5G Mobile Service, An Analysis - What to Expect?

March 10, 2020

5G is a common word nowadays we hear in mobile sector. As of now, this new revolutionary mobile technology is recently deployed in few major cities in US. My guess is we will see rapid rollout of 5G network worldwide including India.

Why We Need 5G Cellular Service - The new data-sharing network that defines so many technical applications would be almost impossible without 5G. As it transmits data more efficiently, 5G has the potential to be 40 times faster and suffer shorter lag times than the current 4G standard.

5G is the next generation of mobile broadband that will eventually replace, or at least augment, your 4G LTE connection. With 5G, you will see exponentially faster download and upload speeds. Latency, or the time it takes devices to communicate with wireless networks, will also drastically decrease.

The extreme densification and short-haul small-cell ranges necessary to achieve 5G generally will make it usable only in dense urban scenarios. But to deliver the high speeds and high capacity that many hope for, 5G requires a deep fiber network very similar to FTTP.

Should you buy a 5G phone in 2020? Best answer: 5G is amazing technology, but it's not yet worth going out of your way to get it. The networks are small and inconsistent, and you have to choose a phone specifically to get 5G. They're expensive, and aren't the best phones available today.

Pre-orders for Verizon 5G Home started on September 13, 2018, and service began October 1. Mobile 5G from Verizon began rolling out on April 3, 2019, and is currently available in parts of 34 cities. Verizon will continue expanding the mobile network throughout 2020.

While 5G is still some time away for consumers, one of the most obvious applications of this technology will be to replace your home broadband service. Mika Skarp, CEO at Cloud Street, says: ""Yes, most certainly 5G will replace Ethernet, but it will do much, much more and it needs to.

The new standard requires a new device. That new device may hit download speeds of 1 Gbps (but only on a high-band 5G network) and theoretically hit a peak of 10 Gbps. That means you will be able to download full-length movies in seconds, but it will also open up a world of possibilities we cannot even imagine yet.

The cons include the following: Broadcast distance/building penetration: One catch is that these frequency waves can only travel a short distance. Just like 5 GHz, Wi-Fi doesn't travel as far as 2.4 GHz WI-Fi, and 5G cellular will not travel as far from the tower as 4G.

Most cellular ‘5G frequencies’ (higher frequencies) cannot even penetrate a piece of glass. As much a s 95% of cellular 5G frequencies are up to 100x worse at penetrating walls, glass, and buildings.

Final word: Technology always changing. What is best today might not remain best tomorrow…2G, 3G, 4G, 5G…..?

    Langoolacharya, Belman / Washington, DC. — It does not matter whether your article speed of light is 186000 miles per second or speed of loose motion — please however first understand the meaning of ad verbum (verbatim) before making random comments! You seem to be "living in a fools paradise with ‘Banji Bene’ syndrome" by assuming it is only you who knows about densification, Small cell , FTTP, Fiber networks! Grow up!!!😂😂😂

    Langoolacharya., Belman / Washington, DC — in no way was there any criticism of your article. In fact, my comment started off with 'Informative', but great to know you deem it criticism when all that was said was: '... please credit the original source ... especially when sentences are lifted ad verbum (verbatim) from published articles e.g.,:
    - "The extreme densification and short-haul small-cell ranges necessary to achieve 5G generally will make it usable only in dense urban scenarios."
    - "But to deliver the high speeds and high capacity that many hope for, 5G requires a deep fiber network very similar to FTTP."'

    To term that criticism, speaks much about comprehension and understanding, eh!

    Good luck with future articles!!!

    People,

    I would like to thank everybody who read my article and commented...positively or negatively ....
    Rita, Shankar and Flavian in particular...

    Shankar, I promise you... I will write an article about Radio Frequencies RF , their applications and their effects on human health....mostly this health lobby scaring people, know nothing about RF...we have people of that mindset here in US as well....

    Thank you all...

    Regards,

    Langoolji,

    To be frank, I was under the impression that you have been using a fake name. But surprised to watch real of you in the pictured. Prominent look with matured personality.
    on behalf of Cynthi:
    The article about 5 G might not have impressed Cynthia so much.
    Her response mostly follows depending on some interesting subject. (Hot)

    Langoolji,
    Could you please shed some light on the health hazards of high frequency, low wavelength radiations? Is it really hazardous?
    Not as a Verizon executive but as our friend.

    Surprise to see you, I'm reading Daiji since 8 years now, since then i always read your comments and famous phrase is TAK ....TAK.....
    thank you sir.

  • Dinesh, Udupi

    The 5G frequency comes under C-Band spectrum normally used for satellite uplink with high power, This RF radiation energy is an concern to health hazards. Its really not safe to use this spectrum.

    Mr. Mathias,

    Plagiarism has cost many their reputation, job and livelihood - most of them in North America and Europe.

    There are dime a dozen project managers around the world. All of them are not technically competent in the projects they manage. Sad reality

    Speedwise good, human health side?

    5 G Electro - Magnetic frequencies / Radiation much more Harmful to human bodies than 4G ? That to under constant and more frequent exposure to EM radiation as its connects multiple devices. Lot of videos on the subject online.

    A super article.I dont understand this 5G Latein.But was happy to see your article and you.Now I know from where this tack tack comes.from ? 5G?will be happy to hear more about your knowledge.

    Nice Article.
    In India, Telecom Industry in the worst stage as compared to the last 20 years and Telecom companies are bleeding with huge losses. A huge amount of Capex required to invest in 5G as well as for spectrum, by seeing current returns, it may take a few more years to launch commercial 5G in India.

    There is a company in Bangalore, Wi-Fi Dabba, which used laser technology and offers speeds of 1ghz at rates as cheap as ₹200 for 200 gb!!
    Even Alphabet is developing such technology!

    It looks very promising, and could be a game changer!

    Informative, but please credit the original source such as Broadband Communities Magazine (https://www.bbcmag.com/rural-broadband/5g-is-not-the-answer-for-rural-broadband) especially when sentences are lifted ad verbum (verbatim) from published articles e.g.,:
    - "The extreme densification and short-haul small-cell ranges necessary to achieve 5G generally will make it usable only in dense urban scenarios."

    5G is not safe. The government and greedy corporate world lying about 5g. Weapon grade radioactive microwave that will become omnipresent in our homes, cities and countryside will be serious threat human health. It's a genocide. 5g will cause cancer, oxidative stress, DNA breaks, anxiety, sleeplessness, miscarriage etc...
    Stop 5G unless it's made safe for human kind.
