\n 5G Explained <\/h2>\n

5G offers a unique set of benefits to both IoT operators and traditional mobile communication users: It has a much higher bandwidth, higher capacity, and lower latency than 4G. To achieve this, 5G sacrifices range and power consumption, making it virtually a polar opposite to the features of an LPWAN. 5G also comes with network slicing capabilities, which allows only a \u201cslice\u201d of a network to be dedicated to IoT.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n 5G History <\/h2>\n

In 1979, 1G was introduced as the first generation of cellular technology. In 1991, 2G was introduced, which enabled its users to share MMS (image and video files), as well as text messages. 3G mainly brought innovation in terms of bandwidths and latency. 4G was first introduced in 2009 and increased networking speed tenfold compared to 3G.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n

\n 5G Characteristics <\/h2>\n

Speed<\/h3>\n

5G\u2019s speed may be around 20 times faster than the speed of 4G. For the average private smartphone users, this provides numerous benefits. With regard to IoT, most IoT-enabled devices don\u2019t need to transmit large data-files. However, if they do, 5G or 4G may be a viable option when picking a communication standard.<\/p>\n

Spectrum<\/h3>\n

As mentioned, 5G utilizes frequencies that are much higher, which means the wavelength of a 5G transmission is much shorter. This has several benefits for IoT network operators:<\/p>\n
