Benefits Of 5G
Are you aware of the benefits 5G has to offer? This network upgrade is already having a huge impact on the world and will continue to revolutionise business telecommunications and the way individuals will communicate with each other in the years to come.
We’ve taken a closer look at what 5G has to offer, listing the main benefits of this new network below.
What is 5G?
Put simply, 5G is the 5th generation mobile network and has become the latest global wireless standard following 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G networks. 5G is the next generation of mobile internet connection and is designed to offer much faster data download and upload speeds.
It also allows far more devices to access the mobile internet at the same time, due to greater use of the radio spectrum.
What are the main benefits of 5G?
Not many people like change, but the introduction of 5G is certainly a change for the better, for both businesses and people alike.
Here’s a couple of benefits that will help you in your day to day routine:
Faster Than 4G
In theory, 5G connections have the ability to reach 10gb per second, making it 100 times faster than a 4G connection! Ever found yourself twiddling your thumbs trying to download a film? 5G will reduce the download speed from minutes to seconds.
Not only that, you’ll be able to do loads of things in one go without apps or platforms crashing or loading slowly. With 5G, your phone can also load images with higher resolutions instantly in crystal clear quality.
Reduced Latency
Latency is the delay you get between one side of a connection and the other end receiving it. Ever watched the news and noticed a bit of a pause between reporters during a live broadcast? That’s latency.
With 5G, you can wave goodbye to buffering. The latency associated with 5G is roughly 50 times better than a 4G connection. This makes 5G perfect for when you do anything that requires a lot of data, such as gaming or streaming videos, as everything will load instantly – say goodbye to those buffering ‘circles of doom’!
Offers More Capacity
The world is becoming more and more reliant on mobile every year. This also means that we’re consuming a greater amount of data too, with the likes of video and music streaming growing in popularity.
Due to this volume of demand, 4G spectrum bands can become congested and cause breakdowns in service. Despite 4G networks being sufficient most of the time, they struggle whenever too many people try to use it simultaneously in similar areas; this is why you might find it difficult to make a phone call at midnight on new year’s eve.
However, due to superior bandwidth capacity (up to 1000 times more than 4G!), 5G is much better at handling thousands of devices simultaneously. This means 5G can provide businesses with contact centre solutions to help them deliver the level of service their customers expect.
What’s more, 5G also means you’ll be able to connect more devices together. From mobiles to smart cars, video cameras to smart street lights, 5G is transforming the way we communicate and is helping the world become a better place.
