Samsung is now ushering in a new era of 5G network technology that is scheduled to be publicly available in the year 2020. It is meant to topple over the 4G network that we’ve become acquainted with for several years now.
While there were others who have already started testing the 5G network, it seemed like Samsung will be the first to reach the advanced stage. Currently, the Galaxy maker was able to reach 1 Gbps of testing speeds with the potential to even reach 10Gbps as they move forward with the new technology. In order to get some hint, we should take note that the Google Fiber Internet Service is around 1Gbps which is enough to cause a commotion among its excited users. Therefore, we can just imagine how it would be like to have the same or even faster speed working in our favorite handsets.
Of course, it’s but natural for everyone to desire faster data speeds. This can be useful for someone who downloads a lot. With such speed, you can easily download movies, software, apps, and other types of media with just a blink of an eye. At present, the 4G network that has become a US staple and has just started to kick in the UK is said to have 75 megabits for every second.
The 5G network is indeed a very desirable advancement in technology that it’s no wonder if more companies would be interested to have a piece of its popularity. In fact, China and EU have already started investing to do their own research making the world of 5G network technology more colorful and exciting as ever to the consumers.
To give a clearer picture of just how much we can benefit from the new 5G network, we should consider several transfer rates possible such as download speeds of 10Gbps and upload speeds of 75Mbps.
5G is actually the wireless network system in the 5th generation. This term is used by researchers to refer to the next major standard in mobile telecommunications after the dawn of 4G LTE standards which we’re currently using.
