Its use on smartphones has become an essential part of a person\u2019s daily life, with network providers and developers aiming to provide customers with the best experience in cellular technology. And now the evolution continues, as 4G gives way to 5G mobile internet.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the past few years, the anticipation has been high for the the development of 5G. Well, the technology is here now in 2018, but the first 5G devices for wide release have yet to be announced for the coming year. So, before you can rush off and get your hands on a 5G-equipped smartphone, here are the important things you need to know about the latest mobile network evolution:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-5g-and-how-does-it-work\">What is 5G and how does it work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><span data-src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/c09d79f2314bafc50ee98fdcbf3dcd77.png\" rel=\"lightbox\" data-fancybox><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/c09d79f2314bafc50ee98fdcbf3dcd77.png\" alt=\"5G: The Next Evolution of Mobile Network Technology\" class=\"wp-image-22929\" width=\"600\" height=\"368\"\/><\/span><figcaption>Image Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubefilter.com\/2018\/02\/21\/5g-duopoly-facebook-google-cut-all-cords\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tubefilter<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fifth generation, or 5G, is the latest version of cellular network technology which provides enhanced coverage, speed, and response time, making it a more reliable source of wireless mobile internet connection. This means that 5G promises to offer a way better mobile internet experience compared to LTE.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, 5G technology is not just about a speedy internet connection. It also aims to give developing countries the chance to connect to internet and enjoy everything the world wide web has to offer.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given that 5G is an upgraded version of the wireless networks people are using now, it is expected to deliver the best ad quality experience to date. However, the future\u2019s not all roses. Here are a few pros and cons of 5G technology that users will encounter:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pros\">Pros<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increased bandwidth<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enhanced speed for data connectivity<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduced latency<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cons\">Cons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Costly<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More bandwidth means less coverage<\/span><\/li><li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Possible occurrence of radio frequency problems<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned in the pros above, 5G technology will provide networks with increased bandwidth. But this increase means that each of the cell towers will have a smaller coverage radius. Therefore, networks will be required to put up small cell towers in different areas to provide sufficient 5G signal coverage for its users.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of latency, also known as the reaction time or lag time, it is reduced with 5G. This provides enhanced responsiveness for users, especially in gaming where low latency is often a bane for gamers.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But with all the upgrades that 5G technology offers, it&#8217;s very possible that it will end up costing more compared to previous generations. The added cost may not be applied to the service rates of providers, but 5G-enabled mobile phones will inevitably carry a higher than normal price tag.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-and-where-will-5g-be-available\">When and where will 5G be available?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is expected that 5G technology will be officially launch globally by 2020. However, it&#8217;s possible the technology will come sooner than expected given the speed of its development as well as the investment in its deployment. Limited trials have started already in some test locations in the United States. Verizon, for example, has announced that it launched its 5G trials in selected areas. AT&amp;T also made an announcement that they will start their 5G trials in 12 cities by the end of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the competition getting fierce for the first massive launch of 5G technology, there are four countries currently leading the pack:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-united-states-of-america\">United States of America<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is no doubt that the United States will be among the first ones to launch 5G technology, as two of its biggest networks have already started test runs on their networks. The country also leads in spectrum efficiency, which allows for broadband broadcast spectrum repurposing.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-japan\">Japan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hoping to be one of the first 5G countries, Japan is quickly getting its communications industry ready, especially since the upcoming 2020 Olympics will be hosted by the country. A demonstration for advanced services in security was done by NTT DoCoMo and Sohgo Security Services as reported by the Nikkei Asian Review. It was done to establish if 5G technology is reliable enough to handle effective security for the opening ceremonies of the Olympics.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-south-korea\">South Korea<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Competing to be a pioneer in marketing 5G technology, two of South Korea\u2019s leading service providers are making big strides. Korea Telecom announced in 2017 that it would launch a trial for a 5G network prior to the 2018 Winter Olympics held in the country. Meanwhile, SK Telecom has obtained a spectrum with the frequencies of 3.5GHz and 28GHz in hopes of launching 5G.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-china\">China<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to an estimate by the GSMA, it is expected that by 2025, China will be covering 40 percent of global 5G networks. It was also reported in a study made by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology that 3.2 percent of China\u2019s entire GDP will be accounted for by 5G in 2025, producing 8 million jobs and an increase of 2.9 trillion yuan by 2030 in economic value.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-comparing-5g-vs-4g\">Comparing 5G vs. 4G<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><span data-src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/d592e1bc0bc86675642d4bb2b7e6f660.png\" rel=\"lightbox\" data-fancybox><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"551\" height=\"412\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/d592e1bc0bc86675642d4bb2b7e6f660.png\" alt=\"5G: The Next Evolution of Mobile Network Technology\" class=\"wp-image-22930\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/d592e1bc0bc86675642d4bb2b7e6f660.png 551w, https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/d592e1bc0bc86675642d4bb2b7e6f660-300x224.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/d592e1bc0bc86675642d4bb2b7e6f660-293x219.png 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 551px) 100vw, 551px\" \/><\/span><figcaption>Image Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/5g-speed-network-lte-2018-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Business Insider<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To sum up the major differences between 5G and 4G, here\u2019s a handy table that lays out the main points:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>&nbsp;<\/td><td><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>4G<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>5G<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Speed (Download)<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20Mbps (average in the real world)<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10 \u2013 50Gbps<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Frequency<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.6GHz (at most)<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">24 GHz and higher<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Latency<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">50 milliseconds<\/span><\/p><\/td><td><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less than 10 milliseconds<\/span><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quick-facts-about-the-new-5g\">Quick facts about the new 5G:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mobile phones that will be 5G-capable are expected to start surfacing early in 2019.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 5G standard was finalized in June 2018.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">LG announced on August 14 that it is planning to develop the \u201cfirst true 5G phone\u201d which features 5G technology integrated fully into the device\u2019s design instead of just as an \u201cadd-on\u201d feature.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s another exciting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellotech.com\/ces-2018-roundup-revolutionary-tvs-5g\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">technology revolution<\/a> that\u2019s waiting to happen once 5G truly gets off the ground.
