What to expect from 5G data?

We live in an era where everything is based on information and speed. How fast you can access the information that you need, how quickly you can communicate with someone and how accessible the internet is for you, all this is about to get even faster: 5G data is finally here.

You are using 3G and 4G right now, as most of the world does. While they are widely available, they are not as fast or effective as they should be.

They can be affected by the weather, they can drain the battery of your mobile, and they can be very slow in certain areas or buildings.

5G is supposed to solve all these problems and to revolutionize the way we think about mobile internet.

There will be new data plans available soon to facilitate 5G, although it may not be available worldwide too more quickly.

There are few places in the world where 5G is already available, and major companies are making adjustments to their infrastructure to welcome 5G as soon as possible.

What are the benefits that 5G is expected to bring?

Increased speed and bandwidth

Depending on your mobile provider, sometimes you have to wait a while for your movie to download onto your mobile. Also, if you are trying to load multiple browser pages at once, you have to wait for a few minutes before you can see them properly.

If you are only using 3G, the waiting time is even longer. With 5G these problems will be solved, as it will offer a significant increase in speed over 4G, and you will be able to download a movie within a couple of seconds. No waiting time!

Energy saving

If you use the internet on your mobile a lot, you will notice how much battery this is using. With 5G, you will be able to use the internet as much as you want as it will use less than half of the battery that 4G is currently using.

Although most of the mobiles on the market are not ready for 5G, starting from next year, all big brands will feature this option on their devices.

Cost reduction

5G is supposed to cost less both for the users and for the companies providing it. Although it may be pricey in the beginning, until the infrastructure is ready, in the long term it will be cheaper than 4G is now for everyone. 

Higher system capacity

Your mobile can do a lot of things, but if the Internet speed is not fast enough, you can’t enjoy its features at maximum capacity.

With 5G, even the most advanced device will shine, as there will be no delays caused by reduced internet speed. Mobile producers will have to step up to match the performance required by 5G!

How will this affect the world?

You may think that 5G will not matter so much, but it can revolutionize many industries, from mobile phones to self-driving cars. 

5G data will allow people from all over the world to access the internet in a more relaxed, faster way. This may not seem like much for those from developed countries, but there are still many parts of the world where it can take hours to download a song.

More than this, things such as self-driving cars can become more and more common. A faster Internet connection will allow the vehicle to be controlled with ease, and it will help prevent possibly fatal errors.

In the same way, it can improve medicine and surgery, as it can allow doctors from across the world to control surgical robots from a long distance.

With 4G this may not be the safest thing to do, but with 5G there will be no space for mistakes or delays. This is a huge step forward in the world as this ability to help self-driving cars run is fantastic. 

 Almost any industry where 5G can improve the speed of the Information matters.

Will you need 5G?

Probably not, but you will want it. Rationally speaking, most of the users do not need 5G, as it will not make a big difference in their lives.

However, you have more reasons to want it more than anything else before: your entire experience of using mobile devices will change, and you will discover that downloading anything or accessing an Internet page is now simpler than ever.

On the other hand, if you don’t plan on investing in a mobile that can handle 5G, and if you rarely find yourself bothered by the speed of your internet, you probably don’t need 5G. In the beginning, it may be costly to get it, not to mention you would need a new mobile.

Therefore, there is no need to make the change until it reaches the mainstream. Ultimately, it depends on each individual.

Some people may find that faster speeds and higher system capacity to make their everyday activities much easier! While others may not find such a dramatic change in their lives - or one that justifies the extra cost.

On that note, just like 3G data and 4G data, it is likely that 5G data will become the industry standard. This means that in the foreseeable future, all mobile phones being sold will run 5G data - until the nxt 6G data comes out! 

Getting 5G data

5G will change the world and improve it in many different ways, from the average Internet user to the way we drive or get surgery. However, it may not be necessary for you if you are satisfied with how fast your internet works.

In the USA, AT&T offers 5G already in some areas, and they are planning to expand the service as soon as possible. By 2020, all users of AT&T from the USA will have access to 5G. 

In New Zealand, Spark is planning to provide 5G starting from 2020, and from there on it will become available in many countries within a matter of months.
