low latency indicates that one can replace both cable modem and Wi-Fi with a mere mobile device connection. The upload and download speed is, therefore, enhanced by manifolds because of this very reason. 

Here is a table to help you understand the difference between all internet generations;

Apart from speed, 5G is also able to help with bandwidth issues. Many devices are connected to 3G & 4G but the networks lack an infrastructure to handle it effectively. 5G, on the other hand, is going to have a set infrastructure to help handle not only current devices but also those in the future like driverless cars, smart home products, subscription models, etc.
