Glad to see you back for more of the 5G connectivity discussion. We are on the cusp of the next big jump in human evolution. That sounds terrifying but it’s the ultimate truth. Connectivity is the mutation of the 21st century and we make major advances in human civilization with each connectivity advancement we establish. With 4g and LTE we created the IOT and changed existence forever in every possible way.
Over the next few days we, as in you and I will dive in to the next generation of mobile internet connections and what it will mean for out daily lives, what we can expect, who and where this will come from and what we can make of all of this. In this 5 part break down we are going to take a Snow-white like look into our futures. 5G connectivity is coming, and fast then you would expect. Just to put this in to a scope of things, Cyborgs will run on 5G Connectivity. Excited yet? Lets explore and prepare for the next step of human evolution.
What is 5G?
Simply put, 5G mobile networks and wireless systems are the next phase in global telecommunication standards. However, to refer to it as merely a “next phase” is truly an understatement given how wireless connectivity has expanded far beyond smartphones and WLAN routers to new and previously unimagined markets and applications. While we are still in the early stages of evolving from person-to-person communications towards device-to-device connectivity throughout the connected home, machine-to-machine, industrial and automotive markets, these new and exciting applications are bringing profound advancements in deep learning, artificial intelligence and “ambient awareness.” The way we do business and interact with each other today will be virtually unrecognizable to many in 5-10 years, yet entirely ordinary to our children.
How Does 5G Work
5G is a marketing term for some new mobile technologies. Definitions differ and confusion is common. The ITU IMT-2020 standard provides for speeds up to 20 gigabits per second and has only been demonstrated with millimeter waves of 15 gigahertz and higher frequency. The more recent 3GPP standard includes any network using the NR New Radio software. 5G New Radio can include lower frequencies, from 600 MHz to 6 GHz. However, the speeds in these lower frequencies are only modestly higher than new 4G systems, estimated at 15% to 50% faster. At least at the lower frequencies, “5G is evolutionary.
Huh? Yeah that’s a bit much, I know my head is spinning just typing that. What we are really saying is 5G is going to operate on minimum wave lengths. This is allowing faster and further transmissions with less degradations and penetrate obstacles better. 5G NR speed in sub-6 GHz bands can be modestly higher than 4G with a similar amount of spectrum and antennas. That’s the How.
The Final 5G Connectivity Part 2 Thought
This was a bit intense, but I think we all got the grasp of 5G functionality, we learned today. We learned What and How, and every some new big fancy words as well. Tomorrow I want to get to the fun stuff, the why…The capabilities, the tech and tools we can use it for.
