Background-
Brief History of Data Transmission
A government panel report points out that with 5G, the peak network data speeds are expected to be in the range of 2-20 Gigabit per second (Gbps). This can help in good governance and can lead to higher economic growth in India.
Difference between 4G and 5G-
5g |
4g |
5G uses utilises much higher radio frequencies of 28 ghz. |
4G uses lower reading frequencies of 700 mhz to 2500 mhz. |
5G transfer more data over the air at faster speeds. |
4G speed is lesser with less data transfer. |
5G has lower latency i.e the delay before a transfer of data begins following an instruction. Latency for 5G is predicted to be below 10 milliseconds, and in best cases around 1 millisecond. |
4G has higher latency as compared to 5G. Latency for 4G is around 20-30 milliseconds. |
5G uses millimetre wave spectrum which enables more devices to be used within the same geographic area supporting around one million per square kilometre. |
4G support lesser number of devices of about 4,000 devices per square kilometre. |
5G uses a new digital technology that improve coverage, speed and capacity. |
4G has led to more congestion and lesser coverage as compared to 5G. |
Various advantages of 5G technology:
TH EDITORIAL-India’s 5G leap is about powering tomorrow
The revolution that 4G technology ushered in can be enhanced but the nation cannot gloss over the digital divide.
Thus, 5G is essential but are we ready for it?
