Ushering in a hyper-connected era with 5G devices

While 4G has changed how we consume information, 5G is set to expand the mobile ecosystem to new industries, enable new use cases and unlock new business opportunities in the consumer segment.

Millions of 5G-ready devices have already hit the market, and as we head towards the 5G rollout, 5G-ready devices are gradually becoming more mainstream. We bring you a curated list of smartphones, tablets and laptops across different price brackets.

5G- the next-generation network connectivity is a significant evolution of today's 4G LTE networks. It is designed to meet the very large growth in data and connectivity. The difference between 4G and 5G is about 10 times in density - 5G networks can handle 1 million devices per square kilometre whereas 4G networks currently allow 100,000 devices only. Not only this, the bandwidth has been tremendously increased from 1GB per second in 4G to 20 GB per second in 5G, which is a whopping 20 times faster. 5G is also going to have the ability to further slice the bandwidth and incorporate even more devices with varied bandwidth requirements, making it a versatile connectivity solution. To top it all the latency related to connectivity will be quite low near to zero hence making high speed data available in real-time.

5G operates in the same way as 4G and previous generations networks but uses higher radio frequencies that are less cluttered. This enables instantaneous connectivity to billions of devices. We all are talking about loT, 5G will not only enable massive machine to machine communications but also has the potential to revolutionize modern industrial processes.
