Following the previous generations of mobile networks of 2G, 3G, and 4G, the latest addition to data communication standards is the Fifth-generation wireless standard (5G) which offers faster data download speeds and better responsiveness than  previous generations. This latest iteration of 5G India will lead to reliable and efficient connection speeds that will change our digital lives! With higher radio spectrum being available, 5G technology enables more devices to connect to the internet on the same network at any given time.

 

What is 5G technology & how does 5G work?

With multiple input/output antenna, and smaller transmitters, the 5G network will be able to boost signals to circumvent tall buildings or trees.

One of the best edges of 5G technology is to empower and optimize the use of available bandwidth.

 

Benefits of 5G Network

  1. Higher Data Speeds - Users can experience faster and streamlined download speeds
  2. Lower latency - Less delay/lag
  3. Increased bandwidth and capacity
