Bog'liq DKLBenefits of moving to 5G
5G is the next evolution of mobile network technology. It offers the promise of increased bandwidth with peak speeds as high as 20 Gbps, which is dramatically more than the 100 Mbps specified by 4G.
Bandwidth alone is not the only benefit of moving to 5G. Other benefits of 5G include:
Lower latency. 5G enables more responsive, faster connections. 5G latency is intended to be less than 1 millisecond, which is significantly faster than the 60 to 98 milliseconds that 4G enables.
Less congestion. 5G also offers less signal interference than 4G. Both 4G and 5G use OFDM technology, which splits signals into different channels. While 4G provides 20 MHz channels, 5G has channels in the 100 to 800 MHz range, enabling more capacity, less congestion and higher download speeds.
Power consumption. For mobile devices, 5G has the potential to consume less energy on consumer devices and smartphones than 4G, which could enable longer battery life for devices.
