Ranchi, Oct 6: Prime Minister Narendra Modi introduced a new era in technology on October 1, 2022, by launching 5G telecom services in India which aims to deliver a communications system with high data rates, minimal latency, and seamless coverage.
The cities that are earmarked for 5G rollout in the first phase. These include Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Varanasi Chandigarh, Delhi, Jamnagar, Gandhinagar, Mumbai, Pune, Lucknow, Kolkata, Siliguri, Gurugram and Hyderabad.
By 2024–2025, India wants to have an economy of $5 trillion, and 5G services are anticipated to be crucial to that aim. Experts predict that 5G will have a cumulative economic impact of $1 trillion by 2035 and that it will increase the nation’s GDP by $150 billion between 2025 and 2040.
But how will this next-gen technology change your life?
- Consumers should expect 5G to offer faster data rates than 4G. Internet speeds on 5G could reach 10 Gbps at its maximum, compared to the 100 Mbps high on 4G.
- With 5G technology, latency can be as low as 1ms. For the unfamiliar, latency is the amount of time it takes for a device to deliver data packets and receive a response. The response is quicker if the latency is shorter.
- Remote places across the country will have seamless coverage thanks to 5G technology. Energy, spectrum, and network efficiency will all rise as a result.
- Additional technological advancements brought on by 5G include Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and others. The healthcare, agricultural, educational, disaster management, and other sectors will all be directly impacted by these technologies.
- The spectator experience at live music festivals and sporting events like football games would be improved with 5G. Sports fans will have an immersive experience because of 5G’s minimal latency.
- New Internet of Things (IoT)-based services and products will be made possible by 5G. New business models will be fueled by the improved capabilities provided by 5G networks.
- The field of transportation and mobility will also change with the introduction of 5G. To increase the economic viability of the EV ecosystem, a network of EVs and charging stations can be constructed using 5G.
- The more effective remote working will also be aided by the next-generation 5G network. Smart buildings powered by 5G can assist create a more comfortable working environment for the staff, increasing productivity and cutting expenses for companies.
- The Industrial Revolution 4.0 will gain momentum thanks to 5G technology. To automate the scheduling of various activities, the brand-new 5G services will link a range of IoT (Internet of Things) sensors and gadgets.
- Customers will be able to watch 4K videos on their phones. Additionally, it will make it possible to use mobile gaming apps, AR/VR, as well as a variety of other immersive activities and brand-new applications.
- The production and distribution of goods will be impacted by the next-generation 5G technology. Reduced costs, less downtime, little waste, and increased production are some of the ways 5G is being used in the industrial sector. The logistics cost is anticipated to decrease from 13–14% to 5% with the advent of 5G.
- The field of safety and surveillance will likewise be significantly impacted by 5G. Remote control over disaster-affected areas, a live 4K feed from HD cameras mounted in public locations, and other features will all be possible thanks to 5G technology and its applications. Additionally, it will contribute to reducing the involvement of humans in hazardous industrial processes like deep mines, offshore activities, etc.
