5G is the 5th generation mobile network.
It is a new global wireless standard after 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G networks. 5G enables a new kind of network that is designed to connect virtually everyone and everything together including machines, objects, and devices.
5G runs on the same radio frequencies that are currently being used for our smartphones, on Wi-Fi networks, and in satellite communications, but it enables technology to go a lot further. Beyond being able to download a full-length HD movie to our phone in seconds (even from a crowded stadium), 5G is really about connecting things everywhere – reliably, without lag – so people can measure, understand and manage things in real-time.
Here is how we evolved till 5th:
- The 1G era was defined by briefcase-sized phones and short conversations between a relatively small number of professional people.
- In the lead up to 2G, the demand for mobile services grew and never slowed down.
- Phones that could fit in your pocket, SMS, and mobile internet access were hallmarks of the 3G world.
- Thanks to 4G, we have smartphones, app stores, and YouTube.
- Now, 5G is completely reshaping both our professional and personal lives by enabling new use cases like connective vehicles, Augmented Reality, and enhanced video and gaming.
5G will do much more than significantly improve our network connection. It provides new opportunities, enabling us to deliver groundbreaking solutions that reach across society.

Imagine billions of connected devices gathering and sharing information in real-time to reduce road accidents; life-saving applications that can take flight thanks to lag-free guaranteed connections; or production lines so predictive they can prevent interruptions well before they occur.
5G can provide higher speed, lower latency, and greater capacity than 4G LTE networks. That means quicker downloads, much lower lag, and a significant impact on how we live, work and play.
