5G Infrastructure |
5G
Infrastructure refers to the 5th generation
cellular network that is meant to deliver higher multi-Gbps peak data speeds,
more reliability, ultra-low latency, massive network capacity, and the more
uniform user experience to the users. Fifth-generation
wireless (5G) is the latest iteration of cellular technology, engineered to
greatly increase the speed and responsiveness of wireless networks. 5G
infrastructure is required for the functionality of 5G cellular networks. It
requires thousands of cell towers and antennae to provide uniform user
experience to more users.
The
development of 5G
Infrastructure is a critical step in
the digital transformation of the economy. 5G offers new way of moving data
across the internet, a technology that promises enhanced Mobile Broadband
(eMBB) and Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC). The technology
also offers enhanced mobility, a more immersive experience, and improved communications
for connected devices. For 5G to deliver its promise, it will need to support a
more efficient, secure, and reliable communications infrastructure.
There
are over 130 commercial 5G agreements with unique communication service
providers and 83 live 5G networks around the world. For example, Verizon introduced 5G in 2019 in parts of
many cities with plans to have 5G in around 30 U.S. cities.
Verizon offers 5G broadband internet, called 5G Home, in 52 cities, such as
Sacramento CA, Houston TX, Indianapolis IN, Chicago IL, Los Angeles CA, Detroit
MI, St. Paul MN, Minneapolis MN, Atlanta GA, Denver CO, Dallas TX, and San Jose
CA. Verizon's 5G Internet service will soon be available nationwide.
However,
the cost of using 5G wireless
service, which is touted as the fastest generation of mobile technology, will
not change much from the current prices that customers pay to avail 4G. This
new technology is expected to offer a number of key advantages over the
existing 3G or 4G technology and may even lead to further innovations such as
faster data transfer speeds and ability to connect to wireless devices at
higher bandwidths. It is expected that the 5th generation cellular
network will completely change the way people use mobile phones today.
