What is 5G Technology?
Even if 4G is still current main cellular network, but 5G is already comes out and starts to be used in the market in some places worldwide. Based on this background, 5G Router will also join in M2M&IoT Field step by step. Probably 5G will takes much shorter time to replace current 4G, becoming the main worldwide cellular network. Meanwhile, 5G will push all M2M Devices upgrade to a new lever, such as5G Router/Modem/CPE etc.
What is 5G Technology?
The “5G” stands for “fifth generation” cellular communication. 5G is able to operate in the millimeter wave (a super high frequency spectrum that ranges from 24 to 100 GHz), where the amount of spectrum available for 5G means that data can be transferred much more rapidly than is currently possible. The broad range of technology and infrastructure changes inherent to 5G deployment will create tremendous benefits as well as potential challenges to individual users, businesses, and service providers.
How Fast is 5G?
Of course 5G will have times speed than 4G. 5G Routers will provides a much fast data UL/DL for all M2M&IoT devices.
The conversion to 5G technology and the accompanying breakthrough in speed might seem a bit like going from covered wagon to transcontinental airliner in one swift step.
Operators performing 5G speed trials have reported speeds of up to 70 Gbps. Industry-sponsored simulations have also produced impressive results with data speeds increasing from 71 Mbps for 4G users to 1.4 Gbps for 5G users in the millimeter wave.
Accompanying the uptick in speed is the dramatic decrease in latency. This will be an important factor for new technologies such as self-driving cars and “virtual” robotic surgery that rely on instantaneous communication. With 5G, latency in the 1 millisecond (ms) range can be expected, whereas latency of around 20 ms is typical for 4G.
5G Range
The trade-off for speed at mmWave frequencies is limited range. Testing of 5G service range in mmWave has produced results approximately 500 meters from the tower, meaning a huge propagation of MIMO-enabled antenna arrays would be required for pure standalone 5G deployment.
5G is definitely the most popular word in 2019 and 2020. The whole world is welcoming its fast arrival and brings big change for our life. As for a key part of M2M&IoT, 5G Routers will play a more important role in 5G times.
