5G network as a game-changer for the world of apps
What you need to know about 5G network
5G is the fifth generation wireless cellular network standard and not just modified 4G. Instead, 5G boasts an entirely new network architecture, which has the potential to usher in the Fourth Industrial Revolution and change how network ecosystems function (kinda sci-fi, right?).
Many still believe that 5G will rollout “sometime in the future”, but look at this chart and see current adoption statistics:
Mobile phone applications and IoT growth will expand exponentially, gaining the most from the next-generation network standard.
How powerful? This powerful!
How will the 5G network affect your favorite apps?
Fast, fast, fast file transfer
Okay, let’s compare to previous generations:
1G was about 1.9 Kbits/s
2G was about 10 to 30 Kbits/s
3G was 200 Kb/s to 42 Mb/s
4G is about 200Mb/s to 300 Mb/s
For 5G, think 1 Gb/s to 50 Gb/s
Get 4K and 3D almost instantly
5G can transfer files in the blink of an eye. Think about streaming 4K and 360° videos from smartphones without any lag.
Reduced latency
Delays have always been concerns for mobile users, especially for users who rely on their devices and network to make critical decisions in real-time. Current 4G networks have an average latency of 50 milliseconds, whereas 5G networks will cut the latency to just one millisecond, leading to less network interference and delays.
VR/AR
Get virtual reality and augmented reality in the palm of your hand. AR mirrors, virtual dressing rooms, and much more will become commonplace. Mobile apps will start to incorporate augmented, virtual, or mixed reality into their products to attract more and more users.
Media-rich user experience
When you watch a movie over 3G or 4G networks and then stream the same on 5G, you’ll find noticeable changes in the user interface. The clarity of user interfaces (UI) will benefit greatly from 5G technology.
Navigational apps
Location-based service providers and navigational apps will profit after the complete adoption of 5G cellular networks. Because of greater speed, reduced latency, and improved network communication, location-based service providers can expect additional functionality and visual features. For example, it will be possible to create 3Ds view with popular places and buildings from different countries!
