5G Network. Change to everything
What is 5G? 5G will be a set of standards that define everything from the technology used to the speeds it will deliver. The integration of this 5G with hardware has been the interest of many companies. Intel is the latest to jump on board, as it wants to be able to offer hardware for next-generation phones, tablets and Internet of Things devices, and compete with companies such as Qualcomm. Last time around, Intel backed the wrong horse: WiMAX was basically a failure when LTE became the predominant 4G standard. 4G brought a considerable improvement in speed over 3G, but even in 2016 it’s still not available everywhere in the UK, and real-world speeds are nowhere near those figures, averaging out at around 15Mb/s So we should expect 5G to get a lot closer to fixed broadband. Samsung has ran tests in 2014 and achieved speeds of 7.5Gb/s, which is over 30 times faster than 4G (in these kinds of tests). However, researchers at the 5G Innovation Centre at the Univers...
