5G vs The Previous Generations of Mobile Internet

Written by : TNM

The test showed two things mainly

2. 5G is going to be faster than anything we have seen before.

How 5G will be revolutionary

1. Since 5G can handle high frequency bands anywhere between 30GHz to 300GHz, it can carry a lot more data. Compared to that, 4G LTE can only use up to 6GHz.

2. 5G internet speed is easily expected to be 10 to 100 times faster than 4G.

3. 5G will offer up to 100 times better concurrency, which means a lot more devices can be connected without creating congestion.

What does it mean for users

1. Smart devices will get smarter, capable of interacting with each other and the user much faster.

2. Streaming in 4K and 8K will become the norm as you could download large files within seconds.

3. Mobile gamers could enjoy online multiplayer games like never before as 5G offers super low latency (lag).
