The Future of Wireless Technology: Exploring the Possibilities of 5G

Imagine being able to use a wireless virtual reality headset, wirelessly connected to your computer and not needing a single cable. That's just one of the many possibilities that could become a reality with the advent of 5G technology. This new generation of wireless infrastructure promises speeds that are exponentially faster than anything we have today, with gigabit speeds rivaling those of wired connections. But it's not just about speed - low latency and efficiency make this technology promising for a wide range of applications.

One example of how 5G could change our daily lives is in the realm of home entertainment. Currently, cable boxes are a necessary evil, taking up space and being a hassle to set up. What if we had one cable box unit that connected to all TVs wirelessly? No more cumbersome coaxial cables or splitting screens between multiple devices. This is just one example of how 5G could revolutionize the way we experience entertainment at home.

But it's not just about gaming and TV - the potential applications for 5G are vast and varied. Imagine roads that sense traffic patterns, alerting drivers to congestion or suggesting alternative routes. This is just a small taste of what could be possible with 5G-enabled infrastructure. The technology has the potential to connect everything to the cloud, creating a network of interconnected devices that can communicate with each other in real-time.

Of course, there are also concerns about security and data protection. As 5G devices become more prevalent, they will have access to an unprecedented amount of personal data. This raises serious questions about how this information will be protected. Companies must take steps to ensure the security of their networks and devices if we're to fully realize the potential of 5G.

The infrastructure required for 5G is still in its infancy, but it's already clear that this technology has the potential to change the world. The first 5G phones are expected to hit the market within the next couple of years, and while they may not be widely available at first, it's likely that we'll see widespread adoption within a few years.

Smart cities are another area where 5G could have a major impact. With the ability to connect roads, buildings, and other infrastructure in real-time, cities can become more efficient, responsive, and sustainable. This is just one example of how 5G could be used to create better communities.

