5G vs. 4G
A new generation of mobile network technology is ready to go further than the dreams of its predecessors.
What does 5G mean? Simply put, 5G is short for "5th generation". You will also see the standard called 5G-NR (NRT is marked as a "new radio"). If the first mobile network - analog voice calls, no SMS, no mobile data, or browsing - is not first-generation, then 5G is its great-grandson.
When today’s 4G long-term evolution (LTE) mobile networks were launched almost a decade ago, consumers welcomed a new era of rich media mobile browsing. Representing both the evolution of the 4G standard and the revolution of radio technology, 5G technology promises to transform 2020 into a time of unprecedented connectivity and technological advancement. Higher power and speed, plus ultralow latency, will power innovation that may become impossible under the 5G 4G LTE standard.
How does 5G work?
The previous four generations of mobile networks used macro cell towers, several hundred feet long, requiring extensive power consumption to transmit over long distances.
5G works somewhat differently. This upgrade uses a combination of frequencies from multiple bands to maximize mobile network throughput. In addition to standard macro cell towers, 5G will use an outsized number of small microcells to make a blanket of super-high speed network coverage for the new millimeter-wave spectrum band.
Advantages of 5G
For many end-users, 5G upgrades are all about speed. Predicted 5G accelerates to 10 Gbps, new networks are going to be up to 100x faster than their predecessors
The biggest advantage of 5G in industrial, agricultural, and commercial use is its high capacity and minimal backwardness. With up to 5x bandwidth available, including 4G, 2G encourages new methods of production and distribution. Preliminary tests also show that a 5G network can cut latency by half to .3.3
Use 5G case
The 5G conversion power will touch almost every industry. Incidents of forced 5G use have already been identified, among others in the healthcare, agriculture, retail, transportation, supply, and manufacturing industries.
Media and entertainment
The availability of broadband made it possible to maneuver movies, TV and gaming to the cloud. Now, 5G promises to bring a richer media experience to any screen anywhere. End users will be able to enjoy immersive video streaming in 4K, immersive virtual reality (VR) experience and highly responsive gameplay on devices connected to 5G networks, creating more revenue opportunities for content creators, cloud service providers and communications service providers. Will leading.
Production
The conversion of 5G with AI and intelligent edges revolutionized the factory floor in the way that Henry Ford unveiled the first assembling line. The supply chain, inventory management and quality assurance processes provided by IoT and Edge Computing will increase the level of automation and reduce unit costs.
Retail
Modern brick-and-mortar stores face a final battle to retain customers due to online retail attacks. With 5G, future retailers will power new universal customer experiences. One way? Taking cash registrars out of retail transactions. Using AI-enabled cameras with little laziness, retailers will be able to create an automated checkout experience that is as easy as getting out of the store with your full cart.
Healthcare
For physicians and patients, 5G presents a new frontier of care. Imagine a wearable insulin pump that uses AI to give a patient endocrinologist or a smart implanted defibrillator personalized advice on managing diabetes that automatically and safely restarts a stopped heart. And immediately notify the patient's cardiologist with incident information.
5G 4G with higher power and speed, less agility will power innovation that may become impossible under the LTE standard.
5G availability
In today’s first phase of the 5G rollout, the ranges determined by individual carriers are limited to scope and their locations. In the United States, four major wireless communications service providers have early 5G deployments in multiple cities. While most rollouts involve mobile devices, some have only been fixed wirelessly - this is 5G which works for a certain point like home internet access. Outside of the United States, suppliers have begun installing 5G in various countries, including China, South Korea, Germany, and Switzerland.
While there is some 5G coverage in selected locations, today’s deployments are just a preview of the citywide rollout. Industry analysts have hinted that the massive deployment of 5G, a scale that brings it to a wider user base for both customers and businesses, could begin around 2021.
The future of 5G will depend not only on carrier rollouts but also on device availability. From cellphones to smart city sensors, the wide availability of devices developed with 5G in mind is expected to launch in 2020 or 2021, with new products being created to meet the demands arising from 5G and the onslaught of 5G-enabled experience as technology begins in 2022. .
5G products and solutions
5G experiences are just as capable as a network that supports them. As a computing leader in network solutions, Intel is a cornerstone of the global 5G rollout, many of our technologies are the backbone of cloud computing.
Intel has participated in more than 300 quality groups worldwide and has provided research and guidance for the 5G standard since its inception. Since 5G relies on spectral use across multiple bands, Intel has worked with groups and governments around the world to advocate for the availability of spectrum of 5G services. D
Tomorrow 5G solutions rely on scaling compute technologies to connect wide throughput. With work-stress-optimized performance, Intel Xeon® scalable processors deliver revolutionary advances capable of meeting the data-intensive needs of 5G networking.
5G: Chart the course tomorrow
Earlier today, 5G rollouts were the beginning of a massive change in how consumers and businesses use wireless networks. By connecting devices to the cloud faster, 5G will dramatically expand the presence of IoT with less lag than before. 5G and IoT will work together to enable more connected devices that further automate the business process.
Powerful applications are expected to emerge as edge computing, IoT and 5G conversions. Revolutionary new uses will include personalized real-time shopping, lifelong immersion media, augmented reality and automated robotics.
In the age of 5G, technologies will come together to enable intelligent edge, IoT and AI, to delight consumers, to facilitate business activities and to use scale data more efficiently. With embedded technology at every level of the 5G ecosystem, Intel is leading the way in harnessing the full transformative power of the new 5G standard.
