What makes 5G different to 4G?

To effectively plan for 5G it is important to understand how the technology will be delivered, how it is different from current 4G networks and what the planned use cases are. 5G is not just limited to mobile; it is the underlying mechanism that will support a range of M2M applications being deployed and iterated over the next several years. When planning for 5G coverage, it is important to have a clear understanding of the technologies involved and time frame you are planning for.


Why 5G is the heart of Industry 4.0
We are in the middle of the fourth industrial revolution. While many business leaders are paying attention to energy consumption and automation, is 5G the true driver of Industry 4.0?

The first fundamental distinction is the frequencies over which 5G will be delivered: either < 6 GHz or mmWave (28+ GHz), both of which present their own set of challenges. The second distinction is the data transfer speeds involved. Current 4G networks typically have a fifty-millisecond delay whereas 5G is set to offer a delay of one-millisecond. Such small differences are unnoticeable to humans, but they will permit machines to achieve near-seamless communication.

5G mmWAVE operates in the 28 GHz and 39 GHz spectra and is able to deliver extremely high data rates to end users, using sophisticated network equipment. There is a downside however, because the higher the frequency, the smaller the coverage range and the less effectively the radio waves can penetrate objects, people, vehicles, buildings, natural obstacles such as terrain, all of which impede signal transmission.
