Why is 5G a disruptive technology?

While 4G has been considered as an incremental innovation from its predecessors (3G and 2G), design features and key technologies have indicated 5G as a disruptive innovation. Consequently, 5G will create new market values, in which new services and applications will emerge in unexpected ways .

The technology is called VIDAR™ , which stands for vibration detection and ranging. It is a “new class of wide area sensor system for recording, labelling and visualising objects and events in real-time”, which operates by capturing and analysing vibrations across large geographical grids, using fibre optic cables.

A: Yes, 5G is already here today , and global operators started launching new 5G networks in early 2019. Also, all major phone manufacturers are commercializing 5G phones. And soon, even more people may be able to access 5G. 5G has been deployed in 60+ countries and counting.
