The full arrival 5G, the mobile Internet standard that will give us mobile data at speeds of up to 20 Gbps, has been scheduled for 2020. And marketplace, it seems that the deadlines will be met, as the development of the first 5G independent network has been completed.
3GPP, the organization in charge of approving cell phone standards, has already approved the definitive standard that works in a non-dependent way, that is, it is not using the existing 4G / LTE networks.
The first autonomous 5G network
The 5G, which has been gaining popularity for some years, is a new standard that will soon replace the 4G / LTE we currently use in our mobile phones.
The 5G connection will be twice as fast as the 4G / LTE connections and could be a solution to the problems of fixed cable networks, and could also be implemented inside the residences, especially for Internet of Things.
The development of the first independent network directly implies that Qualcomm and other manufacturers will begin to develop and release chips, modems and other equipment components that use the specifications.
Therefore, when this technology has a large enough network in the future, there will be enough devices so that it is expanded enough to be used regularly.
When will 5G arrive?
With a little luck, we could see mobiles in 2019, when the first operators probably already have networks of this type in mature phase, in countries like the United States or China.
This also means that governments will have to organize everything to the new standard, which means, of course, a new computerized auction of dividends and frequencies.
