What is 4G, 5G?
Have you ever wondered about the meaning of the 4G or 5G symbol displayed on your phone? Let's dive into it.
The letter "G" stands for Generation, meaning the generation of mobile communication technology.
4G represents the fourth generation, succeeding 3G, and 5G is the successor to 4G.
The 5G network was developed to address the shortcomings of the 4G network and promises a future with a seamlessly international connection.
In theory, the data access speed on a 5G network can be up to 20 times faster than 4G. The peak download speed with 5G is theoretically 20Gb/s, while with 4G, it's 1Gb/s.
In simpler terms, while you might be loading a half-hour 720p video on 4G, a 5G user could download a full 4k movie in just 10 seconds!
The latency of 5G is also significantly lower than that of 4G due to the configuration at each transmission station. In ideal conditions, 5G latency ranges from 1ms to 4ms, sometimes reaching below 1ms. In comparison, 4G latency can fluctuate up to 75ms.
