5G technology
|
- Fifth generation (5G) of long-term evolution (LTE) mobile broadband networks is the most recent update.
- It’s a single platform with much greater capacity, lower latency, quicker data delivery rates, and better spectrum utilisation than earlier mobile services.

5G spectrum
|
5G primarily operates in three bands, namely the low, mid, and high-frequency spectrums, each of which has its own set of benefits and drawbacks.
|
|
Low band spectrum
|
- It has a lot of potential in terms of coverage and internet and data transfer speed; however, the maximum speed is just 100 Mbps (Megabits per second).
- The low band spectrum may not be ideal for specialised requirements of the business; thus, Telcos may utilise and deploy it for commercial cell phone customers who may not have need for extremely high-speed internet.
|
|
Mid-band spectrum
|
- It has faster speeds than the low band, however it has restrictions in terms of coverage area and signal penetration.
- This band might be utilised by companies and specialised production units to create captive networks that can be tailored to their specific demands.
