When compared to the previous mobile broadbands the 4G enabled an increase in the quality of the video calling, streaming facilities etc, in short the 4G enabled a better enhancement in what is said as a human to human interaction. The main difference in the 5G to that of 4G is in its ability or as a gateway to the internet of things. The 5G is a revolutionary equipment in this aspect of interaction between devices the development of smart cities, self driving cars etc, to say it it will be enhancing the quality of more of a machine to machine interaction.
The 5G utilizes a much higher radio frequency to transfer exponentially large amount of data through air with reduced congestion and low latency, which is the delay before a transfer of data begins following an instructions this technology also enables a more amount of devices to be used in a particular geographical area.4g could support about 4000 devices per square km in 5G this can be raised to about a million.
So how fast will 5G really be?
According to Vodafone, 5G promises device speeds around 10 times faster than 4G, meaning high-quality, ultra-high resolution 4K video calls - the standard used for commercial digital cinema - downloads will be delivered even quicker to smartphones and tablets. Data transfer of less than 20 milliseconds will be standard.
Are we on the right path?
As far as the 5G culture is concerned it can be deployed in different frequencies and the lower frequencies will have more range. In the business cases it is emerging based on the niche. Whenever a new technology is introduced there can never be a universal adoption in the initial stages itself. To some extent this can be a challenge to the digital divide too.
In the longrun there is a large potential in what the 5G technology can achieve. But the government has very little control over the pricing more to say the price of equipment, manpower involved in setting up the system, and consumer prices are not controlled by the government but what the government can control is in the spectrum charges. By law we are to auction the spectrum and a proper reserve price and pricing of the process in such a way which is feasible even for the operators also will ensure the price reduction for the consumers.
Who is bringing 5G to India and how does 5G affect the common man?
In our country DoT has informed the parliamentary committee on IT that the 5G technology trial will likely start in two-three months. Airtel announced that its network is 5G ready, while Jio announced that Jio would roll out 5G services in the second half of 2021.
Well as soon as the 5G is introduced we wont be seeing people driving down the street with driverless cars and autonomous drones hovering over us it will surely take time .In the initial stages it will enhance the quality of the information that you will receive on your phone, the films you watch, it will also help in integrating your businesses. All these things are possible but the pace is expected to be slow although the government guarantees the auctions and the entire process to be over by February of next year. Still the distribution of the network all can take a little more time.
