5G or the fifth-generation wireless technology is all about providing its users with high internet speed and lower latency rate and it is better than the former 4G LTE networks. With 5G it will be possible to download content fast even when one is downloading content using mobile data and the low lagging issue will improve the digital life better. It is expected that with 5G, the businesses will become more efficient and the users will be able to lay their hands on information at an incredibly fast speed. 

What is 5G?

Before understanding what 5G is, it is important to understand about 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G. 1G was the first generation of mobile technology and it revolved around the voice and the superpower to use the phone away from home. 2G added a short-messaging layer to the phone and it is still seen today in the form of texting features in our phone. Then came the 3G which actually gave the required network speed to launch smartphones and it made it easier for the users to update their WhatsApp Status. Then came the 4G network which many of us are using today. 4G gifted the world with high data-transfer rates making it possible to share even HD Sexy Photos within a minute and further, it reduced the buffering time of the video and 5G is the advanced version of all the previous generation of mobile technology. 

With 5G, it will be possible to engage in smooth digital connectivity because it is up to 100 times faster than 4G. This will open many new opportunities for people and the business world and will enhance the day-to-day experience with the digital world. What makes 5G different from the former generation of mobile technology is that it runs on the same radio frequency for your smartphone on which Wi-Fi networks and satellite communications operate. 5G is all about creating a reliable internet connection without lag. 

How Will 5G Contribute To the Global Economy?

5G will be extremely helpful in driving global economic growth. It is projected that 5G will provide $13.1 trillion dollars of global economic output and will further create $22.8 million new jobs. It is projected that the full impact of 5G on the economic growth of the world will be properly understood by 2035. 

A seminal 5G Economy study has revealed that the 5G value chain alone that includes OEMs, operators, content creators, app developers and consumers can support 22.8 million jobs. In addition to that, there are many new applications of 5G. 

What Are The Benefits Of 5G?

Previously, 4G has revolutionized the way in which customers consume information. With 4G, one witnessed growth in the mobile app industry with the introduction of new services like food delivery, e-commerce shopping, ride-sharing and video streaming. 5G will further expand this mobile ecosystem to give birth to new industries. It is believed that 5G will improve the experience of the consumers and give rise to many new enterprise applications. 

In addition to that, 5G will also help in the growth of the business by increasing its efficiency by ensuring that the users are able to lay their hands on the information at a much faster pace. The high speed, low latency and network capacity will help businesses to grow and further, save time. 5G in business can also make the production autonomous and manage the supply and demand chain effectively. It can also be used in logistic networks and provide the users with remote access to the robots. Also, it will encourage people to use IoT in agriculture which can be helpful in growing crops efficiently. 

One of the most important benefits of 5G is that it helps in the growth of smart cities and further, it will make them sustainable. 5G when used properly in smart cities can be used for advancing societies by introducing smarter electricity grids, more connected vehicles and sensors. It can also be used for faster deployment of emergency services too. It is also expected that connected sensors with the help of 5G will be able to warn the people of natural disasters early. 

Additional benefits of 5G include expanding the potential of drone delivery and cloud-connected traffic control along with better emergency response and global payment and it will also take the gaming and experience sector to the next level.
