5G means 5th
Generation Mobile Network which is also called as Tactile Internet. 5G is
the advanced technology to 3G and 4G Network Technologies.
In 2008,
NASA with the coordination of Geoff Brown and Machine to Machine Intelligence
Corp (M2Mi) developing 5G communication technology. By 2020 European Commission
decided to invest 50 Million Euros to provide 5G mobile technology under the leadership of Neelie Kroes and many telecommunication companies under METIS
(Mobile and Wireless Communications Enablers for the Twenty-twenty Information
Society) 2020 Project is trying to reach worldwide mobile and wireless
communications system. In November 2012 METIS started its activities towards
developing 5G Technology.
In May 2013
Samsung said that it has developed the world’s first 5G technology system
with a maximum transfer speed of 10 Gbps (Gigabits per second). It is under testing.
In October,
2013 NTT (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone) Company launched 5G Network in Japan
which is the world’s first company to launch 5G in Japan.

Ericsson, Nokia, and Samsung, etc.
Many
companies and network providers are looking for the latest upcoming 5G
technology which provides the fastest internet service, wireless communication
system, multiplayer gaming, better camera features, variation in bandwidth like
less usage of bandwidth for applications etc,.
5G
Technology may provide the fastest and better technology by using World Wide
Wireless Web (WWWW). 5G provides 10,000 times speed better than the current
network, 5G is 100 times faster than today’s LTE Networks, and data transfer rate up
to 10 Gbps.
Overall the
5G Technology is expected to be available in 2020 and it may be available for
consumers from 2022 or 2023 on-wards.
