What are the advantages of 5G, the mobile network of the future?

A speed and very high speed hitherto unrivaled

Speed is the largest asset of 5G: we are now talking about "ultra-haut-debit".Thanks to it, the Internet connection will be much faster and efficient than with 4G, thus bringing a concrete solution to the explosion of traffic and mobile data.

Manufacturers of smartphones and mobile operators have more and more models and packages compatible with this new technology.As proof, even before it is available, the main concern of consumers is to know what are the best 5G smartphones on the market.

In parallel, 5G promises a significant rise in flow: up to 10 times faster.As a reminder, the average 4G speed was 41.5 Mb/s in 2019.At the launch of 5G, operators will guarantee a minimum speed of 100 Mb/s.Ultimately, users could benefit from a speed reaching 1 GB/s in reception and 300 Mb/s in broadcast, which is considerable.

5G also improves latency, that is to say the delay that flows between the moment when the user performs a command and the one when the data appears on the screen.By dividing this period by 10 (from 10 to 1 ms)))), it will offer increased responsiveness which will not fail to transform current uses.

We can, for example, download a video in ultra-heating-define in less than a second on its mobile device.In the same way, we can access many services acclaimed by the general public such as video streaming, more popular than ever in 2020, cloud gaming or VR (virtual reality)))) in a much more fluid and rapid way.

Without forgetting the different web interfaces (websites, software, applications)))) that will offer optimal user experience with very high connection speed and a considerable reduction in waiting times.

A fully connected environment (IoT))))

A 100% connected future: it is in a way the raison d'être of the deployment of 5G.

Connected objects (which is often included in the name "Internet of Things")))) have already largely immisted in our daily life.In 2019, there were no less than 8 billion in the world.In 2025, they will be nearly 50 billion, largely contributing to the explosion of mobile traffic.

Today, the technology linked to these connected objects allows you to enjoy more safety and comfort at home thanks to home automation: household appliances, heating system, ventilation, lighting...Not to mention the field of health or leisure in which connected objects have revolutionized the uses.

Tomorrow is our whole environment that will be inter-connected.Starting with the autonomous car (operating without driver)))): with 5G, it will be for example possible to limit braking distances or detect in real time any obstacle on the road thanks to a much faster processing and transmission of information.Vehicles will also have the opportunity to communicate with each other in a completely autonomous way.

This ultra-connectivity must be able to rely on a reliable and efficient network to support a larger number of users and devices connected simultaneously (home automation, cameras, GPS, etc..))))

Again, this is one of the major promises of 5G: a connection density multiplied by 10, or at least 1 million devices connected per km2, all without loss of speed or overload of the network.

The advantages of 5G for industry and businesses

We mentioned it above, the challenges of 5G far exceed simple uses for individuals.In addition to technological developments, the needs of companies are constantly increasing: technology must allow them to do more, faster and better.

The impact of 5G on industry

5G will allow the emergence of new professional uses, in the tele-medicine in particular.Remote surgical operations will indeed need a reliable, fast and reactive network.

Cette inter-connexion entre les machines et les systèmes s'applique également au domaine de l'automobile (voiture autonome)))), de l'industrie 4.0 (pilotage à distance, automatisation industrielle)))) et même de la ville intelligente (amélioration des services urbains, maîtrise énergétique, mobilité, etc.)))).

The challenges of telework connectivity

Companies have never been so connected as in the current context.Connectivity plays an essential role in pursuing their activity.Which raises, in parallel, the question linked to the reduction of the digital imprint.

Thanks to a rate 5 times higher and a download speed multiplied by 7, the 5G optimizes collaborative working methods and the continuation of the activity at a distance.It allows employees to exchange large files, edit them and share them much faster.

In parallel, the increase in flow reduces the energy consumption of mobile devices, which creates a positive impact on the autonomy of the batteries and the lifespan of the devices.

5G thus offers new perspectives to companies by allowing them to be more productive, to promote remote communication methods and to extend the use of their strategic tools to all mobile devices.

Best user experience, improvement of competitiveness for businesses, access to ever more innovative mobile services: these are the major promises of 5G.In the coming months to come, operators will therefore tackle their antennas everywhere on France.If most of them have already opened their network in major cities, it will be necessary to wait until 2023 for 5G to fully expresses its potential.
