What is 5G technology? 👉🏻5G technology is the next generation in mobile networks. Like 3G and 4G before it, 5G is expected to be better and more powerful than what we’re used to. The new technology will use higher frequencies than the likes of 4G, offering more speed and higher bandwidth. 👉🏻If all goes well, 5G could potentially spell the end of Wi-Fi, particularly in public places, as the network will be strong enough to facilitate all the mobile internet browsing you could possibly want, from watching shows on Netflix to being able to scroll Instagram without interference. 👉🏻As well, because the network will have a bigger capacity than 4G, it means that thousands of devices in a small area can be connected at the same time. The other benefits 5G will bring👇🏻 With all these powerful internet connections around, it’s likely there will be even more internet of things (IoT) devices taking advantage of this. Driverless cars is one area where we could really see the benefit of better internet. According to the World Economic Forum: “By making driving, mapping and video data available in real-time, 5G will extend the ability of vehicles to perceive their environment beyond line of site, though robust vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to infrastructure connectivity to coordinate to improve traffic safety, efficiency, and flow.” 👉🏻Furthermore, 5G could even power things such as drones being used to deliver medical supplies. 👉🏻BT said 5G speeds can help with "advanced disaster recovery services using drones, such as delivery of equipment, medicine, food, water and blood." 👉🏻There are also some more general things 5G will improve in our day-to-day lives. According to O2’s smart cities report, 5G could save households up to £450 a year on bills ranging from energy to food and council. Things like smart fridges will reduce food bills, a 5G-enabled smart grid will cut down on your energy bills, and if councils take advantage of smart refuse collection, the costs saved here could be passed on to homes.
