What we can benefits from 5G?
5G cellular network is starting to do trial test and use in commercial field and daily life now. Many kinds of network devices start to upgrade to 5G step by step, such as 5G Router/Modem/CPE/IPC/ATM/POS/Meter etc. Does 5G really have huge advantages for our applications? Here we can see that what on earth 5G will bring us.
What 5G Technology Will Mean for Consumers and Businesses
While the need for 5G Technology has been driven by the persistent demand of consumers and businesses for enhanced speed, better security, and additional applications, many users remain unaware of the impact that 5G will have on their everyday lives. The most noticeable and immediate impact on consumers will be exponential faster streaming capability. Traditional home Wi-Fi systems connected to the internet by wire or cable may in some cases become connected to direct 5G connections as speeds will be on par with most fiber optic networks.
The impact of 5G on the business world will be massive. Chip, 5G Router/ Modem/CPE, and phone manufacturers are already tooling up for the inevitable conversion. Other industries, such as banking, automotive, and agriculture will see a significant impact from the evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT). Everything from ATMs to irrigation equipment could eventually become part of the vast network of “smart” products. The healthcare industry may see the biggest impact, with billions of wearable devices streaming data to doctors and clinicians, and improved transmission of large data files from one provider to another.
5G Technology Benefits and Drawbacks
As with almost any major advancement in technology, the obvious benefits are sometimes at least partly offset by some negative consequences. While diligent testing of 5G technology has been ongoing for several years, the true advantages and disadvantages may not be fully quantifiable until the transition is well under way.
5G Advantages
The speed and latency improvements that 5G brings are an obvious and significant advantage over 4G as well as all the previous standards that preceded it. Another advantage of 5G technology is the inherent upswing in device support facilitated by the smaller size and more precise directional signal delivery of the MIMO antenna arrays which will accompany 5G.
The improved network architecture of 5G will make handoffs smoother when users move from cell to cell. This will improve the overall user experience by limiting data transfer interruption and lost signals
5G Technology Drawbacks
Much like the inherent advantages of 5G, many of the obvious drawbacks also stem from the shift to higher frequencies and the behavior of radio signals in the millimeter wave. Shorter range and increased susceptibility to obstructions are the most obvious disadvantages in this category.
Other 5G drawbacks are related to cost. The antenna arrays are just one aspect of the deployment costs. These arrays will require maintenance, repair, and troubleshooting proportional to the larger volume of hardware.
Every new thing owns its advantage and disadvantage, but stand on future’s angle, 5G’s advantages is much better than its disadvantage. Of course the Times require 5G develops quickly and becomes the main cellular network in a short time. Based on this background, 5G Router will play a more and more important role in M2M&IoT field.
