What 5G 

As with previous cellular networks, 5G technology uses cellular sites that transmit data by radio waves. Cellular sites connect to networks using wireless technology or cable connection. 5G technology works by modifying the way the data is coded, which considerably increases the number of waves usable by carriers.

5g: what is it ?

[In video] Kézako: how a mobile telephony network works ? Each day thousands of calls have made in France from a mobile phone. Allowing to.

The 5G network includes a set of technologies corresponding to the fifth generation of the standard for mobile telephony. It is validated by itu itu, theInternational Telecommunication Union and the 3GPP 3GPP consortium (3rd Generation Partnership Project)). He officially entered into force in 2020.

Each generation of network has a lifespan of around 20 years. Work on 4G 4G started in 2003 for a launch in 2010 and until 2030. For its part, 5G has been in reflection since 2012, for a commercial launch in 2020.

A higher flow for the Internet of Objects

The validated theoretical flow rate of the 5G networks is 1 tbit/s at km 2 and 100 Mbit/s of debit for the user for the user for the user for the user. For comparison, 4G offers 1 Gbit/s per cell, a flow which is therefore shared between the inhabitants covered by this cell, or in practice around 30MB/s.

The goal is indeed to connect not only smartphones and shelves tablets but more generally all the objects. Now it is estimated that there are about a million per square kilometer.

Above all, the 5G network will considerably reduce latency times to 1 ms unlike the 30-40 ms observed today. In addition to the traditional surfing on the Internet, the objective is to be able to take control of objects from a distance. Only an extremely low latency time is therefore acceptable to pilot a drone drone or a connected car .

Deployment of 5G networks

At the beginning of 2018, the Arcep, the French telecommunications regulatory authority, released a frequency series to assess 5G in nine provincial cities in France. The previous year, the Free Mobile operator had obtained an agreement to test technology in Paris.

Smartphones have already announced compatibility compatibility of their future terminals. This is particularly the case of Huawei and Samsung Samsung who are working on the subject alongside Nokia/Alcatel Lucent and who invest in the infrastructure.

The 5g is what ?

In the universe of mobile telephony, 5G is defined by the fifth generation of the standards set up on a global scale. Under this definition hide a battery of advanced technologies and infrastructure capable of ensuring the transfer of data to very high speed. A flow rate of the order of 1 tbit/s per km2 and 100 mbit/s.

In 2015, Orange was the first French operator to receive authorization from the telecoms police, ARCEP, to carry out the first 5G tests. Several operators in France and around the world have since deployed this technology and offer it to their customers. 5G is characterized above all by its ability to ensure a larger number of Internet connections on a reduced surface and a significant reduction in latency times. Its potential is such that the flow may be more than 100 times greater than that of the previous generation when it is deployed.

The 5g how it works ?

5G is currently the most successful form of very high speed Internet access (THD). The principle of its functioning is the same as that of previous generations. Internet, by definition, is a set of open standards that make it possible to connect different networks between them.

Governments and service providers are major players in its deployment. 5G could not work without packages packages, segments that contain data, and protocol protocols that promote interconnection between networks.

To these elements is added the physical physical infrastructure made up of antennas distributed in the territory to be covered, servers, switches, router routers and terminals (computers computers, smartphones, tablets, televisions. )). As for 4G, waves are sent through the antennas deployed. Operators use several frequency bands which were once reserved for the army. The highest of 5G could reach up to 26 GHz, with a larger flow, but a lower range compared to the lower frequency bands.

What is 5G for ?

5G will strongly help to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow by allowing the transfer of a large volume volume of data at the same time to a reduced territory, as well as the cover of long distances in record time. This new generation makes it possible to unclog communication networks, currently saturated. The application fields Application of 5G are multiple:

• The Internet of Internet objects of objects, more and more present in our daily lives;
• Big Data Big Data;
• town planning for the development of intelligent cities;
• transport for the democratization of driver -free autonomous vehicles;
• telework and collaborative work;
• national security, safety on roads and in private places with remote monitoring remote monitoring;
• automation of tasks in industry;
• Health, including telemedicine telemedicine and the improvement of diagnostic diagnostics;
• science in all its forms, in particular artificial intelligence;
• online trade with the incorporation of detectors;
• interactive interactive games;
• Meteorology meteorology and the fight against global warming global warming;
• education;
• Automatic translation.

