Many have just begun to get used to the speeds of 4G LTE, as the media talked about faster mobile communication technology. This is the next generation of networks - 5G. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has told what speed is to be expected from the fifth generation of communications, which will be deployed in 2020. It seems that in a few years today's mobile networks will look like an old analog modem.
According to the English-language newspaper The Korea Times, 5G will be designated as a network "capable of transmitting data at speeds up to 20 gigabits per second". With such a speed of mobile network users will be able to download movies in UHD-quality in just 10 seconds. For comparison: peak speeds of 4G reach 150 megabits per second, although most people have never used them.
The 5G network will also provide an average data transfer rate of more than 100 megabits per second for more than one million Internet devices of things collected per 1 square kilometer, the ITU said.
The official name of the 5G network will be adopted at the Union meeting in Geneva in October.
Before the mass introduction of 5G, which will start in 2020, a new standard of mobile communication will be shown at the XXIII Winter Olympic Games in 2018 in South Korean Pyeongchang. This will be the first international demonstration of 5G technology.
However, there is still a lot of work to be done before 5G becomes common. Here's what Re / Code writes about this:
One of the biggest problems facing 5G is standardization. Those who are working on backward compatibility with old technologies (4G, 3G) have already made their mark. At the same time, many companies agree with the need to adopt a single world standard. But whether they can get together and agree is a question.
