How fast is 5G

5G IS FAST!!!! When researchers talk network evolution, “G” is the term-du-jour. It stands for “generation.” In 1940, when the first telephone networks began to roll out, we were at 0G. This was the dark night of deception. It took forty years to crawl our way to 1G, which showed up with the first mobile phones in the 1980s. But this also marked the transition from deceptive to disruptive. By the 90s—around the time the internet emerged—2G came along for the ride. But the ride didn’t last long. A decade later, 3G ushered in a new era of acceleration as bandwidth costs began to plummet at a staggeringly consistent 35 per cent per year. 2010 saw 4G networks unleash smartphones, mobile banking and e-commerce. But starting in 2020, 5G will hotwire the whole deal, delivering speeds a hundred times faster at near-zero prices. How fast is 5G fast? With 3G, it takes 45 minutes to download a high-definition movie. 4G shrinks that to 21 seconds. But 5G? It takes longer to read this sentence than it takes to download that movie. #5G #LEADERSHIP #SMM2019 #WayneMansfield #AussieIcon
