The 5G technology is expected to provide a new (much wider than the previous one) frequency bands along with the wider spectral bandwidth per frequency channel. As of now, the predecessors (generations) mobile technologies have evidenced substantial increase in peak bitrate. 

uses:

  • High increased peak bit rate
  • Larger data volume per unit area (i.e. high system spectral efficiency)
  • High capacity to allow more devices connectivity concurrently and instantaneously
  • Lower battery consumption
  • Better connectivity irrespective of the geographic region, in which you are
  • Larger number of supporting devices
  • Lower cost of infrastructural development
  • Higher reliability of the communications

5G will build on the foundation created by 4G LTE. It’s going to allow people send texts, make calls, and browse the web as always—and it will dramatically increase the speed at which data is transferred across the network. 5G will make it easier for people to download and upload Ultra HD and 3D video. It will also make room for the thousands of internet-connected devices entering our everyday world. Just imagine upgrading your data connection from a garden hose to a fire hose. The difference will be noticeable.Typically when a new mobile wireless technology comes along (like 5G), it’s assigned a higher radio frequency. For instance, 4G occupied the frequency bands up to 20 MHz. In the case of 5G, it will likely sit on the frequency band up to 6GHz. The reason new wireless technologies occupy higher frequencies is because they typically aren’t in use and move information at a much faster speed. The problem is that higher frequency signals don’t travel as far as lower frequencies, so multiple input and output antennas (MIMOs) will probably be used to boost signals anywhere 5G is offered.

Today mobile subscribers are spread all over the world, they use both voice and data services infact the demand for higher data speed service is increasing. 5G is an advanced wireless network technology in mobile telecommunications the download speed is expected to be around 1gbps. Such a speed tells us it's main objective is focused on higher data transmission rates per second. There are always pros and cons in every human invention.

5G networks will use a type of encoding called OFDM, which is similar to the encoding that LTE uses. The air interface will be designed for much lower latency and greater flexibility than LTE.

Similar to 4G and 3G before it, 5G is a wireless connection built specifically to keep up with the proliferation of devices that need a mobile internet connection. It’s not just your phone and your computer anymore, either. Home appliances, door locks, security cameras, cars, wearables, dog collars, and so many other inert devices are beginning to connect to the web. Gartner predicts that 20.8 billion devices will be connected to the Internet by 2020. By comparison, there are currently an estimated 6.4 billion connected devices in the world. That’s a lot more devices asking for a quick connection.

5G Stands for 5th Generation in mobile technology . By the establishment of 5G , data transfer speed reach upto 10 Gbps through air .

5G (5th generation mobile networks or 5th generation wireless systems) denotes the proposed next major phase of mobile telecommunications standards beyond the current 4G/IMT-Advanced standards. 5G planning includes Internet connection speeds faster than current 4G, and other improvements.

 

5G is the fifth-generation wireless broadband  technology based on the IEEE802.11ac standard.5G will provide better speeds and coverage than the current 4G. 5G operates with a 5Ghz signal and is set to offer speeds of up to 1 Gb/s for tens of connections or tens of Mb/s for tens of thousands of connections

1970 – 1980

During 1G Wireless phones are used for voice only.

2G

Digital Narrow band circuit data

9.6/14.4 Kbps

TDMA,CDMA

1990 to 2000

2G capabilities are achieved by allowing multiple users on a single channel via multiplexing. During 2G Cellular phones are used for data also along with voice.

2.5G

Packet Data

171.2 Kbps(peak) 20-40 Kbps

GPRS

2001-2004

In 2.5G the internet becomes popular and data becomes more relevant.2.5G Multimedia services and streaming starts to show growth. Phones start supporting web browsing through limited and very few phones have that.

3G

Digital Broadband Packet Data

3.1 Mbps (peak) 500-700 Kbps

CDMA 2000 (1xRTT, EVDO) UMTS, EDGE

2004-2005

3G has Multimedia services support along with streaming are more popular. In 3G, Universal access and portability across different device types are made possible. (Telephones, PDA’s, etc.)

3.5G

Packet Data

14.4 Mbps (peak) 1-3 Mbps

HSPA

2006 – 2010

3.5G supports higher throughput and speeds to support higher data needs of the consumers.

4G

Digital Broadband Packet All IP Very high throughput

100-300 Mbps (peak) 3-5 Mbps 100 Mbps (Wi-Fi)

WiMAX LTE Wi-Fi

Now (Read more on Transitioning to 4G)

Speeds for 4G are further increased to keep up with data access demand used by various services. High definition streaming is now supported in 4G. New phones with HD capabilities surface. It gets pretty cool. In 4G, Portability is increased further. World-wide roaming is not a distant dream.

5G

Not Yet

Probably gigabits

Not Yet

Soon (probably 2020)

Update: Samsung conducts tests on 5G

Currently there is no 5G technology deployed. When this becomes available it will provide very high speeds to the consumers. It would also provide efficient use of available bandwidth as has been seen through development of each new technology.
