Wireless companies are racing towards the goal of getting 5G technology. 5G is the fifth generation of mobile technology which has a few advantages that 5G has over the existing 4G LTE (4th generation Long Term Evolution), such as faster speeds when using the internet or download data such as movies or images onto our phone. One of the downsides with 5G is that one 5G station can hold up to 100 antennas. The more antennas, the more likely that the high-frequency waves will be blocked or interfered with. In response, beamforming technology helps the waves find the best route to reach their destination that has the lowest chance of being interrupted. However, this does not mean that 4G LTE will be phased out completely. As of today, a good 4G LTE plan to 5G one will not make a substantial difference in your overall speeds of use. Instead, 5G and 4G will be “working together” for faster internet connections anywhere you go. Even in today’s market, Apple has not even created a 5G compatible phone: the technology is just that new. 5G can also be applied to different areas of technology beyond wireless phones such as robotics, VR, or self-driving cars. The technologies will only be available through time as programmers work to create more innovative products.
