Difference between 4G & 5G?

• 4G

  The fourth generation of mobile connectivity that started to make waves in the late 2000s, making mobile internet speeds up to 500 times faster than 3G and allowing support for HD TV on mobile, high-quality video calls, and fast mobile browsing
• 5G


  The next generation of mobile connectivity that is expected to be smarter, faster and more efficient than 4G, with mobile data speeds of up to 100 gigabits per second, which is as much as 100 times faster than 4G
• 4G


  Will not be able to manage the huge number of connected devices expected by 2020, which is where 5G comes into force
• 5G was demonstrated during the 2018 Winter Games in PyeongChang, making the games the most exciting to date for both fans and participants
• 5G


  • Low latency, which means the time that passes from the moment information is sent from a device until it can be used by the receiver is reduced, allowing mobile device connection to be used as a replacement for cable modem and Wi-Fi, quick downloading and uploading of files, and watching 4K video without buffering
• 5G


  • Ability to fix bandwidth issues by handling current devices and emerging technologies such as driverless cars and connected home products
• The security aspect of 5G still needs to be figured out, as with a greater number of users and improved services, 5G opens the door to a new level of threat, and governments and mobile operators must ensure they have the correct level of security in place before 5G can be rolled out
