What is 5g and what are its outstanding advantages compared with previous communication technologies?

5g is the latest generation of cellular mobile communication technology, and its outstanding advantage is that the data transmission rate is higher than that of previous cellular networks.

The main advantage of 5G network is that the data transmission rate is much higher than the previous cellular network, and the highest data transmission rate can reach 10Gbit/s, which is faster than the current wired Internet and 100 times faster than the previous 4G LTE cellular network.

Another advantage is that the network delay is lower than 1 ms, while 4G is 30-70 ms.. Because of the faster data transmission speed, 5G network will not only provide services for mobile phones, but also become a general home and office network provider, competing with wired network providers.

In the past, cellular networks provided low data rate Internet access for mobile phones, but as a general Internet provider of home computers, cellular phone towers could not provide enough bandwidth economically.

Extended data:

Relying on the characteristics of higher speed, greater connection and lower delay, 5G not only solves the communication problem between people, but also realizes the interconnection between people and things, things and things.

In the 5G network, virtual reality, augmented reality, 8K HD video, driverless, telemedicine, smart home and so on. Only then will it truly move towards mature applications.

It is believed that 5G, as a key infrastructure for building a digital transformation of economy and society in an all-round way, will promote the transformation of traditional industries and the innovation of digital economy, become a new engine for development in the next decade or even longer, better support and serve the construction of digital China, and promote economic and social development.
