5G Network

In telecommunications, 5G is the technology standard for fifth-generation mobile broadband networks that mobile phone companies began deploying worldwide in 2019, and is designed to be an advance on

5G networks, which provide connectivity to most current mobile phones. According to the GSM Association and Statista, 5G networks are projected to have more than 1.7 billion subscribers by 2025 and account for 25% of the global mobile technology market.

Like their predecessors, 5G networks are cellular networks with a service area divided into small geographic areas called cells. All wireless 5G devices in a cell are connected via radio waves to the internet and telephone network via a local antenna in the cell. New networks have higher download speeds, eventually reaching 10 gigabits per second (Gbit/s). In addition to being faster than existing networks, 5G has higher bandwidth and can therefore connect to a wider range of devices, improving the quality of internet services in congested areas. With increased bandwidth, networks are expected to increasingly become the primary Internet Service Provider (ISP) for laptops and desktop computers, competing with existing ISPs such as cable Internet, as well as enabling new applications on the Internet, things (IoT) and machine-to machine domains.
