The 5G wireless technology is meant and services will be of great demand. to deliver higher multi-Gbps peak data speeds, ultra-low-latency, more reliability, massive This transformation has not been caused network capacity, increased availability, and by the Covid-19 pandemic, but it has been more uniform user experience to more users. accelerated by it. This accelerated pace of the Higher performance and improved efficiency digitalization of enterprises will become one empower new user experiences and connects of the key factors for future economic growth. new industries. As economic activity moves from analog to the digital sphere, there is one thing that all these Not only does 5G deliver high-bandwidth applications have in common, and this is related and low latency wireless data transmission, but to the purely physical characteristics of the the technology is set to play a crucial role in speed of light which we call “latency”. edge computing. Beyond speed improvement, the technology is expected to unleash a massive Latency means reaction time such as, what 5G IoT (Internet of Things) ecosystem where causes the lag we experience with long-distance networks can serve communication needs for video conferencing, calls and the time it takes billions of connected devices, with the right for a transaction to be registered when you’re trade-offs between speed, latency, and cost. making online purchases; for getting a smooth reaction and good user experience when using Enterprises can take advantage of network applications that are hosted in the cloud; for the edge 5G computing solutions.
