5G refers to the fifth generation of cellular technology to provide broadband access. It has a standard for increasing the speed and volume of information on wireless networks. To achieve this, it is based on a set of microprocessors with antennas that rapidly send information packets between them. The 5G spectrum spans three main frequency categories. According to the FCC, the recognized and licensed 5G are:
▸Low frequency: 600 MHz, 800 MHz and 900 MHz
▸Medium frequency: 2.5 GHz, 3.5 GHz and 3.7-4.2GHz
▸High frequency: 24 GHz, 28 GHz, 37 GHz, 39 GHz and 47 GHz
Of these, the millimeter frequency stands out for its effectiveness, which has a great capacity to support bandwidth, although it is more sensitive to external variables and physical obstacles. Low frequencies are best used in large urban areas, mass concentrations, and rural areas.
Studies confirm that more than 80% of 5G technology users trust Industry 4.0 and the resurgence of small businesses. If 5G technology is characterized by something, it is by facilitating the digital transformation of any company, large and small. Some of the benefits that 5G technology can bring are:
▸Excellent network speed that is encrypted between 15 and 20 gigabytes per second.
▸A lower latency that goes from a fork between four and 20 milliseconds of the fiber to one millisecond. The goal of immediacy is much easier to achieve.
▸Greater network security. It is easier to control all access to the network and receive real-time warnings of any threat.
▸The connection of multiple devices without alterations in the connection speed.
▸A greater bandwidth that allows not only to receive information, but also to send it correctly.
▸It facilitates the use of robotics, virtual reality, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things.
▸It favors the automation of processes and allows to rationalize the working day of each employee without wasting time.
▸The conversion is much easier, since the client will hardly need help to know how to acquire a product or service given the speed of response of the corresponding website.
▸Energy consumption will drop by around 90%, an important factor to save on monthly expenses.
