5G are coming in India. What it's function? (What is 5G?)

5G is the fifth generation cellular technology that not only increases the downloading and uploading speeds over the mobile network but it also reduces the latency, which is the time taken by a network to respond, increases energy efficiency and offers more stable network connections.

When fully deployed, 5G will provide download speed of 1Gbps, which is at least 100 times the existing data speeds. To put it simply, 5G will not only allow you to download the HD version of Avengers: Infinity Wars within seconds but it will also ensure that when watching movies online there is negligible buffer time. And since 5G will a wider area in the frequency spectrum, which is the range of frequencies where technologies such as LTE, Bluetooth, 4G, 3G, etc work, it will ensure that there is no network congestion.

DEPLOYMENT

Deployment of 5G, just like 4G, will happen with the auction of the milimeter-wave spectrum, which is the frequency range between 28 to 100 GHz. This is also an area where India is unprepared and that is why it may not get 5G anytime soon.

In the US, which has been the center of the recent 5G-related reports, three mobile carriers have taken the task to upgrade the existing 4G infrastructure to 5G.

Is It Coming?

Telecos in the US have already started testing the 5G networks in select regions in the US. Besides the US, South Korea and Japan are also speeding to deploy 5G in their territories next year.

For Using 5G Be Buy New Phones?

Yes. When the mobile service providers upgraded from 3G to 4G, customers had to buy new 4G SIM cards and buy new 4G LTE enabled phones to access the better speeds. Something similar will happen in case of 5G as well. Samsung, OnePlus, Xiaomi and Motorola's 5G Moto Mod will all offer 5G smartphones next year. Apple, on the other hand, is planning to launch a 5G-enabled phone in 2020.

Is 5g Coming In India?

Having said that, the telecom regulatory authority of India (TRAI) has started the process of auctioning the 5G spectrum in India. Meanwhile, analysts have predicted that India will fully adopt 5G by 2022.

Samsung and OnePlus have already announced their that 5G-enabled phones will be available in the market in 2019.
