INTRODUCTION

5G technology is the fifth generation of wireless communication technology that is designed

to provide faster data speeds, lower latency, and greater capacity than its predecessors. It is
designed to revolutionize the way we connect and communicate with each other, enabling a
new era of innovation and technological advancement.

One of the key benefits of 5G technology is its ability to deliver data speeds that are up to
100 times faster than 4G LTE, with the potential to reach speeds of up to 20 Gbps. This
means that users can download and stream content at lightning-fast speeds, and that
applications such as virtual and augmented reality, smart cities, and autonomous vehicles can
become a reality.

Another important feature of 5G is its low latency, which is the delay between sending and
receiving data. 5G networks are designed to have latency as low as one millisecond, which is
significantly faster than the 30-50 millisecond latency of 4G. This will enable applications
such as real-time gaming, remote surgery, and industrial automation.

5G technology also has greater capacity than its predecessors, which means that more devices
can be connected to the network simultaneously without causing congestion. This is
particularly important for the Internet of Things (IoT), where billions of connected devices
will require reliable and fast connectivity.

At the sixth edition of India Mobile Congress(IMC), our honorable prime minister Narendra
Modi at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, India, launched and introduced the new and fastest

experts said.

Dynamic Spectrum Sharing: Dynamic Spectrum Sharing (DSS) is a technology that allows
5G networks to share spectrum with existing 4G networks, without requiring additional
spectrum licenses. This will enable a smoother transition from 4G to 5G, and will help to
expand 5G coverage more quickly.
 IMPACT OF 5G TECHNOLOGY ON BUSINESS

How will 5G impacts your business in general

5G is the fifth-generation technology of public wireless networks. It is less of evolution from
4G than a giant leap forward. 4G networks are built with large radio towers that transmit
signals over long distances using lower frequency radio waves. 5G networks will add many
more small-cell antennas connected to buildings, streetlights, and other objects. These small
cells will transmit massive amounts of data over short distances using an ultra-high-frequency
spectrum. This combination of different network access points, frequencies, and cloud-based
network technologies will create the 5G networks of the near future. There are three key
characteristics of 5G network business opportunities:

More capacity

Faster response times

Lightning-fast speed

The 5G impact on the Telecom industry

Modern communication systems have evolved significantly since the days of switchboards
and long-distance calls but perhaps, that is, not enough: regular, one-size-fits-all network
designs have fallen significantly behind in the past decade. The Telecom industry needs
scalable networks that can smoothly adapt to meet shifting demands and must prepare for
expanding use cases featuring connected devices in nearly every industry. While traditional
structures have fallen short of meeting these demands, many of these requirements are
addressed through 5G systems. According to a study, 5G is expected to deliver speeds up to
100 times faster than typical 4G technology. (Source)

But 5G is much more than an enhanced replacement for 4G LTE. It’s a new approach to
infrastructure that introduces modularity and flexibility to an industry that’s previously has
been dominated by dogmatic, purpose-built hardware. 5G advances communication
technology to meet changing demands in many important ways such as:

Higher data-throughput rates

Reduced latency

Energy savings

Cost reduction

Increased system capacity

Massive simultaneous device connectivity

Economies of scale

IMPACT OF 5G TECHNOLOGY ON SOCIETY

The goal of 5G wireless technology is to provide more users with faster multi-Gbps peak data

 DISADVANTAGES OF 5G TECHNOLOGY

1. Insufficient worldwide coverage: The fact that 5G has a spotty worldwide reach and
is currently only available in a few locations is its major drawback. The 5G network will
primarily benefit cities; remote areas may not receive coverage for several years. The costs
for installing tower stations are very high compared to other networks.

2. A smaller broadcasting range: Despite its fast speeds, 5G does not have the same
range as 4G. Large structures and trees may also block the bandwidth of the 5Gbps, creating
several problems. As a result, additional towers are required for coverage, which is both time-
consuming and costly. Rain can potentially disrupt 5G coverage, which requires other
safeguards.

3. Upload rates: Mobile phone users may enjoy fast download rates thanks to 5G
technology, and Upload rates are not much shorter than 100 Mbps compared to 4G.
Furthermore, mobile phones need better battery technology for a 5G connection. Many phone
owners report that when using 5G, their handsets become hotter.

4. Weakening of gadget batteries : Phones that use a 5G connection will undergo

significant power drain, reducing battery life significantly. As a result, producers must invest
in innovative battery technology to prevent batteries from breakage and other issues.

5. Cybersecurity: The possibility of hacking is one of 5G's drawbacks. Hackers can steal
the database because of the higher bandwidth. Additionally, it uses software that permits
vulnerable attacks. The likelihood of an attack increases considerably as 5G connects more
devices. As a result, businesses and organizations will need to spend more money on a
security operations centre to protect their infrastructure.

6. Lack of encryption at the start of the connection procedure : Because 5G

lacks encryption, hackers may organize their assaults more accurately, which will
significantly impact businesses. More bandwidth will put present security monitoring under
pressure, and the network will need security measures to avoid cyber assaults. Consumer
education is required to improve security effectively. On the other side, efforts are being
made to increase security as the initial deployment of 5G begins. Keeping all IoT devices up
to speed with security patches can aid in overcoming issues with the best outcomes.
Furthermore, 5G users need to take additional precautions to avoid difficulties.
 FUTURE PROSPECT OF 5G TECHNOLOGY

 5 LIVE EXAMPLES OF 5G TECHNOLOGY

Smart cities
Network operators are already looking to showcase what can be achieved with 5G
technology, and one such 5G use case is the Alba Iulia Smart City(opens in new tab),
which has been developed in conjunction with Orange, and has seen congestion monitoring,
parking sensors, and smart waste management introduced in the Romanian city.

