5G Technology: Its concept and functions 

5G is the fifth generation mobile network, the new global wireless standard, after 1G,2G, 3G, and 4G network technologies. 5G concentrates on delivering a much faster speed in Gbps with much lower latency, larger network capacity, increase in availability, and provides a consistent experience to more users.

 In 2019, South Korea was the first country to introduce 5G cellular network. 5G comprises of two major components namely the radio access network and the core network. 

1. The radio cell network contains small cells, macro cells, towers, and home systems devices and connects users to the core network.
2. The core network of 5G is mainly designed to handle all the internet, data connections, network slicing, and network function visualization that are included as advanced features of 5G. 

Unlike 4G, 5G also works on OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) mobile networking principles, which is the technique of modulating digital signals across many varied channels for reducing interference problems. 

Currently, 5G is in its starting phase of deployment. All the previous four generations used macrocell towers, as 5G needs a 100 ft tall tower, requiring huge power to transmit covering long and large areas. 

In a network, any data can be carried via air with the aid of radio frequencies. 5G carries higher radio frequencies to carry more information faster.

It is a new type of technology that is built to connect everyone virtually and everything together that includes devices, appliances, and things. 

5G can lead to business growth in the field of robotics and AI. It delivers many applications and opportunities across various sectors. 

5G vs 4G 

• 5G was introduced to overcome shortcomings related to 4G and to get higher data speed, and better mobile broadband services in comparison to 4G LTE.
• The 5G standards are named 5G-NR(the full form of NR is New Radio) that are just introduced, while in terms 4G LTE(Long term Evolution) mobile networks started some decades earlier.
• 5G is 100x times faster than standard 4G and 30x times faster than advanced 4G standards such as LTE-A, around 10 to 20 Gbps data speed is expected achieve by 5G. 
• 5G has lower latency as compared to 4G. 

Future Applications of 5G 

5G can be used as an applications for many purposes such as : 

• For enhancing and emphasizing the digital education. 
• Controlling drones for agriculture purposes using 5G.
• For business meetings and promotion in the small product industry. 
• In the banking sector, for getting the transaction, payment issues are resolved using high- speed 5G.
• In the transport sector, for getting the quicker fastag scan at toll gates. 

Companies investing and working on 5G networks :

The 5G spectrum was recently auctioned in India, in which Reliance Jio won with the top bid of Rs 88,078 crores worth succeeding with Bharti Airtel and thirdly VI (Vodafone Idea), the top three mobile service networks of India. 

Conclusion :

5G deployment is preventing companies from going out of business. As 5G has lower latency, the call drop drawback can be overcome. 

Most industries use 4G based networks, while 30% are 5G enabled. Another concept of 5G is related to safety and network issues, this is due to emf wave radiations that are harmful for our skin.
