5G will revolutionize the way India communicates

Remember the time when 4G came to India and everyone was preparing for the mobile Internet revolution? That feels like forever now. While we were still struggling with 4G, the next big frontier of cellular technology is coming. Now, when you think of 5G, think of a connected environment in which your devices and applications can communicate with each other, cars can drive themselves, virtual reality entertainment becomes a reality and you can surf the Internet to large speeds. With each new generation of data technology, we experience higher levels of network connectivity and with the arrival of 5G, the mobile revolution will be much larger.

If we are going to follow the rumour that has taken over the technological world, it seems that the day has not been left behind. The telecom operator Airtel, which has redefined the way the country communicates with its high-speed Internet, is ready to take 5G to India. The technology giant carries the banner of Internet connectivity and was also the first telecommunications service provider to start 4G in India. This time, again, Airtel has been conducting multiple tests throughout the county to make India 5G ready. During one of the test sessions, Airtel achieved an amazing 3Gbps 5G internet speed and, recently, also successfully operated a drone from a line of remote visual vision, which is an achievement par excellence in the 5G ecosystem.

With Airtel work-horsing to build an expansive 5G environment in India, here is how their arrival will change the way we navigate, connect and live.

Increased Bandwidth

Almost a decade ago, the progress bar in our web browser would not load web pages as fast as it does now. This is simply because the bandwidth, the amount of "space" available for people to download, upload, browse and watch videos, was very small. With the foray of 5G technology, the bandwidth size will experience a drastic increase that will make Internet connectivity faster and more reliable. In fact, 5G can offer a download speed of up to 20 Gbps and an upload speed of up to 10 Gbps, which allows people to do much more on their devices with the use of broad bandwidth.

A world of connected devices such as the Internet of Things (IoT) reaches an application in the real world.

As smart devices gain popularity, the attack of 5G cellular technology can also give way to a connected world as the Internet of Things (IoT) becomes a reality. How do you ask? IoT, at its simplest level, is a network of smart devices connected to the Internet to broadcast enough information so you can control them even from remote locations. As 5G connectivity arrives to provide super-fast bandwidth speeds, ultra-low latency and ten times the geographic coverage, it will give an important revision to the IoT ecosystem by enabling the rapid transmission of huge amounts of data between the devices. IoT connected and power. Applications that demand connections in real time.

Entertainment reaches new planes with reduced latency

Latency is the time it takes a network to get a response to a search or request made by an Internet user. With 5G configured to provide low latency rates, the delays in network communication will be much less. It is an important advantage in areas where the time it takes between sending and receiving data should be minimal. This feature will not only allow 5G cellular connectivity to provide new things but will also help modestly improve what Internet users are already doing. Things like VR entertainment, multiplayer mobile games, driving cars and fast response activities can become a reality with low latency 5G networks.

Energy efficient consumption

The 5G network, being super fast and efficient, will also ensure that the battery exhausted by the devices to stay connected to the network will be smaller. This provides long-term benefits to save energy and reduce the overall carbon footprint of our Internet devices. But in the short term, you will have to worry a little less about the download of your phone.

Announcing new innovations in industry verticals

5G, as a new technology, also has the potential to act as a blank canvas for future applications, most of which have not yet been invented. While it may be too early to predict, the innovations promised by 5G technology can be expanded and adapted to current and future technologies. The advantages of 5G are not limited, therefore, to the entertainment, transport and services sector, but can also affect industries and military installations.

If we are to go by the words of Bharti Airtel's CTO Randeep Sekhon, the 5G future looks quite spectacular. He said, "Airtel has built a world-class network that is ready to serve the explosive growth in high-speed data services in a market with over one billion subscribers. Partnering with Cisco will help us transform our network architecture to enhance customer experiences while concurrently preparing for 5G and the era of connected things." In fact, this is one of the many associations that Airtel has made for India to be ready for 5G. Under this partnership, Airtel collaborates with Cisco Customer Experience to expand IP services to the most remote markets.

Given that Airtel's 5G services in the country are expected to be implemented in 2020, there is no doubt that the next big change in the way we live is about to happen.