Smart factories will also be enabled by 5G, including more robots in production lines, and
drones in last mile delivery. It will also enable car to car communication around hazards and
incidents, as well as fully automated cars.

Improved viewing experience at sporting events

Connectivity is increasingly important at sporting events with, as an example, the average
Bundesliga match attracting 43,000 spectators, who consume an average of 500GB – a figure
which has risen by 50 percent over the past 12 months,.

Because of this, some sporting organisations fear that spectators will stay at home if they
can't stay connected. However, existing mobile and Wi-Fi networks lack the capacity for such
densely-populated environments, which is why venues and operators are so excited about 5G.
Research from Amdocs and Ovum suggests 91 percent(opens in new tab) of the world’s
leading mobile operators plan to hold trials of 5G sporting experiences at stadiums, with the
likes of Verizon announcing the 5G availability at selected NFL stadiums.

This will not only increase fan satisfaction, but also enable new experiences. The German FA
plans to let fans view data insights in real time – such as how fast a player is sprinting – using
Augmented Reality.

Telemedicine
5G technology enables remote healthcare services, such as telemedicine, which can be
especially important in rural or underserved areas. For example, the Mayo Clinic has
launched a 5G-powered telemedicine service that allows doctors to remotely monitor patients
and provide medical advice in real-time.
Oil and gas
Centrica Storage and Vodafone have entered a partnership that will build the “gas plant of the
future” at their Easington site, providing a 5G-ready mobile private network (MPN) for the
facility, which will be the first of its kind in the UK’s oil and gas sector.

The new 5G infrastructure will enable Centrica Storage to automate, monitor, and centralize
much of its critical maintenance and engineering operations. Real-time data will enable
Centrica Storage to monitor its facility, streamline operational resources, and reduce costs.
And the 5G network will even improve safety, enabling engineers to use virtual reality
headsets to undertake training and critical maintenance tasks.

The 5G mobile private network will be built by Vodafone using Ericsson equipment, and will
enable a number of industrial 5G use cases, such as connecting workers to digital data and
applications across the entire site, increasing productivity whilst reducing cost, and all in a
much safer

Improving education facilities

Nova Southeastern University is a private Hispanic-serving multi-campus research university,
with around 20,000 students, and its main campus in Fort Lauderdale-Davie, Florida, which
has partnered with Mobilitie(opens in new tab) to deliver 5G to its students.

“We’re thrilled to provide our students, faculty and staff with an ultra-fast, state-of-the-art
wireless network across our Davie campus,” said Tom West, Chief Information Officer of
NSU.

This partnership with Mobilitie, the largest privately-held wireless infrastructure firm in the
US, will enable the deployment of a cutting-edge 5G network across the Davie, Florida
campus of Nova Southeastern University.

The 5G network will cover the 314-acre campus, including offices, classrooms, the library,
residence halls, computer labs and athletic facilities, providing 5G access to students and
faculty.
 WORLD’S FIRST 5G

country has decided to launch world’s first national

5G networks South Korea will launch the world's first fully-fledged 5G mobile networks on
5th April 2019. Hyper-wired South Korea has a reputation for technical prowess, and Seoul
has made the 5G rollout a priority as it seeks to stimulate stuttering economic growth. The
superfast communications heralded by fifth-generation wireless technology will bring
smartphones near-instantaneous connectivity - 20 times faster than the existing 4G. It is
crucial for the future development of devices ranging from self-driving vehicles that send
data traffic to one another in real time, industrial robots, drones and other elements of the
Internet of Things. 5G's hyper speed can connect one million devices within a one square
kilometre zone simultaneously. Until now, no mobile networks have offered nationwide 5G
access. Japan is expected to roll out a limited deployment in 2019 before full services start in
time for 2020 Tokyo Olympics

World’s first 5G substation

Constellation, a smart substation trial from UK Power Networks(opens in new tab), will
utilize Vodafone 5G connectivity to help make them more efficient, and enable the freeing up
of capacity for clean energy, in a bid to help reach the UK’s target of net zero carbon
emissions by 2050.

UK Power Networks is the UK’s biggest electricity distributor, delivering power to more than
eight million homes and businesses across London, the South East, and the East of England.
(Electricity network operators, unlike energy suppliers, who focus on selling electricity, take
care of the maintenance and operation of power lines and substations.)

The Constellation project is a world-first in 5G use cases, and will connect parts of the UK’s
electricity network with high-speed 5G connectivity, with computers being installed in
electricity substations so they can communicate with each other in real-time to improve
efficiency.

Initially the Constellation project team will select multiple testing locations across UK Power
Networks areas in the south-east of England, and at the University of Strathclyde’s Power
Networks Demonstration Centre. And the companies say that it could save 63,702 tonnes of
CO2 by 2050, which is the equivalent of 38,607 return flights from London to New York.
