Q. With respect to 5G Network, consider the following statements:
1. 5G services will provide up to One GBPS (Gigabit Per Second) of download speed.
2. 5G services will have ultra-high latency.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Answer: A
Notes:
What is 5G-Network?
- 5G or 5th-Generation is the latest upgrade so far in the long-term evolution (LTE) mobile broadband networks. The 5G technology mainly works in 3 bands, (low, mid and high–frequency spectrum);
- The important features of 5G include:
- Data Speed: 5G services will provide up to One GBPS (Gigabit Per Second) of download speed. It is 100 times higher than the existing network speed;
- Efficiency and Stability: The energy efficiency of devices and stability of network connections will improve further with the 5G technology;
- Reduce Network congestion: 5G services work across the low, medium and high–frequency spectrums. This will avoid any network congestions;
- Low Latency: 5G services will have ultra-low latency (time taken by a network to respond). Latency for is predicted to be below 10 milliseconds, and in best cases around 1 millisecond.
A government panel report expects the peak 5G data speeds are to be in the range of 2-20 Gbps.
