5G Cellular Networks - An All-Round Breakthrough

What is 5G

5G is the 5th generation mobile network, which enables a new kind of network that is designed to connect virtually everyone and everything together including machines, objects, and devices.

How 5G Works ?

  • Massive MIMO

    Large antenna arrays

    Advanced Antenna Technology

    With massive MIMO, large amounts of data can be transmitted simultaneously via tens or hundreds of antennas.

  • Optimized OFDM

    Frequency

    More Efficiency, Better Performance

    5G can adjust the subcarrier spacing for different frequency ranges, realize scalable OFDM parameter configuration to improve the efficiency. In addition, 5G NR can also achieve aggregating mmWave and sub-6GHz carriers, resulting in stronger connection performance.

  • New Bandwidth

    24 GHz and above

    6 GHz and below

    New Radio Spectrum,High-Bandwidth

    With large amounts of unoccupied higher, short-distance sub 6 GHz and mmWave frequencies, 5G expands channels up to 400 MHz (based on mmWave) and makes the speeds faster.

Incredible Speeds,
2000% Faster than 4G

More Bandwidth = Faster Speeds

5G uses optimiazed OFDM technology to deliver a much higher degree of flexibility and scalability. It can work on sub-6 GHz and mmWave for more spectrum resource to provide an ultra-fast speed up to 20 Gbps.

That means you can download a lot of extra music plus a few big games in the same amount of time it would normally be used to take to download a movie.

5G

up to
20 Gbps

4G

up to
1 Gbps

1ms Latency Leads to Immediate Experience

Fast Response, Lower Latency

With massive MIMO, 1024-QAM, 5G greatly solves network congestion and latency. Based on mmWave, the latency comes to a new level down to only 1 ms, which is 2000% lower than 4G.

Enjoy your online streaming, gaming, and AR / VR with a negligible latency.

Furthermore, self-driving and remote operation would be available.

More Capacity to 1,000,000 per km2

Hyper-Connected with More Stability

Thanks to the key technologies of 5G (massive MIMO, optimized OFDM, mmWave, and more), 5G has vastly increased capacity to support 1,000,000 connected devices per 1 km2, which is 10× compared with 4G LTE. You will get more stable connections although the demand for digital content and services rises a lot.

5G – A Future Lifestyle

With 5G technology, many application scenarios that you can hardly imagine will come true. It will all be made possible by 5G technology whether it is cloud gaming, which has a high demand for Internet speed, or autonomous driving, which have a high demand for response delay.

Q&A

  • What’s the difference between 5G and 5GHz?

       

    5G is the new cellular standard which stand for “fifth generation”. 5G could transform your home Internet connection by delivering speedy broadband Internet service wirelessly, too. Wi-Fi has two frequency bands you can use: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. 5 GHz is the newer one. It’s still part of modern Wi-Fi standards like 802.11ac and Wi-Fi 6.

  • Will 5G replace Wi-Fi?

       

    Instead of focusing on their differences, it is better to say they are friends, not foes. When people adjust to high-speed cellular networks outdoors, they will expect the same experience with Wi-Fi connections at home and office. They will continue to be complementary in the coming years to provide an ever-improving network experience. The two kinds of wireless technology are promoting each other’s development indirectly.

  • Do I need a new router if I want 5G?

       

    Yes, you will need to get a new router that supports 5G if you want to ba able to use the network. You can learn more by click the product images above.
