It is said that the life of mankind will never be the same as it is now after the arrival of 5G. There might be uncertainties about the 5G; this is why let’s talk about 5G. The future seems promising with the arrival of 5G. You would be able to download movies in seconds, remote surgeries would be conducted by the doctors, and the self-driving cars will become smarter and safer. There are also few suspicions about the 5G as there will be more security breaches, health problems, and privacy issues.
What is 5G?
Most of the masses around the world are familiar with the 3G and 4G. The next generation is known after the name 5G. 5G is the future of mankind and it is already available in a few countries like South Korea, China, the UK, the USA, and Germany. The new 5G phones are in the pipeline and Samsung has already released its 5G phone in 2019.
How 5G Works?
5G works under the wide range of millimeter radio waves, which start from the lower end and these waves are already used by us on TV and Wi-Fi. These waves are just different in a way that these are shorter in length and can travel with greater speed and have the ability to carry more information. This working of 5G shows the importance of it for humans.
Why we Need 5G?
Capacity Issues:
Our mobile phones lack the capacity to accommodate the growing number of devices. The number of mobile phones is ever increasing and we do not have the ability to cope with this pace. Sooner, mobile phones will run out of capacity.
Money Generation:
Money is one of the important factors behind the innovation and progress of mankind. With the arrival of 5G; a lot of businesses will witness boost and money will be made by providing licenses to the companies. In the same manner, companies will earn money from the masses by providing services and people will get employment with the boom in business.
Innovation:
Human beings always work hard to bring innovation in almost all fields of life. 5G will bring with it many smart devices and types of equipment. We will be able to witness smart speakers, better exercise equipment, and more refined computers.
Coverage Issues in 5G:
It is speculated that we may face coverage issues with the 5G. It is already discussed that 5G has a shorter wavelength. The shorter wavelength carries hefty information and travels faster but these waves can be easily blocked by the trees and walls coming in the way. Moreover, the transmitter used in the 4G covers the large area but it is not the case in the 5G. This entails that we would need more transmitters to fulfill the total need. According to one estimate, there will be need to install one million new towers in the US alone. This is a very long project and surely not an icing on the cake.
Political Obstacles:
There are many companies in the race of 5G but there is one name highlighted more than all, which is a Chinese private tech giant company “Huawei”. Huawei is leading the race of 5G and bidding all over the world to set up 5G. Huawei is accused by many countries as a puppet in the hand of the Chinese government. Many countries have already banned the Huawei in their vicinities for the 5G. This list includes Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Taiwan, and the US. These countries consider it a threat to their privacy. It is evident with the wonders of the 5G that the privacy of a person is at stake if not handled properly.
Whatsoever, 5G is the future and it is here to stay!
