Abstract

The quest for faster and seamless mobile communication services has given rise to the Fifth Generation (5G) mobile communication technology. 5G presents enormous opportunities for end-users, businesses, and the global economy at large. The major edge 5G has over its predecessor technologies; the 3rd and 4th Generation (3G and 4G), is ultra-low latency, which translates to ultra-fast data speed, which has the potential to peak to about 1Gbps at the frequency range of 6GHz to 100GHz. Its application of Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) antenna technology enables it to beam dedicated radio signals to 5G enabled User Equipment (UEs) using the advanced beam steering algorithm. This results in maximum data throughput with ultra-high bandwidth transmission to end-user applications resulting in new and never-seen-before business opportunities across different industries, investments, and business services. By expanding the scope of wireless technologies and making devices more autonomous, 5G has the potential to reduce carbon emission footprint and encourage greener communities. The application of 5G cuts across all spheres of our lives; industry, transportation, education, communications, health, and businesses. 5G is more inclusive, progressive, proven, and powerful than any of its predecessor generations of communications technology. With more power and improved efficiency, 5G is on its way to creating a truly connected world.
