5G uses radio waves or radio frequency (“RF”) energy to transmit and receive
voice and data connecting our communities. 5G is designed to cater for large
growth in data and connectivity of today’s society and tomorrow’s innovations. The
initial phase of 5G would tap on the existing 4G networks before developing to
fully standalone networks.
Besides delivering high speed connections and
greater capacity, a key advantage of 5G is the fast response time referred to
as latency. Latency is the time taken for devices to respond to each other over
the wireless network. For 3G networks, a
typical response time is 100 milliseconds and for a 4G network it is around 30 milliseconds. With
5G it will be as low as 1 millisecond.
What will 5G power?
GSM Association (“GSMA”) Intelligence predicts that the number of 5G connections
around the world will have hit 1.3 billion by 2025, amounting to around 40
percent, or 2.7 billion population of the world. Further, GSMA believes that
transportation will be central to this rapid growth, with urban congestion a
big driver of its increased usage. It is assumed that the 5G networks and AI
systems will help make travelling safer, by communicating vehicle locations in
real time and lessening the chances of accidents or collisions.
Australian Mobile Telecommunications
Association sees the following impact that 5G will have in the future
For communities - 5G will enable the connection of billions of
devices for our smart cities, smart schools and smart homes, smart and safer
vehicles, enhance health care and education, and provide a safer and more
efficient place to live.
For businesses and
industry - 5G and
IoT will provide a wealth of data allowing them to gain insights into their
operations like never before. Businesses will operate and make key decisions
driven by data, innovate in agriculture, smart farms and manufacturing, paving
the way for cost savings, better customer experience and long term growth.
New and Emerging
technologies - such
as virtual and augmented reality will be accessible by everyone. Virtual reality provides connected
experiences that were not possible before. With 5G and VR you will be able to
travel to your favourite city, watch a live football match with the feeling of
being at the ground, or even be able to inspect real estate and walk through a
new home all from the comfort of your couch.
