It is not far fetched for people to start serious discussions and preparations for the next 5g technology. The fifth generation(5g) of wireless technology is set to launch in 2020 but with most countries utilising 3G and 4G technologies, it would be ideal to be ready to harness the benefits that will come with 5G technology. What is 5G?

| Features of 5G Technology |
5G stands for fifth generation of wireless technology and newest wireless technology standard based on the IEEE 802. According to the guide, 5G must be based on user experience, system performance, enhanced services, business models and management & operations'.
And according to the GSMA to qualify for a 5G a connection should meet most of these eight criteria:
And according to the GSMA to qualify for a 5G a connection should meet most of these eight criteria:
- One to 10Gbps connections to end points in the field
- One millisecond end-to-end round trip delay
- 1000x bandwidth per unit area
- 10 to 100x number of connected devices
- (Perception of) 99.999 percent availability
- (Perception of) 100 percent coverage
- 90 percent reduction in network energy usage
- Up to ten-year battery life for low power, machine-type devices
What advantages will come with this technology?
The best thing that will come with this technology is the download speeds. It is poised to have maximum download speeds of 10, 000Mbps and with greater bandwidth comes faster download speeds and the ability to run more complex mobile internet apps.
What are the disadvantages?
Addition of 5G technology to the wireless spectrum might lead to overcrowding of the frequency range. It is going to cost more to integrate with our day to day devices. Integrating the technology with the smart phones, most of devices will become obsolete.
Most known tech companies are developing devices to be integrated with this kind of technology. will you embrace this development once it launches
