5G is the fifth generation of mobile networks. It follows previous mobile generations 2G, 3G, and 4G. Compared to todayâs networks (which primarily use 4G and 3G technology), 5G is set to be far faster and more reliable, with greater capacity and lower response times.
2. 1G: Voice Only
Cell phones began with
1G technology in the
1980s.
3G:More Data, Video Calling &
Mobile Internet
The introduction of 3G
networks in 1998 ushered in

4G:The Current
Standard
5G:Coming Soon
The fourth generation of
networking, which was released in

7. Advantages of 5G Technology
ï§ 5G will enable to download a movie in
seconds(4s to 40s).
ï§ A big leap forward in virtual and augmented
reality applications.
ï§ 5G expected the data rates beyond 5gbps and
will provide higher broadband density to the
users.
ï§ Lower battery consumption.
ï§ Provide uninterrupted and consistent
connectivity.
ï§ Detect natural disasters more accurately.
8. Disadvantages of 5G technology
ï§ As increase in frequency the dropping of
signal is more.
ï§ In rainy season or humidity in air this may
cause 5G signal more weaker.
ï§ Need high cost to developing infrastructure.
ï§ Security and privacy issues.
ï§ Maybe, any of your old devices would not
competent to 5g, hence you have to replace
with new one.
