It is safe to say that since the start of COVID -19 pandemic of 2020, technology and
network connectivity have become and even bigger part of our lives. By reason of the pandemic,
simple human-to-human interaction such as collaborating with a coworker, had to be established
through our devices because of how dangerous face to face interaction became. Now more than
ever has it been paramount that we have the right tools to meet the higher demands of speed,
connection, and reduced latency. 5g technology provides several of these features and more, to
satisfy these demands of our new remote world. A discussion on 5g, what it does, how it works
its usefulness to our society, among other things will be examined.
What is 5g?
5g can be defined as a mobile wireless communication network. Phd students of Óbuda
University, Doctoral School of Safety and Security Sciences, Jelena Pisarov and Gyula Meste
(2020) compare 5g to past networks stating:
Like other networks 5G uses the cells system which separates territories into sectors and
sends encoded signals between the hotspots using radio waves. Each cell must be
connected to the network spine, whether wirelessly or through and landlines. (P.12)
This actively demonstrates how similar the inner working of 5g technology is to its predecessor
4G. Both of these wireless mobile networks use the same cell system. However, the difference
between the inner workings of both 5g and 4g, is that 5g aims to operate on a higher frequency.
When operating at a higher frequency, network bandwidth is increased and so is the transmission
speed.

History of 5g
Though 5g is the latest technology in mobile communications networks, it is not the first
to be developed. The concept of mobile communications began sometime in the beginning of the
1980s with what they called 1G. According to Ganesh Patil and Prof. Prashant Wankhede (2014),
1g:
“Contains Analog System and popularly known as cell phones. It introduces mobile
technologies such as Mobile Telephone System (MTS), Advanced Mobile Telephone
System (AMTS), Improved Mobile Telephone Service (IMTS), and Push to Talk (PTT)
(p.204).
The systems mentioned above are the building blocks of what we know to be communication
today. Nevertheless, with this newly found communication system came with draw backs. Issues
with security that lead to eavesdropping and just its overall low capacity are one of the various
reasons that lead to the development of 2G in the late 1980s. With this new generation voice
transmissions were provided at higher speeds. Short Message Service (SMS) was also introduced
with the production of greater bandwidth ranging from 30 to 200 KHz (Patil &
Wankhede, 2014,
p. 204).
The Third generation (3G) debuted sometime in the late 1990s and utilizes a Wide Band
Wireless Network. Along with increased internet speed connection also came video calls such as
apples face time or skype and mobile television. The generation below 5G is 4G, which has the
same capabilities as 3G with some additional features. 4G applies IP networking and the rate at
which it transmits data is much grater than when compared with 3G. Again, speed is not the only
thing that differentiates 5G from 4G, it is also how flexible it can be because it is more oriented
around being software based (Mourtzis et al.,2021, p.2).

Industry trends
Additionally, there are many trends that you can find that contribute that contribute to the
over all usefulness of 5G. One of the major industry trends that contributes to the success of 5g is
its low latency along with high bandwidth. In “Smart Manufacturing and Tactile Internet Based
on 5G in Industry 4.0:
Challenges, Applications and New Trends” the author’s sate:
“Modern manufacturing relies on the collaboration of multiple technologies, resulting in
the generation of large data sets. With the ultra-low latency and high bandwidth capacity
offered by 5G technology, this massive increase in data collection can be transmitted and
analyzed much faster” (Mourtzis et al.,2021, p.14).
Both bandwidth and “ultra-low” latency are major trends that contribute to this industry. One as
wells as the other are adequate enough to process large amounts of data that can then be studied
and put into different categories as needed. These features are useful in industries that have high
data intakes such as healthcare, or the automotive industry. Another trend that can be followed is
5G security and reliability. As stated previously mobile communication networks were not as
secure as they are now. The demand for better network security is higher than ever now that
more companies are taking advantage of mobile communications. Dimitris Mourtzis supports
that:
“5G is developed with a flexible security scheme and methods to deal with
new requirements arising from a large number of potential use cases where 5G will be
used. Moreover, it supports new trust models as well as new threat-handling models, and

finally, to handle MMTC (massive machine type communications) traffic and
management and a large number of different types of connected devices” (Mourtzis et
al.,2021, p.24).
5g has been developed to handle different security matters with the implementation of new
methods that help serve todays security needs. These methods that have been applied do not only
provide more security to mobile devices, but to other “connected devices” along the lines of
printers’ and desktops.

Technological
developments
5G had enable numerous technological developments within several different industries. These
businesses include healthcare, real estate and agriculture. Within the health care industry
telemedicine has become a prominent way for doctors and patients to interact. In an article
published by Future Networks organization it is stated that “
5G speeds allow telemedicine
services to enhance their doctor-patient relationships by decreasing troublesome lag times in
calls” (“New Developments”,n.d.). With faster speed and the elimination of lag time, some of the
face-to-face closeness that is lost in telemedicine, can be returned. There is also massive
advancement with 5G real estate, as companies take advantage of the increase in connectivity.
Increase in connectivity is the “…key to the emergence of smart cities. These cities conceive of
improving the living standards of residents by increasing the connectivity infrastructure of the
city” (“New Developments”,n.d.). Better connectivity means the emergence of smart cities will
become more obtainable. Lasty in the agricultural business advancements in Artificial
Intelligence (AI) are possible because of 5G processing speed. With the use of 5G “…data
transfer speeds are ten times faster than those possible with 4G. This makes it possible to receive

and analyze information much more efficiently. And it puts AI on a faster track in numerous
industries in both urban and rural settings” (“New Developments”,n.d.). In order for AIs to
advance smooth and quick data transfer are crucial, this is what 5G provides with its increased
speeds. In today’s society 5G is used for mobile communication like our iPhone and Androids,
its speed and power allow us to do several things like streaming, long lags times with network
request. Phone companies such as AT&T and T-Mobile have taken advantage of 5G service often
times using it as a selling point to customers.
To sum up everything that has been stated so far, 5G provides many features that meet or
exceed the demands of our new remote world. 5G is a wireless communication network that
offers higher speed connectivity, and reduced latency that other communication network was not
able to reach. This wireless network has aided in the advancement of the healthcare, agriculture,
and real estate industries. Overall 5G displays the many leaps and bounds that have been made in
wireless communication networks.
