What is 5G
5G is the next fifth-generation of cellular network which are develop from 2G,3G,4G (LTE), And
for the fifth-generation it obviously provide you the faster speed for upload and download.
How it work
So, basically the inner working for 5G is contain with 2 things. 1.Spectrum 2.Small cell.
Low-Band spectrum
: It can also be called sub 1GHz
: It is the previous spectrum which is used for the LTE in U.S.
: It give a great coverage area and not easy to get block by physical object
: But the weakness is the peak data speed will only give around 100 mbps.
Mid-Band spectrum
: 1GHz-2.6GHz
: Faster than the lower-band
: The expect peak speed is up to 1Gbps but it’s fail in penetrate the building
High-Band spectrum
: 24GHz-40GHz refer to mmWave
: The peak speed is up to 10Gbps , very low latency
: But the big drawback is low coverage area and building penetration is poor( easy to get block by
the physical object).
Small cell
: Low power base station to cover a small geographical area
: It have all basic stuff that need for network
: Using mmWave which can improve coverage area and handling high data rate , also it have low
latency
Benefit of 5G
- Iot (Internet of things)
- remote control
- faster internet provide
- internet bandwidth
- health care
When it will release
Well, Some cities in U.S. are already have 5G access. And all off U.S data provider are working
furiously to get 5G network. So, I think it’s depend on where you live in but people are assume
that it will take a several year.
In my opinion, I think 5G is going to be useful and will allow people to access faster. But it take a long time to expand it worldwide and will take a lot of budget which mean it will cost more than our 4G. Also I don’t think the signal will be constant, I had so many experiences about Ping of network, even in some spot of room or even in the open space I have been received no signal already.

Ehm, benefits are nice, but what about the drawbacks ? Cost, an inhuman amount of nodes needed, and so on?
Meh, I don’t know about this one. Sure, 5G will be a common thing to possess in a couple of years or so, yet there are definitely limitations to the technology, and that’s why we don’t have it as of today.
For example, Apple recognizes the use of 5G globally and sees the technology as ünderdeveloped.” Therefore, the statistics and research led them to drop the 5G functionality for their IPhone 11 and 11 Pro this year.
Just saying, 10 years ago, 1 Gb internet would be a miracle. Therefore, we just have to be patient and wait for the upcoming news regarding 5G.
