The 5G network will bring about a deeper change and subversion of the scientific and technological lifestyle. Maybe soon, we can shop, travel, make friends, play games and meet at home through VR technology, just like the plot in science fiction movies.
Mature 5G networks will operate at a higher frequency and in a shorter range than 4G, relying on dense infrastructure such as base stations, which enables them to support billions of devices with almost no delay, 20 times faster than 4G. The power consumption of the 5G antenna is also lower, which enables the protocol to be better connected to small battery-powered Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
5G can affect our lives in five main ways. The most extensive influence of 5G will be the industrial and commercial Internet of Things, and there will be greater progress for driverless driving. Once the driverless infrastructure is in place, the streets will become less crowded and air pollution will be reduced. With the emergence of fully self-driving vehicles, the number of people who own cars and ride will become more common.
Because of the low delay and high quality wireless network to realize virtual access, telemedicine will save more patients and avoid wasting time on the road. Thanks to the high bandwidth and low latency of 5G, it is believed that augmented reality and virtual reality can continue to shine and eventually become a reality and a wider application.
