5G Network - Technology of the Future

5G refers to the 5th Generation of mobile phone networks. Since the introduction of the first mobile phone network in 1982, succeeding three generations /standards (2G, 3G and 4G) have been adopted progressively say every 10 years. As per the latest technical survey, the deployment of 5G mobile phone networks though started in 2018 will take real momentum in 2020 onwards. It will replace existing 4G networks but in a phased manner. The entire world is eagerly waiting for 5G arrival as it will provide wider network coverage for IoT devices, intelligent devices and equipment located anywhere, navigation of autonomous mobile vehicles, boats and ships, and a much faster data transfer. These 5G deployments will provide very high speeds with  millimetre wave capability. The spectrum in use for 4G communication is below 4GHz, frequencies and hence there is a shortage of free band of frequencies for further expansion of 4G operations. As such,  3rd Generation Partnership Project (3...
