5G is the fifth generation of wireless technology. Let’s start from the beginning though with a little history from Verizon:
- 1G – The dawn of the first analog cell phones
- 2G – Texting and voicemail capabilities added to mobile handsets
- 3G – Higher data transfer rates bring modern smartphones into the world. High speed enables mobile web browsing, image sharing, and GPS.
- 4G – Faster data speeds over the 3G predecessor
- 5G – Data speeds roughly 20 times faster than 4G. The super-fast data transfer rates will enable highly-connected autonomous cars, smart communities, industrial IoT, and more next-generation technologies.
So 5G promises 20x faster internet speed! This is an incredible upgrade! They tend to leave that part out of all the hype…