What is 5g ?

5G is the fifth generation of wireless cell technology, offering higher loading and download speeds, more coherent connections and improved capacity compared to previous networks. 5G is much faster and more reliable than currently popular 4G networks and has the potential to transform the way we use the Internet to access applications, social networks and information. For example, technologies such as autonomous driving cars, advanced game applications and live streaming media that require very reliable and high speed data connections should greatly benefit from 5G connectivity.

Why is 5G important ?

The request for internet access, combined with the emergence of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things (IoT) and automation, leads to a massive increase in the amount of data created. The creation of data is experiencing exponential growth, volumes having to increase by several hundred zettaoctets during the next decade. The current mobile infrastructure has not been designed for such an information burden and requires upgrading.

At the same time, thanks to its high speed, its massive capacity and its low latency, 5G could contribute to the management and the scaling of several applications such as control of traffic connected to the cloud, the Delivery by drone, video chat and quality games console on travel. Global payments and emergency interventions to distance education and mobile labor, the advantages and applications of 5G are unlimited. It has the potential to transform the world of work, the world economy and the life of people.

How will 5G benefit businesses ?

5G capacities can support innovation and improvement of customer experiences for companies. Here are some areas to monitor.

Autonomous mobility solutions

Previously, fully independent cars were not considered viable because of the time it takes a vehicle to send and receive information. However, the low latency of 5G means that we could see autonomous driving cars become more common, with connected roads with transmitters and sensors that send and receive information to vehicles in 1/1000 second. This reduced time is essential for AI and radar technology to be able to interpret what they see (other cars, pedestrians, stop panels) and control the car accordingly.

Smart factories

5G mobile networks are an opportunity for manufacturers to create hyperconnected intelligent factories. 5G supports the Internet of Things, which means that factories can connect several thousand smart devices such as cameras and sensors to automatically collect data in real time. Factories can analyze and process this data to make operations more effective and more profitable. For example, intelligent sensor technology can make precise predictions on the equipment life cycle, clarify planning decisions and predict when the machines need to be maintained.

Virtual reality

Virtual reality and augmented reality technology (RV/RA) allows mobile phones, helmets, smart glasses and other connected devices to add digital superimposes to live views. RV/RA has a multitude of use cases, including guided maintenance, repairs, operations in industrial facilities, training in the workplace, sales and marketing, and collaboration in real time. The low latency and high bandwidth of the 5G mobile technology will make RV/RA accessible to more companies and use cases.

Outskirts

Periphery IT (Edge Computing) is the process which consists in providing storage and data analysis capacities closer to your termination points. You can create high-performance applications capable of processing and storing data near the place where it is generated, which allows ultra-faible latency and intelligent and real-time responsiveness. With the ever -increasing quality of the use of periphery IT and data requirements, a broadband network is necessary to meet the need for almost real time reactivity. As such, the 5G network infrastructure supports and allows the growing complexity and specialization of periphery computer science.

How could 5G benefit the company ?

The growth of 5G networks should create billions of dollars of economic value and millions of tasks, but there are also many areas where it could benefit the company.

Smart cities

Intelligent cities are based on IoT devices to collect data on traffic, people and infrastructure in real time. By analyzing this data, urban planners make better informed decisions, reduce emissions, improve public services, decrease traffic and improve air quality. The emergence of 5G could be the catalyst that will allow large cities of the world to be truly connected.

