Why Now Is the Time to Switch to 5G

Details
The rollout of 5G might have taken longer than expected, but networks are already up and running across the country. In addition, this revolutionary technology has the potential to offer speeds 100 times faster than 4G networks, delivering seamless remote connectivity even in isolated areas. With its incredible capabilities, 5G promises to make technology that once seemed like science fiction possible.

 

What Is 5G?
5G is the fifth generation of wireless data technology and represents a substantial leap forward. The newest networks already consistently deliver speeds twice as fast as the most advanced LTE technology, and some even exceed 10 gigabits per second.


Along with high speeds and massive bandwidth, 5G also has practically no latency. These qualities mean businesses in every field will be able to connect machines and people like never before.


The Spread of 5G
Carriers are still building their 5G networks, with connectivity already available to approximately 75% of American businesses. As adoption rates accelerate, this coverage will rapidly increase. As a result, 5G coverage will extend to the entire country within just a few years. Speeds and bandwidth will also gradually improve as carriers bring new capabilities online and refine their services.


As these services come online, early adopters will be poised to reap the maximum benefits of 5G wireless. In addition, businesses that have already invested in new hardware and begun integrating new capabilities into their systems may already be offering advanced services while their competitors lag.


The Benefits of 5G
The superior bandwidth and dependable remote connectivity 5G offers will enable businesses to deploy IoT technology to track deliveries, monitor automated assembly lines, and even collect real-time data from cameras, sensors, or signage. Doctors will be able to provide remote consultations with patients on the other side of the world and watch test results LIVE.


5G is also set to revolutionize the automotive industry, enabling self-driving cars to process massive amounts of data in real-time. In addition, game designers will be able to introduce groundbreaking new technologies, including wholly immersive online multiplayer VR experiences.
