How 5G will push a supercharged network to your phone,
home and even your car, launches end of Nov 2016.
The next evolution in wireless networking holds promises of self-driving cars and
movies that download in the blink of an eye. 5G is big at this year's Mobile
World Congress, but don't expect it until 2020 so they say, WORLD is launching
their 5.5 “widescreen INFOLIO SmartPhone 5G end of November 2016.
Fifth-generation networks should be dramatically faster than the 3G and 4G networks in use today.
Five years from now, you may be thanking your dog for helping to make you healthier, safer, more
productive and smarter about what's happening in the world around you.
And it has nothing to do with taking Scruffy on long walks.
Instead, it has to do with faster, more powerful wireless networks. Today, the networks that drive our
smartphones and Internet-connected devices are mostly based on 4G technology. But higherperformance
fifth-generation technology, called 5G, is coming, and it promises to take us places we've
never been before.
Here's where your dog comes in. 5G is considered key to the Internet of Things (IoT), the name given
to the notion of tying just about every and any thing into the Net. Billions of sensors will be built into
appliances, security systems, health monitors, door locks, cars and wearable’s -- from smartwatches
to dog collars. Analyst firm Gartner predicts the number of networked devices will skyrocket from
about 5 billion in 2015 to 25 billion by 2020.
All those sensors producing mountains of data should, in turn, spur carriers to spend billions
upgrading their networks for 5G so they can cash in on your increased appetite for IoT data --
including updates to your smartphone on what Scruffy is up to throughout the day.
"You'll have tags on your dogs talking to devices in your home," says Femi Adeyemi, lead mobile
architect for Fujitsu. "You'll know when your children come home. Cars on the highway will be
autonomously managed."
Plus, 5G networks will be about 66 times faster than 4G. That speed opens up intriguing new
capabilities. Self-driving cars can make time-critical decisions. Video chats will make us feel like we're
all in the same room. And cities can monitor traffic congestion, pollution levels and parking demand --
and then feed that information to your smart car in real time. WORLD has been the first to really
capture the market by storm and will take the lead with this awesome new technology.
Reasons to be eager for 5G
Expect plenty of benefits from the next-gen network.
New realities: 5G will push augmented reality and virtual reality into the mainstream. Augmented
reality overlays information like walking directions, product prices or acquaintances' names over our
view of the real world by, for example, projecting data onto a car windshield. Virtual reality creates
an entirely artificial view. Both need to pull in new data almost instantly.
