What is 5G data communication?

5G stands for “fifth generation,” the name of the next standard in mobile communication . This standard will replace the current LTE standard (4G). Earlier standards were UMTS (3G) and GSM (2G). 5G will offer greater bandwidths of up to 10 gigabits per second and extremely low response times.

5G will reduce how long it takes to send information via wireless transmission to about one millisecond, or one thousandth of a second . To understand why this is important, consider driverless cars. They will need this fast response time to make literally split-second decisions.

5G is the fifth generation It can provide higher speed, lower latency and greater capacity than 4G LTE networks. It is one of the fastest, most robust technologies the world has ever seen. That means quicker downloads, much lower lag and a significant impact on how we live, work and play.
