5G is the fifth generation of mobile telecommunications networks, representing a significant step in the evolution of today's fourth generation LTE networks. 5G is designed to handle the very large increase in data traffic and connectivity used in today's modern society, including the Internet of Things with billions of interconnected devices, and enabling future innovation.
5G uses radio frequency (RF) energy to transmit and receive voice and data, ensuring connectivity in places where people live and stay.
In addition to providing faster connections and greater capacity, a very important benefit of 5G networks is their fast response time, also known as latency.
Latency is the time it takes devices to respond to each other over a wireless network. The typical response time for 3G was 100 milliseconds, for 4G it is around 30 milliseconds, and for 5G it will be 1 millisecond. This opens up a whole new world of applications.
