Everything you need to know about 5G network

      5G networks are the next generation of mobile internet connectivity, offering faster speeds and more reliable connections on smartphones and other devices.After years of hype about gigabit speeds that will let you download full-length movies in mere seconds, 5G is finally becoming a reality in 2018.

latest research, 5G should offer connections that are multitudes faster than current connections, with average download speeds of around 1GBps expected to soon be the norm.The fifth generation of connectivity, pithily called 5G, will be ready for prime time later this year. Software is being tested, hardware is in the works, and carriers are readying their plans to deploy 5G in select markets by the end of 2018.

The new networking standard is not just about faster smartphones. Higher speeds and lower latency will also make new experiences possible in augmented and virtual reality, connected cars and the smart home — any realm where machines need to talk to each other constantly and without lag.The networks will help power a huge rise in Internet of Things technology, providing the infrastructure needed to carry huge amounts of data, allowing for a smarter and more connected world

             Facts relating to the highspeed 5G Network 

• 5G standard was completed in June.
  Qualcomm just made its mmWave antenna modules available to its smartphone partners, which means 5G-capable smartphones that use Qualcomm's antennas will be able to use millimeter-wave frequencies. That means much faster speeds.
  
• The first 5G-capable phones will start to appear early next year. The first 5G devices will be mobile hotspots, which will roll out toward the end of 2018.
  
• Motorola is gunning to be the first handset maker with a 5G-ready phone, announcing the Moto Z3 Play alongside a 5G Moto Mod. The $480 phone, which is exclusive to Verizon, will be out Aug. 16 but the Moto Mod won't launch until 2019, when Verizon's 5G network is actually functional.

Which location in the world is  5G Now

The 3rd Generation Partnership Project, the standards body that writes the rules for wireless connectivity, agreed in December on the first specification for 5G. The Non-Standalone Specification of 5G New Radio standard covers 600 and 700 MHz bands and the 50 GHz millimeter-wave end of the spectrum. That agreement paved the way for hardware makers to start developing handsets with 5G modems inside. But the non-standalone specification applies to 5G developed with 4G LTE as an anchor. 

In June, the standards body completed the rules for standalone 5G. Now network operators can start fine-tuning their software using equipment that complies with the completed standard.

"[The standard] really sets [the stage] for interoperable systems and field trials with operators in 2018, and it starts the clock for being able to build standards-compliant devices heading toward the last half of 2018 and early 2019 launches,” said Qualcomm's Matt Branda, who oversees 5G marketing.
