5G technology
South Korea recently launched 5G
technology nation-wide. The U.S. followed in second. The trials in India will soon begin. 5G technology is the next
version of the 4G technology which we saw in India. It has higher latency,
higher data per second can be provided with the help of it. It is almost 100
times faster than 4G technology. In a sense, it has revolutionary benefits
in nearly all the fields, such as:
> Education – primary,
secondary and tertiary education can be improvised using the technology. It
will bring higher effectiveness in research & development. More
interactive sessions can help students in grasping the concepts adding on with the
provision of virtual and the augmented reality.
> Health – recently a doctor
operated a patient in Gujarat with the help of a robot, when he was away in
another town. Thus the application in the distance operation and monitoring of
the patients could seriously enhance the health parameters in the country. In
this respect, it has to be kept in mind that the health sector availability in rural areas is poor.
> Concepts like the Internet of
Things & Big Data Analytics will materialize at a faster pace and as well
will reach to a larger public.
> Boost to the entertainment
sector
> It is sure that once a
person has used 4G, he will not be going back to a lesser speed as his peak
point/threshold has increased. This has been changing the lifestyle of the
people as this means faster dispensing of information.
Challenges:
> Huge investment is required.
The telecom sector in India is under pressure due to the shortage of funds and
increased cut-throat competition. BSNL is already out of the game for a long time.
> Newer technology means
another disruption hence its monitoring is a must. The cyber laws need to be
strengthened and the regulatory authority should as well keep pace with the
public in curbing the crimes.
> Price is a concern. It
should be affordable to all section of society. The price of the internet only went down in
India after the pre-emptive strike of JIO into the market, pushing other
players to lower down the costs.
