Fifth-generation (5G) mobile phone technology will come as a blessing for people such as Indian cab drivers who hate to miss the live action of an India-Pakistan cricket match — because the streaming speeds can be 40 times faster than the best technology today.
Cab drivers have to wait all day for their bosses near the car, while they attend meetings or are in a conference venue, said Luis Jorge Romero, director-general of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI), as he illustrated the advantage of 5G services,
ETSI is the organisation that created a global system for mobile communications (GSM). It is currently setting standards for 5G in partnership with experts from India.
A 5G service can download an 800 MB file in one second, which compares with the 40 seconds that 4G technology offers today. A typical Indian movie, which is around 1,500 MB (1.5 GB), can be downloaded in about two seconds. Current 3G speeds are half of 4G levels.
