This runs on a different radio frequency which allows more devices to connect at once, and with faster speeds. All the major networks in the UK can now provide 5G, including O2, Vodafone, and EE. Most new devices are 5G compatible now, but it’s worth double-checking before purchasing if you’d like access to this technology. How will 5G make a difference? 5G has enormous potential in the coming years. Not only is the network so fast you would be able to download a feature-length film over it in seconds, but everyone around you could be doing the same with no latency. Thousands of devices can be connected within a small area without slowing the network or taking it down completely. More data can travel over 5G at higher speeds, which opens up new technological opportunities. For example, Virtual and Augmented Reality will be more readily available wherever you are, which can create more immersive experiences from retail to concerts. Farmers can use autonomous machines to seek out weeds or pests within their crops and will then target these individually to save time and money. Factories can use 5G technology to allow their machinery to link up and respond to any adjustments that need to be made within seconds, improving their output. Where is 5G available? The majority of countries around the world now have access to the 5G network. While it is available globally, many rural areas are not covered by 5G, but 4G is also being vastly improved in remote areas instead which are still playing catch up. 5G will primarily be a more urban setup to begin with, serving more populated areas first. How can 5G help your business? For most businesses, 5G will level up the cloud experience and remote working. Improved network speeds will allow for a smoother experience when away from Wi-Fi. Sharing files will be instantaneous, video and VoIP calls will be clearer, and using remote software will be possible. The IoT, or the Internet of Things, will become more prevalent too. Much like the previous examples, this uses the superfast connection to allow products to communicate instantly to each other. They can react to each other’s data to improve productivity immediately. Whether this is large machinery, monitoring stock or connecting more standard office equipment, it allows for a faster workflow overall. While it is still fairly early in the take up for 5G in general, investing for your business now will be a great way to future-proof it going forward. Discovering how you could use this tech in your company could give you the upper hand in the coming years when most others will be catching up.
