Goodbye to 4G, Welcome 5G-the New Definition of Speed 

It is not uhuru yet for 5G or fifth generation of wireless technology. 4G is still the trend for now but its funeral is nigh as it will soon go moribund and replaced by 5G. In summary, 5G will leapfrog 4G thus making it irrelevant.This is an inevitable future which quite a handful of technology companies like AT&T, Verizon, and Google among others are presently spending billions of dollars to make it a reality. 5G will become the new definition of internet speed. So what does the arrival of 5G into the tech world truly mean? Innovation village identify 4 incredible ideas.





Download movies within 5 seconds 

5G will allow movie addicts to download high-definition movies in less than 10 secs. This is super fast when compared to the 8 minutes it takes 4G to perform the same download. You can see the astonishing gap. But, 5G internet will not come cheap as tech companies will have to install new towers and hardware to enable 20 gigabits per second. The 20 gigabits per second will make it possible to download a full-length in less than 5 seconds. A long way to go but like they say it is not rocket science!



 Connect millions of new devices via networking 



Speed may be the focus of fifth generation technology but there are other purposes it is meant for. It can connect millions of new gadgets from smartwatches to wearable technology and other Bluetooth devices. All these gadgets will be linked to your mobile phone thus simplifying the syncing process. It can also help in monitoring your devices through the use of sensors embedded in these devices. Interesting!



Uber will respond extremely fast to cab request

Uber unarguably controls the taxi industry globally. You can request for a Uber cab using their android app. If 4Ginternet is fast for you. It is not fast enough. 5G will ultimately shrink the time in which Uber cabs respond to your cab request. Minutes you can say? But considering the Lagos traffic, it may take a bit of time but the difference will be clear and noticeable. This also goes for driverless cars. The faster the internet speed, the closer we are to driving anonymous cars. Wow!!!

No more complaints about internet speed 

Nigerians lament about the fluctuating internet services they get from telephony companies and other service providers. Your lamentation will soon end as the 5G revelation and revolution will soon take over. You will even be awed by the speed and request Mr. 5G to slow down. But remember, 5G will not come cheap!

Now that's what I call speed.. ..

3G never stable for Nigeria ,you dey welcome 5G

haykay2005:
3G never stable for Nigeria ,you dey welcome 5G

Don't mind that gworo guy. People are still using Edge and 2g, he is saying goodbye to 4g.

dis is sad news ooo.. .i neva see 4G once.. .yu dey proclaim 5G



the day 9ja go get subway or underground parking den we av developed

LTE hasn't been effective so twill take 2 years to welcome 5G in 9ja

Most Nigerians have not tasted 4G, even 3G is still not stable. 5G will begin to roll out in high-end devices. So don't get excited just yet.

Uwaafid

i go dey manage my 4g.... 5g my left yeansh

are you saying bye to 4G that you possibly has not used before and welcoming 5G you may never use at least in Nigeria?


what most '4G users' in nigeria use is just 3.5G.

harristo:
Naija's current 4G, which is 1 to 10 mbps, is actually 3.5G lol. It will take some years before Naija will get it's first true 4G (100 to 300 mbps).

This should tell you where 5G stands in Naija. Most of you will have started having grey hairs before true 5G will hit Naija.

THERE IS 4G in the works very soon!

I have no idea as they have not indicated (they were supposed to launch last november but that didn't happen). But from all indications, it will be before the first half of the year runs out as they still doing test runs.

I use 4G but the speed averages between 5kbps-27kbps

When we are yetbto have 4G.the 4G in my phantom 5 is onky usefull when i am using smiles 4G.

5G....will truely change the world of internet...##make life easy###....

Hmm

I dey on 3g somebody dey yarn 5g wait when that ntel go show?

I haven't even seen real 4g talk about 5g. Am sure this will be available in the next 20-50yrs.

This is interesting while we still struggle to get 3g here

My problem with most of these types of news is the results are always theoretical. When the facility is implemented one will see their real world performance is less than half of the predictions reported.
