Oh yes, 5G! We are taking about this upcoming ultra-speed mobile data that we'll experience.
ITU has announced a timeline for a name, demonstration and distribution while 5G standard is currently in the definition stage.
June 10 to 18, 2015, in San Diego, 12 member delegation sat to draw up the specifications to be established for the upcoming 5G network standard and to set a road map as to how the objective will be achieved.
What' the 5G mobile data's standard speed?
When taking about data speed, the ITU decided that 5G compliant networks will need to provide a maximum data speed of up to 20 Gbps, meaning it's 20 times faster than 4G LTE technology networks.
In the near future between 2018 and 2020, we can just simply download full-length High Definition (HD) movie on our mobile phone in just a few seconds. As from my calculation, this technology can download a movie within 10 to 20 seconds. Imagine!
Though 20 Gbps will be the standard data speed for 5G mobile data, the security researches from University of Surrey achieved 5G's record-breaking mobile data speed way back February this year of 2015. By the way, they achieved 1 Terabit per second (1 Tbps) speed. Wow!
5G for Internet-of-things (IoT) Devices
The specs for this 5G mobile network also serves as a future IoT technology. 5G can at least provide between 100 Mbps to 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps) transmission speed which is 10 more times faster than the typical 4G LTE speed of 10 Mbps only to over 1 Million IoT devices within the radius of 1km² = 0.3861022mi².
"The vision for the 5G network and its global standardization schedule has been agreed based on our suggestion," a Korean Ministry official told the Korea Times. "This has shown that Korea is leading the world's mobile communications technology and related policies."
When 5G mobile technology be available?
As what I'd stated earlier, it's expected to be launch between 2018 and 2020 since it's still in the development stage. Don't be sad, it's almost there! 3 to 5 more years to go!
The formal name scheme of 5G Networks will be call IMT-2020, similar to IMT-2000 for 3G Networks and IMT-Advanced for 4G Networks when released.
The final details for this IMT-2020 mobile networking will be in October of this year with the following approval from the 193 International Telecommunication Union (ITU) country members.
By the way, do you know that a 5G network speeds will be given at the 2018 PyeongChange Winter Olympic Games in South Korea, as from the Korean officials.
