What is 5G Cell Technology?  How Will It Affect Me?

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, September 18, 2019

5G, the fifth generation of wireless network technology, is the newest way of connecting wireless devices to cellular networks.

Key Points: 
  • 5G, the fifth generation of wireless network technology, is the newest way of connecting wireless devices to cellular networks.
  • 5G technology has the potential to enable another wave of smart devices: always connected and always communicating to provide faster, more personalized services.
  • 5G uses very fast, short-range signals on an unused frequency band to send and receive more total data, within a dense network of specialized small cell sites.
  • A small cell site refers to the area within which this short-range wireless signal can be received.
  • 5G operates on a different part of the spectrum, using bands with little interference, at a higher frequency.
  • This shift to a different part of the spectrum promises better connectivity, but will require a larger number of cell sites.
  • Current 4G networks provide service by broadcasting radio waves from large cell towers to extended areas.
  • The initial deployment of 5G technology to cell towers will likely operate similarly, and many of the gains will not be immediately noticeable to users until the supporting small cell sites are in place.
  • 5G service requires telecommunications providers to convert existing cell towers to accommodate the new technology and then incorporate a network of small cell sites, densely located for maximum coverage of service areas.
  • Setting up the small cell sites can be done simultaneously with the cell tower conversions, but will almost certainly take much longer to reach full coverage.
  • Although some analysts talk of autonomous vehicles relying on 5G, no current developers of these cars are designing with the intention to use 5G.
  • However, those home-related devices such as power and water meters, or smart city sensors that rely on cell technology will likely transition to 5G.
  • Additionally, some techniques that work for 4G networks can be translated to 5G networks, as advanced 4G networks follow many of the same technological principles as 5G.
  • Global Use of 5G 5G standards are largely stable and interoperable in the United States.
