What is 5G: how fast is 5G technology

5G Network, 4G vs 5G

 Historical reminder

     All countries have their eyes on 5G technology because it offers unbelievable possibilities. But before we take a look at this new technology and how it works, let's take a little trip to the past of the networks that already exist.

     
     Before 5G there were nine types of networks available on smartphones, here is a short summary:

5G speed, 5G vs 4G...

1- The 2G or GSM network, created in 1982, which only allows the launching and reception of calls on mobile phones.

2- The 2.5G GPRS network allows the exchange of light Data, SMS with a maximum speed of 171.2 Kbits/second.

3- The EDGE 2.75G network, with a speed of 384 Kbits/second.

4- The 3G network, allows the exchange of SMS, MMS and therefore photos, with a speed of 14.4 Kbits/second. 
     Mbits/second or 7.5 times faster.

5- The 3G+ network allows a speed of 14.4 Mbits/second or 7.5 times faster than 3G.

6- The H+ or HSPA+ network the speed can go up to 42 Mbits/second.

7- The 4G network goes to a higher speed to reach a speed of 100 Mbits/second.

8- The 4G+ or 4G LTE Advanced network offers a speed between 200 and 300 Mbits/second.

9- The 4G+ UHD "Ultra High Speed" or 4G++ network offers speeds up to 300 Mbits/second.

          What difference does 5G technology make?

       In theory, the 5G standard brings substantial improvements in three areas: density, latency, and throughput. 

     5G promises us an even higher bandwidth to cope with current usage, and of course, 4K will soon become generalized, 8K will follow, streaming will become the standard for video, cloud gaming or virtual reality. All these uses require more bandwidth.

     To respond to the huge growth in data and connectivity in modern society, the fifth generation of 5G mobile technology was born.

     Faster, with speeds up to 10x faster than 4G. More people, optimally connected. More connected objects, billions of connected objects. 

     More reactive, almost in real-time to play online and eventually, the piloting of autonomous cars. More ecological reduces costs and energy consumption.

          When's 5G due?

     According to the latest Global Mobile Suppliers Association (GSA) report, 201 operators are deploying or testing pre-5G in 83 countries. Eleven of them have launched a 5G ersatz in pilot cities.

     Japan plans to roll out the 5G network for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. 

     France is also expected to see the technology arrive on that date. By the end of 2024, 5G should cover more than 40% of the world's population for 1.5 billion mobile broadband subscribers, according to the equipment manufacturer Ericsson.
