5G available to some devices that supports it, is the fifth and the latest generation of Wireless Communication Technologies. But what exactly is this new mysterious technology? Is it bad for environment and human beings? Is it spreading Corona Virus? The following article contains everything you need to know about 5G technologies.

Technical view of 5G

5G technology uses the millimeter waves or the mid bands in its frequency spectrum. This frequency is apparently the fastest data transmitting frequencies available right now. 5G supports extremely high speed to its users with up to 500 Giga Bytes per second. It is designed in such a way to connect virtually everyone and everything including mobile phones, machines and human beings. 5 G alongside high reliability and a better user experience and availability, also supports little to no latency. This negligible Latency is what separating this technology from its predecessors.

5G VS Predecessors

5 G obviously is far much faster, efficient and user friendly than all of its predecessors especially 4G. Many thought that 4G would be the highest limit of wireless technological advancements. But they were wrong. Now many are saying that we cannot 5 G. But humans never cease to amaze us. Do they?

4G was put into action around early 2000s and it was believed to be 500 times faster than 3 G. Fast enough that it made it possible to connect digital TV with a phone. But now things are changing. Internet of Things is developing way faster than expected. And according to recent calculations, we would have more than 20 Billion connected devices by the end of 2020. So all these new connected devices require some vast medium for their connectivity. This is where 5 G comes in. 5G is 100 times faster than 4 G. Because it can support the speed of up to 200 Giga Bytes per second and easier mobile browsing and connections with other devices inside the network. Low Latency is another key factor that differentiates 5G from 4G. Latency is basically the time it takes the information to be sent from the host to its receiver and become usable for it. So Low latency and ultra-high speed, two main factors that defines 5G makes it the next generation of wireless technologies.

Is it “Bad” for the World?

Every new technology, along with its many advantages also bring many fears for the general public. For Example, when the flying machines were being invented, people thought it would upset the heavenly bodies and will wrath to the world. Or when the telephone was invented, people thought it’s the end of their “privacy”. Anyway, Same is happening with 5G. Many are speculating negative effects it could have and many are spreading fake news. But the reality is, ITS ALL HOAX!. No proof is available up until now that could point towards the bad effects of 5G. So, NO! 5G does not cause the spread of Corona virus nor does it kills the birds.

New things that comes with 5G

5G has made it easier and more efficient to meet the demands of growing connection needs. For Example, driverless cars are now possible with the help of 5G connections. Moreover, we can now control and monitor literally all of the electronic devices from the T.V to the cleaners inside our homes all thanks to 5G.

Although 5G is still in the testing phase, it does bring newer threats as well. With its vast availability and scope, security and privacy threats are also emerging. So the governments and network providers need to figure out the correct level of security so that everyone could avail this new technology to its fullest in a safe and reliable environment.

In the end, all I want to say is STOP burning the towers and spreading fake, untrue news about 5G. It truly is a step towards the future and a greater leap for the mankind.
