The broad range of technology and infrastructure changes inherent to 5G deployment will create tremendous benefits as well as potential challenges to individual users, businesses, and service providers.

1. What is 5G Technology?
What is 5G Technology?
The “5G” stands for “fifth generation” cellular communication. 5G is able to operate
in the millimeter wave, where the amount of spectrum available for 5G means that
data can be transferred much more rapidly than is currently possible. The broad
range of technology and infrastructure changes inherent to 5G deployment will
create tremendous benefits as well as potential challenges to individual users,
businesses, and service providers.
How Fast is 5G?
Operators performing 5G speed trials have reported speeds of up to 70 Gbps.
Industry-sponsored simulations have also produced impressive results with data
speeds increasing from 71 Mbps for 4G users to 1.4 Gbps for 5G users in the
millimeter wave. Accompanying the uptick in speed is the dramatic decrease in
latency. This will be an important factor for new technologies such as self-driving
cars and “virtual” robotic surgery that rely on instantaneous communication. With
5G, latency in the 1 millisecond range can be expected, whereas latency of around
20 millisecond is typical for 4G.
