WHAT IS 5 G ?5G is a term used to describe the forthcoming fifth generation of mobile network technology. Different stakeholders operating in the wireless networking industry—from equipment vendors to Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to analysts—have widely varying visions of 5G mobile networks. The following are just a few of the expected performance gains on the mobile horizon:

• Up to 1000 times increase in bandwidth, per unit area

• Up to 100 times more connected devices

• Up to 10Gbps connection rates to mobile devices in the field

• A perceived network availability of 99.999%

• A perceived 100% network coverage

• Maximum of 1ms end-to-end round trip delay (latency)

• Up to 90% reduction in network energy utilization

5G is far more than just increased bandwidth; although, that’s what most mobile subscribers crave given our ongoing affinity for mobile video. Some of these lofty expectations may ultimately be softened, as we strive to maintain the essential performance vs. cost balance, but others are more aggressive. However, we have to shoot high for this next generation of critical network infrastructure, right? We’ve got to dare to dream big if we’re hoping to achieve big things.

5G will provide ultra-high-speed links for HD video streaming as well as low-data-rate speeds for sensor
