The invention of the internet is one of the most
revolutionizing innovation the humankind has made. It has not only changed the
way of communication but also completely overhauled our way of interacting with
the world. It's very crazy to think that most of the most significant
technological advancements have been made in the last 20 to 30 years, and it is
showing no signs of stopping now, but on the contrary – it is continuing to
grow even further.
Since its birth, the internet has also been through a few changes like a human goes from a toddler to a teen and hits puberty. 4G internet was like puberty of the internet because it was much better than its predecessors in terms of speed, security, and overall performance. The Wi-Fi also came into being, and it made our lives even more convenient than it was. You were now able to connect your devices to the internet remotely and surf the internet from anywhere. I could go on and on about 4G network, but it would be pointless as it is about to go obsolete. Yes, a technology, once so powerful, will have a successor that will be much more powerful than it.
As we progress towards time, the 5G network will be out in no time and will deliver as promised. The sheer scale of power of the 5G internet can be measured by the stats, which suggest that the 5G network is not a measly 5 or 10 but 20 times faster than 4G. To put it into perspective, if a movie download at 6 minutes on average on the 4G network, the same movie will take only 20 seconds on 5G. This is a big jump and a shift in the paradigm of the internet that we use.
5G market is expected to reach a whopping $600 billion with an annual growth rate of 122%, and most of the growth is likely to come from Asia-Pacific.