In conclusion, the possibilities for 5G technology are vast and varied. From wireless virtual reality headsets to smart cities, this new generation of wireless infrastructure has the potential to change our daily lives in profound ways. While there are certainly challenges to be addressed, including security and data protection concerns, it's clear that 5G is going to play a major role in shaping the future of technology.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enfive gee is it just another word that cellphone companies are using for marketing or is it actually that big a deal that's what we're going to talk about today and find out in this video and I could tell you right off the basket when 5g does eventually roll out it could actually be a game-changer so it should be pretty interesting let's talk about it first of all what the heck is 5g anyway I hope by now you can at least tell it's supposed to be what comes after 4G which is the fourth generation of cellular technology and phones 4G is pretty fast at about 100 megabits per second but it does have a lot of room for improvement it's not the best as you'd expect 5g will multiply current 4G speeds many times over the generally accepted requirements for 5g will include speeds between 1 to 10 gigabits per second or more and just one millisecond of latency round-trip and a 90% reduction in energy usage and a huge increase in bandwidth lots to be improved what does that all mean though in relation to what we get out of it though well for one thing the higher bandwidth capacity could mean that cell phone companies will no longer have an excuse to charge such insane prices for data like they do now cell companies always claim that these data caps which are ridiculous are just because of limits of the cell network itself they just can't do it so they have to limit it but 5g will have hundreds of times more bandwidth so that shouldn't be a concern they keep making that excuse we know that they're just going for a money grab Utley and if we're lucky we may start to see true unlimited data plans coming back and maybe unlimited data will be as common as unlimited texting again another benefit of 5g would be extremely low latency as I mentioned which could be as small as one millisecond anyone who's played online games knows how important latency is and normally mobile internet has really bad latency this hasn't really been a big deal until now no one really cares about latency in a phone but for the purpose of 5g will be used for low latency is really important and we'll get to that later the reduced energy usage might not sound too exciting but remember that a phones henna is usually what eats up a huge chunk of the battery like when you're not on Wi-Fi so 5g could seriously improve battery life not only for phones but also any other devices that needs to connect to the internet using this new technology with the Internet of Things showing no signs of slowing down more and more devices in our home will probably be wirelessly connected to the Internet and the less battery they need the better they will work and that really brings up an important point is that 5g isn't expected to just be used for phones right now whenever you hear 4G is basically always in the context of cell phones 5g will not only be used just for phones of course but also loads of other devices that need to connect to the internet or directly to each other even for example when we get self-driving cars and the cars need to talk to each other on the road in real time so they don't crash into each other that's where that millisecond latency will be critical these types of usage cases might seem ridiculous right now but they are something that in the next generation wireless network will need to be able to handle the next generation mobile networks alliances organization that talked about these types of specifications says that they expect 5g networks to begin rolling out in about 2020 even sooner in some cases so if you consider that there's typically a new cellular network generation every 10 years we'll probably have 5g between 2020 and 2030 as the range of the life of the network 2g first came out in 1992 then 3G in 2001 and for Jean about 2012 and several companies are planning field tests even right now like AT&T doing the first 5g tests in Austin Texas so it's moving pretty fast and while all this might not seem necessary right now consider that we will almost certainly have self-driving cars within the next decade easily so 5g must be future proofed or else we'll just be holding ourselves back big time even if we don't need the stuff now we definitely will in the future so we may as well implement that technology and it's also kind of like a push poll with technology so if companies know that there's basically unlimited wireless data they're going to start making much cooler devices that use it as opposed to not being able to make devices in the first place because the technology isn't even there and here's another consideration what if 5g wasn't just used for mobile internet but your home Internet as well think about if you have a cell network that is capable of gigabit speeds huge bandwidth and extremely low latency well that sounds just like wired Internet coming into your house doesn't it it's not better especially for people in rural areas where fiber optic internet is not available that could be a good alternative companies are no longer going to have to dig trenches to install miles and miles of fiber optic cabling getting underground permits and hiring construction crews for each neighborhood and then you have to pay for it to come to your house now you just build one 5g tower the company does and anyone within range just have to buy one wireless modem for access plug it in and they're done way easier in fact companies like Qualcomm and Intel have already begun working on these types of chips for 5g modems that I just talked about and the FCC has already allocated several spectrums to be used with 5g so they know what needs to be done to build these types of modems and chips already and if you're interested those spectrums specifically are in the 28 37 and 39 gigahertz range and I believe the one that Intel is working on uses the 28 gigahertz spectrum of course if we start to get this much cheaper access to Internet we're probably going to see some serious pushback by cable companies as a result I've already talked about this before but you wouldn't believe how many cable companies in the u.s. rely on pure monopolies just a rake in money many people around the country literally have one choice of the Internet service provider who of course just rip you off because they don't care so I don't think they would be very happy if all of a sudden your cell phone company comes along and gets your business instead by offering faster more reliable Internet imagine that losing customers because your company sucks now as I mentioned before one of the more interesting aspects that could be used with 5g is how it can be used to connect devices together not just to the Internet in ways that you haven't really thought of before for example imagine being able to use a wireless virtual reality headset it doesn't need a wire but rather uses a small 5g receiver built into it and one on your computer that transmits the data that way it doesn't have to necessarily connect to a cell tower that low latency could make it possible to stream content from your computer to all sorts of devices in your house another example I thought of could be cable boxes right now you have to have a cable box plugged into every TV and each one has to be plugged into the wall with a coaxial cable usually but what if we had one cable box unit in the whole house that connected to all TVs wirelessly using 5g or even a game console that can connect wirelessly to one TV doesn't need wire or potentially multiple TVs we can have that in the future imagine that one game console that can be played on multiple TVs wirelessly no more need for split screen the possibilities here are pretty much endless we're talking about speeds that could rival today's wired bandwidths and it's even speculated that 5g could go as fast as a hundred gigabit not just 10 as far as I know that's faster than any consumer grade cable or interface available today so for many devices in the future a wired cable might not be necessary at all unless it uses insane amounts of data of course as wireless transmission speeds increase so will wire data so I don't think we'll ever really get to the point where Wireless completely replaces Wired at least in high-end systems but we could use it for stuff that doesn't necessarily need the most amount of data possible even outside the home a big use could be smart cities and wireless infrastructure I hate to keep bringing up the self-driving cars example but it is a good example and we could use roads that sense traffic or talk to cars and tell them where to detour or send alerts for emergencies all sorts of things and all of this would be possible because of the supposed efficiency of 5g have a battery that can keep a 5g sensor going for 10 years which is one of the proposed specifications well then now you have a device that will work for the entire 5g generation before being replaced in the future it seems like everything will be connected to the cloud which sounds awesome but also is a bit worrying to be honest sometimes I don't really trust the cloud especially when these devices will presumably be able to access more and more personal data there's already so much talk about hacks and database breaches these days it's only going to get work if companies start relying on these wireless infrastructures and don't build in these super strict security protocols it will definitely be a problem it would probably get to the point where a computer virus could go from being a mire inconvenience to a really tragic problem possibly who knows but I'm sure that they understand that and are working on solutions I mean if you have people hacking into traffic lights and stuff yeah that'd be a big issue now all of this is still a long ways off but maybe not as far as we might think the first 5g phones could come out in 2020 just a couple years away although they probably won't be very common at first then maybe within a couple more years will start to see most phones using 5g and also some average home devices using them as well like your fridge or some nonsense like that the infrastructure stuff on the other hand like smart roads and smart cities well we know how slow the government can be so maybe if we're lucky we'll get that stuff at all in a few cities at least so in conclusion let's summarize quickly what we talked about 5g we're going to get multiple gigabits of speed at low latency and we'll probably start to see more and more devices that connect to each other and hopefully even more wireless stuff in general even if a third of this happens that would be pre awesome and I guess that's really it I think I covered everything so hopefully you guys found it pretty cool I would be interested to know what you guys think you can let us know down in the comments section below what part of 5g are you most looking forward to is that the gigabit cellular speeds or Wireless
