While 4G has not been widely applied in many places, 5G has its very first step in to the world. Right now, 5G has proved to be a revolutionary movement which will change the way we use the Internet.
Ultra-high speed provides more real-time applications
Because no specifications have been set for 5G yet, no one knows what the true speed will be, but we do know that data rates of tens of megabits per second should be supported for tens of thousands of users. Trials done by some of the globe’s biggest networks have proven that 5G could deliver speeds up to 100 times faster than today’s average 4G LTE connection. As a result, there would be a new media channel where more people are connected than anytime. Streaming services, interactive video and mobile Internet connectivity will become ever more common. Many of these applications require always-on connectivity to push real-time information and notifications to users.
Cellphones continue the dominance
By 2020, 90% of people older than 6 will own cellphones, according to Ericsson. Currently the duration an user spend on his mobile phone is quite long, then 5G - with ultra high speed will increase it radically. Users will read more, watch more and play more on their phones without caring about the heavy Internet. Laptops or Pcs won’t be as important as they are now.
Home Working
High speed safe Internet enables people to work where they want. While we have to go to our offices to get good connection, 5G allow us to download data, attend online meeting at home or even in a shopping mall. This working trend helps companies save their monthly expenses besides pleasing employees by saving their time and transportation cost.
Internet of Things
A recent Ericsson survey found that 95% of leaders at mobile network operators believe that 5G will help support the surge in data from these IoT devices. Furthermore, 5G will also decrease maintenance costs on some of these IoT solutions, specifically by reducing power consumption and allowing longer battery life. This in turn would reduce the cost of maintaining these battery-powered devices.
From connected homes and connected cars to smart buildings and transportation, every aspect of our lives will be affected by the increasing ability of consumers, businesses, and governments to connect to and control everything around them..
Mobile AR/VR
The biggest change 5G may bring is in virtual and augmented reality. As phones transform into devices meant to be used with VR headsets, the very low latency and consistent speeds of 5G will give you an Internet-augmented world, if and when you want it. Sprint recently demonstrated streaming wireless VR at the Copa America soccer tournament. The small cell aspects of 5G may also help with in-building coverage, as 5G encourages every home router to become a cell site.
Robotics in the cloud
5G will connect more than IT resources: It will be a pervasive, highly flexible, and ultra-low latency virtualized infrastructure capable of weaving together an exponential number of smart terminals, devices, machines, wearables, cars, drones, and robots with the enormous processing and storage power available in the cloud. It will also use new interfaces and efficiently combine existing and new networks to deliver services to specific users. It will determine the emergence of new ICT ecosystems with user-centric perspectives.
