5G is the latest generation of mobile networks, and it is a huge step up from what we have available to us today. The jump from 3G to 4G networks was pretty huge – 4G to 5G is many times greater and is almost difficult to comprehend.
5G is an entirely new kind of network designed to connect virtually everyone and everything together, be it smart devices, vehicles, even industrial machinery.
5G will coincide with existing 4G networks until coverage is expanded significantly, but it will eventually evolve into a standalone network that operates independently.
