5G is expected to contribute up to $12.3 million of the global output in 2035, as it is set to amplify data transmission and connectivity that is vital for the IoT and connected devices of the future. Smartphone Applications, which are the future of personal technology, are also set to get innovative, with high clarity display options and rich media content that can be developed for the mobile applications of all strata, with 5G enabling them. The instant transmission of data also finds application in remote control of mechanical equipment and high-efficiency GPS tracking.
Overall, the advent of 5G is highly anticipated as it is set to accelerate the tech revolution, especially at the app development level, through the below mentioned factors:
- 4G, during its release was faster than 3G, with an average of 20Mbps speed, leading to its global spread and acceptance. 5G is expected to unleash even higher internet speeds, of up to 10-50 GBPS, displaying the massive potential, compared to 4G. It has achieved speeds of up to 1 Terabyte per second in test environments and an average of 2.8Gbps in real-world simulations.
Application developers find great potential in 5G with the palette of features it offers. The wide scope of features that can be accessed in 5G enabled smartphones provides access to features such as Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality, attracting new users to 5G technology. We need to equip ourselves suitably to embrace the 5G technology and enjoy the superior performance of this improved networking regime. Get 5G and gain access to ultra-fast internet speeds at your fingertips.
