The digitization of our economy and society is accelerating.

It is
unstoppable. With the Internet of Things, we see a new era of connectivity
where billions of devices exchange data and instill intelligence in our
everyday life. Any industry will need to adjust to this new reality. But this
requires a new generation of communication networks. 5G is the fifth
generation technology standard for broadband cellular networks,
which cellular phone companies began deploying worldwide in 2019, and is
the planned successor to the 4G networks which provide connectivity to
most current cellphones.
5G networks are predicted to have more than 1.7 billion subscribers
worldwide by 2025, according to the GSM Association.[2] Like its
predecessors, 5G networks are cellular networks, in which the service area
is divided into small geographical areas called cells.
Beyond speed improvement, the technology is expected to unleash
a massive 5G IoT (Internet of Things) ecosystem where networks can serve
communication needs for billions of connected devices, with the right trade-
offs between speed, latency, and cost. 5G is 10 to x100 faster than what you
can get with 4G. 5G is designed to deliver peak data rates up to 20
Gbps based on IMT-2020 requirements. Qualcomm Technologies’
flagship 5G solutions. According to communication principles, the shorter
the frequency, the larger the bandwidth. The use of shorter
frequencies (millimeter waves between 30GHz and 300GHz) for 5G networks
is why 5G can be faster. This high-band 5G spectrum provides the expected
boost not only in speed but also in capacity, low latency, and quality. offers an
extremely low latency rate, the delay between the sending and receiving of
information. From 200 milliseconds for 4G, we go down to 1 millisecond with
5G
• V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) communication: V2V: (Vehicle-to-Vehicle), V2I
(Vehicle-to-Infrastructure), autonomous, connected cars
• Immersive Virtual Reality Gaming
• Remote surgical operations
• Simultaneous translating.

But the new technology also has many Cons


Some of them are-
1. Because of low frequency, the wavelengths of the waves are very
high which causes a lot of health problems to Us as well as other
living organisms
2. The second problem is, it needs a lot of mobile towers for transmitting
signals
3. The costs related to the development of 5G infrastructure or
adaptations to existing cellular infrastructure will be high.
