5th Generation is the
next-generation of wireless communications and mobile technology. 5G Technology
uses a variety of spectrum bands, including millimetre radio spectrum, which can
carry very large amounts of data in a short distance. China was first to launch
its 5G national network and start commercial operation.
ADVANTAGES OF 5G
·
Speed:
With 4G we were able to download an average HD movie in about 10 minutes. But
with the introduction of 5G, it would be as less as 4 seconds, its theoretical
speed being 20 gigabits/s,20 times faster than Google Fibre.
·
Reduced Latency:
Perhaps, most important than speed.5G solves the problem of latency, which is
the delay between commands and responses from the server.5G is supposed to have
50 times faster response than 4G and this will not only be important in
smartphones, but in connected machinery, self-driving cars and in health-care
field.
·
Efficient:
With 5G bringing all devices together, it will be much easier to support and
provide services, which would be highly efficient as well.
DISADVANTAGES
OF 5G
·
Time:
It will take years before the new technology gets deployed worldwide
·
Price and Replacement:
Older devices will not be able to work with new 5G users and will have to
purchase new devices in order to benefit. Also, the price of a new 5G device
and related service plans could be significantly higher than for current
devices and services.
· Security Issues and
Health hazards: Some studies have shown that the 5G
‘small cell’ antennas will result in continuous exposure to everyone living nearby.
This increased exposure will lead to a rise in diseases like cancer etc. Apart
from these health hazards, security and privacy issues are still significant
problems to be resolved. So, all in all, although the 5th generation
is expected to benefit multiple consumers and enterprise sectors, but the flaws
of it needs to be addressed at first, otherwise more than improvement in
technology, it would rather be a danger to humanity.
