5G technology

What is 5g

You all would have seen 5g phones and few other things related to it buzzing around the world. Well 5g is nothing but the latest and upgraded version of previous 4g or it’s a mobile network beyond LTE. It’s faster and efficient. It delivers more multi Gbps data speeds and more network capacity.  The International Telecommunications Union also known as ITU released much news on standards of 5g networks which refers to as International Mobile Telecommunication Network.  ITU says in their guidelines that 5g networks should have top data rate of 20Gbps for downlink and 10gbps for uplink.

 

What are applications of 5g

5g is the new era mankind has ever seen it will be used in many applications which are available now and which will be available in the future, the central principle of 5g is that one single network to be able to handle many cases of application and uses. Few important uses are mentioned below.

 

5g IoT for Smart City

 Many cities are developing smart transportation system which helps in smooth movement of vehicles and easy routing system for emergency cases.

Connected automobile technology will enable bidirectional communications from vehicle to vehicle (V2V), and vehicle to infrastructure, (V2X) to promote safety in transportation arrangements. Smart cities are now setting up sensors in every intersection to detect movement.

5g IoT for Industries

You have seen in automation industry robots working on things together , all these robots requires wired connection for their working as to go completely wireless the speed is not sufficient , but the introduction of 5g enables the manufacturer to co wireless by connecting to the high speed data network,

 

Enhanced Mobile Broadband

5g guarantees better cloud connection and increased data rates with reduced latency. New applications will include fixed wireless access for homes and other places. When there’s the absence of broadcast vans there is much good connectivity for users who are on move.

Communications

In terms of communication 5g takes a big leap. It makes a connection for devices available for smart cities, hospitals and schools and other organization.  Many communication devices yet to be found and if they are invented 5g is ready to work with it.

Augmented and Virtual Reality

Due to the low latency the Augmented and virtual reality experience is immersive. In the field  of industries worker can put on a AR goggles and explain the instructions or showcase their ideas, in business virtual meeting can be held and in-terms of entertainment case we can enjoy sports and other events using VR glasses.    

Problems arise by 5G network

1.       Security issue

One of the studies done by a formal analysis of 5g authentication conduct by scientists from ETH ZURICH, the universities of Lorraine/INRIA, and the University of Dundee found that criminals will be able to steal data and can hack into any data system because “the critical security gaps are present,” the group says in their press release. That’s in part because “security goals are underspecified” and there’s a lack of precision in 3GPP standard.

2.       Health issue

Numerous scientific publications have shown that EMF affects living organisms at level well below most international and national guidelines. Effects include increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damages, structural and functional changes of the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders and negative impact on general well-being on humans.

3.       Affect on animals and insects

As far as now their’ s a massive distinct in many bird species, which we barely found them. Many 5g network test cause bird to drop dead, due to high radiation it affects the minds by which they go blank for few minutes which causes them to fall down and got killed by the high.

The studies say - “A shift of 10% of the incident power density to frequencies above 6GHz would lead to an increase in absorbed power between 3-370%”. This could lead to change in insect behaviors, physiology and morphology over time due to an increase in body temperatures, from dielectric heating.

4.       Device and installation challenge

The timing of the initial 5G deployment is determined by 5G availability, which is still scare. This is due to several technical challenges, including multi-band support of upper and lower frequency band, that causes design challenges for the front-end filters, it also poses heating concerns, because of power consumption needed to transmit in high frequency bands, and a significant performance impact for higher data rates and bandwidths.
