The 5G network, a technology still in development, is the successor to the 4G mobile phone network, whose mission is to streamline the Internet browsing and downloading experience. Large phone companies such as Samsung and Ericsson announced in late 2014 that they would begin a series of tests involving the 5G network as a solution to the problems plaguing wireless navigation companies today. Many of the experiments carried out have reached a maximum speed of 5gbps, but the prototypes designed have given more than satisfactory results for most of the companies that have joined this important project.
In Korea, 7gbps was reached, with a stable connection, while in a moving vehicle. However, in the UK the highest speed was achieved, expressed at 1tbps. This boils down to a hopeful possibility that downstream speeds will be blazing fast in the future, with powerful stability. The frequencies used in these tests range from 26 to 38 Ghz, a band somewhat far from the reality of the 4G network, which uses a frequency between 800 MHz and 2.6 GHz.
Not only smartphones will be the devices that can use this technology, but also cars, televisions, wearables and those devices that are developed for when its deployment begins. Most companies set their goals in 2020, therefore, they allocated 2015 for the design of prototypes, 2016 for small tests, 2017 for international treaties that regulate certain aspects, and the remaining two years for standardization. and final adoption of this system throughout the planet.