Health care

5G networks can bring great added value to health care technology. For example, the low latency will allow you to share information in real time on an HD video, which could make surgery from a more common distance. It is also provided that the devices carried on oneself (Wearables) and ingested become more common and provide health professionals with data in return. Real -time monitoring will result in increasingly personalized health care for patients and will help doctors detect signs of illness earlier.

Environment

5G can help reduce global emissions. One of the advantages of 5G is the effectiveness of transmissions and the low power it uses compared to previous networks. It will also make it possible to monitor emissions in real time, air quality, water quality and other environmental indicators. 5G will also contribute to the development of electric vehicles, buildings and intelligent networks and remote work, so many activities that will benefit the planet thanks to effective use of resources and reduction in pollution.

How 5G technology works ?

As with previous cellular networks, 5G technology uses cellular sites that transmit data by radio waves. Cellular sites connect to networks using wireless technology or cable connection. 5G technology works by modifying the way the data is coded, which considerably increases the number of waves usable by carriers.

Ofdm

Orthogonal frequency distribution multiplexing (OFDM, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) is an essential element of 5G technology. Ofdm is a modulation format that code high -band waves incompatible with 4G and offers lower latency and better flexibility compared to LTE networks.

Smaller towers

5G technology also uses smaller transmitters placed on buildings and other infrastructure. 4G and previous cell technology were based on autonomous mobile phone towers. The possibility of operating the network from small cellular sites will support many devices at higher speeds.

Network cutting

Mobile network operators use 5G technology to deploy several independent virtual networks on the same infrastructure. You can customize each network for various services and business cases, such as streaming services or corporate tasks. By forming a collection of 5G network functions for each specific user or commercial model, you can support different requirements of all industrial sectors. Thanks to the separation of services, users benefit from a more reliable experience and better efficiency on their devices.

What is the difference between 5G and 4G/3G ?

If 5G operates on the same radio frequencies as previous generations, there are several essential differences between 5G and 4G, 4G LTE and 3G. Among those :

Increased speeds

5G networks can reach speeds of 10 gigabits per second, which makes them 10 times faster than 4G networks. This means that formerly intensive tasks, such as downloading a film or saving a database, will only take a fraction of the time they took before.

Low latency

An essential reason for this leap forward is the low latency. Latence is the time between sending and receiving information. 4G networks could reach a latency of around 200 milliseconds. This is reduced to a millisecond with 5G.

Higher bandwidth

5G can operate on a larger range of band widths (low band, medium strip, high strip) by widening the resources of the radio spectrum, frequencies below 3 GHz used in 4G up to 100 GHz and beyond. 5G can operate both in the lower bands and in millimeter waves, which considerably increases the capacity, the flow of several GBPS and decreases latency. This bandwidth means that more devices can be connected to send and receive data at a single time.

What are the AWS 5G projects ?

AWS works with a number of companies on 5G projects. Among those :

Verizon

Verizon is the first company in the world to launch a 5G commercial mobile network with a 5G compatible smartphone available on the market. It used Cloud AWS services to support its 5G deployment, taking advantage of large -scale calculation capacities to reduce deadlines and costs.

Ericsson

Ericsson is one of the main providers of information and communication technologies to service providers. With the arrival in the 5G network capacity market and the emergence of low latency communications, Ericsson needed to bring these advantages to their limits to provide high -added use cases to its client companies. The company uses AWS Outposts, a family of fully managed solutions offering services, tools and an AWS infrastructure on any site, with its own 5G heart to provide calculation capacity directly to customers of customers of customers.

Dish

AWS and DISH collaborate to create the first 5G network fully native Cloud in the American telecommunications industry. DISH uses AWS infrastructure such as AWS regions, AWS local zones and AWS Outposts to create a more flexible, more flexible and more profitable 5G network that redefines the experience of the User. The software centered network will be user -friendly for developers, so more companies will be able to quickly create innovative 5G applications that will upset their sector.

What are some of the advantages of a private 5G network ?

Companies have several reasons to consider operating a private 5G network in their facilities. Among those :

• Improved network connection
