With the development of social science and technology, mobile networks have already entered people's lives early. Without it, people cannot watch HDTVS or play games online. It has become an indispensable necessity. Nowadays, people will enter the 5G era, so what is the 5G network? What is the difference with 4G network?

What is the 5G network?

The 5G network is the fifth generation mobile phone mobile communication standard, also known as the fifth generation mobile communication technology. It is an extension of 4G. The most intuitive impression of 5G network is high speed. The theoretical downlink speed of the network is 10Gb/s. It is no longer a fantasy to download several HD movies in 1 second!

What is the difference between 5G network and 4G network?

u First and foremost, the LTE-based 4G network is experiencing a rapid deployment, while the 5G network is only in the research report and implementation project phase, with large-scale deployment of the latter not expected until 2020.

u 4G and previous mobile networks are mainly focused on the provision of original bandwidth, while 5G is designed to provide ubiquitous connection, laying the foundation for rapid and flexible network connection, whether the user is in a skyscraper or a subway station.

u 5G network does not exist independently, it will be a combination of multiple technologies, including 2G, 3G, LTE, LTE-A, Wi-Fi, M2M and so on. In other words, 5G is designed to support a variety of different applications, such as the Internet of Things, internet-connected wearable devices, augmented reality and immersive gaming.

u Finally, 5G will also take the lead in using perceptive radio technology to allow network infrastructure to automatically determine the type of spectrum provided, distinguish between mobile and fixed devices, and adapt to current conditions at specific times.In other words, 5G networks can serve both industrial networks and Facebook applications at the same time.

As people's requirements for mobile network become higher and higher, although there are mobile Wi-Fi, there are still many problems, such as the coverage is too small, can not get to anywhere, and now mobile traffic is very expensive, the speed is not stable, so everyone began to look forward to the arrival of 5G.I believe that 5G will be gradually popularized to thousands of households in the near future, I don't know whether guys look forward to this day!
