5G Came to the World When Will it Start in Nepal Five years ago today (April 3, 2019), commercial 5G service was launched for the first time in the world. SK Telecom, the telecommunications provider in South Korea, launched the latest generation of mobile services in the world.
Along with SK Telecom, major South Korean mobile operators, including KT and LG Plus, launched their 5G service in April 2019. Seoul, Busan, and some other cities became the first cities to experience high-speed mobile networks.
After that, various developed countries were successful in adopting 5G technology. According to the Ericsson Mobility Report, there will be 1.4 billion 5G users worldwide by the end of 2023.
Now, many smartphone brands support 5G. Due to this technology, the way people use the internet has changed. But 5G technology is not without problems. With its development and expansion, various problems and challenges have arisen.
In its current state, 5G has various other problems, including these. Having said that, having high-speed internet and good performance are its advantages.
Our neighboring countries, China and India, are successfully using 5G services. The number of 5G users in India is expected to reach 200 million by the end of 2024.
5G’s BTS consumes more energy than 4G’s BTS. Similarly, infrastructure needs to be prepared. Our 5G’s RAN supplier is one, and the core vendor is another. Both need to be connected. It is not clear when the general public will be able to experience 5G, even though testing is being done to connect in this way.
What is 5G?
5G is a world of fast internet, where many things are possible in a moment. In the 5G world, devices will communicate with each other, and an advanced network will be created.
In 5G, the speed will not only be fast; it will take the experience of the technology world to the next level. If you are currently using the internet on your smartphone using mobile data, it might be showing 4G, LTE, or 3G. The letter G written on it means generation. Like the human generation, this is the network generation.
Then, in 1990, came Twoji. Along with the calls, the facility of sending messages also started to be found in it. Also, it could use GPRS, but the internet speed was very slow. GPRS was mainly used to transfer emails and small files.
With the advent of 3G in 2003, a revolutionary change appeared in the world of networks. 3G has changed the experience of using the Internet. Internet connectivity on the phone has become very fast.
4G has replaced the smartphone with a small computer. Now let’s talk about the generation after 4G, i.e., 5G.
By the time you get here, you must be thinking, How fast is 5G? Really, it will be a hundred times faster than 4G.
Let’s look at it as an example! It used to take 26 hours to download a one- or two-hour HD movie on a 3G network.
Behind 5G working so fast, it has the role of millimeter web. It is a kind of radio wave.
Our smartphones and other smart devices are connected through this millimeter-wide web. If there are many smartphones in a location, this frequency gets shared, and the network starts to slow down.
Currently, this millimeter web works at 6 GHz. But after the arrival of 5G, it will increase to 30 to 300 GHz.
If we talk about the 4G network, 1 million devices can be connected in 500 square kilometers. While 5G has the capacity to connect 1 million devices in just one square kilometer.
