The next generation of super-fast mobile data connectivity promises a lot. It could deliver speeds of 10 Gigabits per second, connectivity for the Internet of Things (IoT), and could allow users to download full-length films in seconds. While some of these claims may be slightly dubious, what is clear is that 5G technology will bring about a step-change in the coming years.
What is 5G?
5G technology is the fifth generation of the cellular network and it is the 5th generation of mobile wireless standard. 5G will provide more speed, higher capacity, and lower latency than all previous networks. It uses advanced signal processing to connect users at very high data rates while using less power than before. 5G service trials had been occurring in some countries since 2016 and the 5G commercial services began in 2020, with 2019 being mainly focused on 5G deployment on various 5G networks. The reason why it’s being called “5G”, however, is that there isn’t an official and universal definition for what constitutes a “generation” of mobile technology. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations body responsible for drawing up what we would consider to be universal standards, has come up with a set of specifications that new technologies must meet in order to qualify as “5G”, but it’s not yet decided what these standards will look like.

Leave your comments below to let us know what your thoughts are about 5G technology. And now, let s get back to the subject.
What does 5G mean for consumers?
The first thing you can expect from what will be considered as 5G technology is what could be described as “superfast internet” speeds. In theory, what you could expect from 5G is what’s known as “true fiber broadband”, what this means is that what you enjoy now in terms of how fast your connection to the internet can go will soon become what you take for granted. What might also be included in what you would consider being made available through what you could class as 5G technology is what’s known as “connectivity for IoT”, what this means is that your phone will hook up with other devices and appliances around the house, such as smart fridge and security cameras? 5G will also enable what’s known as “hyper-location”, what this means is that you can expect to soon enjoy what’s currently offered through what you would consider 4G technology, in terms of the number of users who are able to access mobile internet at once (especially in dense urban areas) will be much greater. One thing that’s important to note about what 5G technology could offer, is that what you could consider what’s enjoyed through what’s known as LTE-A today will still continue to exist. What this means is that what you would consider what the majority of people in the UK enjoy right now, what’s known as 4G, will not become unavailable overnight when 5G becomes more widely used. There s still debate on what should be considered as “true” 5G technology.
However, it will be available around the world. What might happen in relation to what could be class as “5G” technology is that what will become available through what is known as “5G-lite” infrastructure, what this means is that what you would consider LTE technology to be could be updated to work with 5G infrastructure. Concerns over 5G technology. As much amazing as the technology sounds, 5G technology has come under criticism for its use in military weapons, which could have serious consequences for 5g’s development and its mass rollout. Critics are concerned that 5g will be used to develop 5G weapons or 5G. 5g are weapons that use 5G transmissions to disable electronic equipment covertly by means of destroying or disrupting functions. 5g signals are preferable for 5Gs because they require less energy than microwaves, which are commonly used in current 5Gs. The main 5Gs currently in development are 5g radio jamming or 5g electromagnetic pulse (EMP) weapons, which use 5G transmissions to interfere with cellular communications and power systems. 5gw could also be used as mobile devices that can act as jammers at closer proximity than 5Gs, disrupting 5G service for large areas of the public. 5g could also be used as 5Gs to destroy physical equipment. 5g may even have applications in a covert assassination using 5Gs that are able to induce epileptic seizures or cardiac arrest by disrupting normal bodily functions. 5G is seen as an emerging technology, 5G will make use of high-frequency microwaves which cannot be stopped by walls, and therefore 5G can penetrate inside homes. 5g used in 5GWs may result in people being unaware that they are under attack because 5Gs cannot be seen, heard, or otherwise detected by victims. 5g could also be used for military purposes such as covert assassinations. The fear itself is mostly about the militarizing 5G technology. Meaning 5G. Other than that, there is no issue or trouble when civilians are using the technology itself.
Critics also reported the 5G technology could cause serious danger as it could penetrate human s organs due to its high frequency the same way it happens with walls and other physical objects. This theory however was proven to be wrong. Several experts on the biological effects of electromagnetic radiation prove radio waves are way safer at higher frequencies, not the other way around. Also, the protective effect of human skin would protect the body from any harm that radio frequencies may cause. This is called the shielding effect where the skin acts as a barrier and shields internal organs from external exposures as it blocks the higher frequencies of sunlight. What does the Future hold for 5G? Major US corporations including Qualcomm, NVidia, Skyworks Solutions, etc heavily support the integration of G5 as it promises vast improvements in speed and responsiveness. Statista reports that the technology will move from 5.53 billion USD in 2020 to 620.72 billion USD by 2030. The technology will certainly change everything from the way we use social media on our mobile devices to how we stream content on our smart TV.
