The potential of 5G wireless lies in its promised fast speeds and compatibility with all kinds of devices. Under perfect conditions, 5G home routers shown at technology conferences have achieved speeds of up to 4 gigabits per second. Compared to today’s internet speeds of 55 megabits, 5G is way faster at transferring data. Thanks to its properties of being wireless and speedy, 5G is expected to reach self-driving cars, home appliances, and virtual reality devices. Since its power is managed wirelessly, 5G won’t require of complicated infrastructure. The 5G technology will be more accessible than current cable internet solutions.
Earlier in January, AT&T announced that it would begin rolling out its mobile 5G network later this year. Verizon is another company committing the release of their own 5G network.
Author’s Note
Pushing forward data connectivity in a manner that is faster and more compatible than the previous alternative is always welcomed. Will 5G become cheaper than 4G LTE and home internet? Will “easiness of distribution” guarantee greater competition, therefore lower pricing for the consumer?
