Is the world ready for 5G internet?

Remember the time when mobile phones were just used for calling and texting? Then came 3G and mobile internet that changed the way people used mobile devices. The world came a long way from the 3G days. Right now, there exists 4G LTE from trustworthy networks. But how far away is the world from 5G and what will it be like?

Imagine a world where 1GBps is the average download speed of any mobile device across the city. That is the vision of course. But it is left to service providers to create infrastructures that can manage and give customers these speeds.

Currently in the U.S., AT&T and Verizon have made commitments to rolling out their 5G platform this year. And while they haven’t explicitly stated the speeds that they can dish out, what is known is that it will be faster than the current 4G system.

5G speeds can be a game changer for other devices as well. Imagine if streaming 4K videos can be done so effortlessly. Will mobile devices start incorporating 4K screens to each device as well? Will streaming services take over TV networks? Such internet speeds can even help give rise to self-driving cars as the internet speed can support a continuous stream of data.

And it won’t be just mobile phones that could change. Internet speeds at home will also benefit from this upgrade.
