Communication: 5G Technology

5G is the fifth generation of cellular mobile communications with revolutionary services, which succeeds the 4G, 3G, and 2G (GMS) systems.
5G technology is the next generation of mobile networking standards and promises to deliver an improved end-user experience by offering new applications and services through seamless coverage, a high data rate, low latency, significantly improved performance, and reliable communications.

Low-band 5G transmits around the 600 to 700 MHz range, providing blanket coverage but offering slow speeds around 50 Mbps.
Mid-band 5G transmits around 1.7 GHz to 2.5 GHz, offering a solid balance between coverage and speed (100-900 Mbps).
High-band 5G operates at 24 GHz or higher, providing the fastest speeds (1 Gbps speeds) over short distances.

Advantages of 5G	Disadvantages of 5G
Faster Speeds: Offers peak download speeds up to 20 Gbps, significantly higher than 4G, enabling rapid data transfer and seamless streaming36.	Limited Coverage: Currently available mainly in urban areas, with rural regions lacking access58.
Low Latency: Reduces latency to as low as 1 millisecond, enhancing real-time applications like autonomous vehicles and remote surgeries12.	Infrastructure Costs: High costs associated with building new infrastructure and replacing older devices47.
Increased Capacity: Can support more devices simultaneously, crucial for the growing number of IoT devices67.	Obstruction Issues: High-frequency signals can be blocked by buildings and trees, requiring more towers for effective coverage510.
Enhanced Network Reliability: Improved performance in crowded areas, minimizing congestion and downtime67.	Battery Drain: Devices using 5G experience increased power consumption, leading to faster battery depletion910.
New Applications: Enables advanced technologies like augmented reality, smart cities, and real-time collaboration tools78.	Cybersecurity Risks: Increased connectivity raises vulnerability to hacking and data breaches due to more entry points511.
Improved User Experience: Facilitates high-quality content delivery and enhances user experiences in gaming and streaming67.	Device Compatibility: Older devices may not support 5G, necessitating costly upgrades for users48.
