Is 5G Really Worth The Massive Time And\nMoney?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was\ninevitable that 4G mobile networks would eventually get upgraded to 5G. At this\nexact moment the networks are being installed in major metropolitan areas\naround the world, slowly blanketing the most populated areas. Yes, 5G is going to be significantly faster than 4G<\/a>, with download speeds that can potentially\nreach 1 \u2013 2 gigabytes a second. Although these speeds won\u2019t be standard, the\npotential for exceeding a gigabyte a second does exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But 5G\nnetworks, although extremely fast, come with some serious drawbacks. One of the\nmost significant is the time and effort required to make a network possible. 5G\noperates on an extremely high frequency, which means that radio waves are weak,\nand very easy to disrupt. Lower frequency waves are capable of traveling far, and\npenetrating structures. This made installing the slower networks an easier\ntask. 5G, on the other hand, fails to even penetrate a building\u2019s<\/a> pane of\nglass in a window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 5G Conundrum<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technically,\n5G covers a wide range of frequencies. The most widely applicable is not far\nremoved from what is classed as 4G, and offers modest download speeds of around\n100 \u2013 400 megabits per second. This is fine if a user only intends on accessing\nreal money pokies NZ<\/a> on their device. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But at\nthe higher end of the spectrum is where 5G really begins to offer an\nexceptional bump in speeds. However, the higher the frequencies, the more\ndifficult it is to utilise the technology. In order to make the higher speeds\nviable, it is required that multiple relay devices be installed in a grid\nacross an area. Each is the size of a pizza box, meaning that the relays are\nnot physically overbearing. However, deciding where each relay should be\ninstalled is a tedious, extremely time consuming task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As\ninvestors have begun to cover major cities with relays, the costs have been\nthrown into the stratosphere. So much so that critics have begun to question if\n5G is really necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5G Benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nbiggest benefits of 5G are, of course, the speeds, and the extremely low\nlatency. This means that the travel time of data between a device, and a tower,\nis so low as to be almost imperceptible. But as it stands, there are very few\nservices that will actually benefit from the 5G advantages. Live video\nstreaming and other such advancements operate more than acceptably with 4G\nnetworks, making a huge bump in speed and latency almost entirely negligible.\nSo what is the point of 5G?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thoughts\nare that the low latency, speedy communication speeds will have more\napplications with future technology<\/a>. For example, many are suggesting that such\ntechnology will make advancements such as automated vehicles far more reliable,\nand far more viable. The continued network communication of an automated\nvehicle would be absolutely essential, and given that 5G is virtually\nuninterruptable it would be perfect for the task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though,\nbeyond this speculation, it seems like there really isn\u2019t much need for 5G\nnetworks. But only the future will tell how, or if, developers utilise this\nlightning fast new form of digital communication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
