5G stands for fifth-generation, and it represents the latest generation of mobile cellular networks that follow the fourth-generation (4G) LTE networks. 5G was introduced in the UK and many other countries in 2019, but it is still in the early stages.
5G stands for the fifth generation of mobile networks and is enabled by the OFDMA-based New Radio (NR) technology. It supports enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), machine communications (mMTC) and low latency communications (uRLLC) with average download speeds of 150 Mbps and latency of 1 millisecond.
5G networks use a new air interface powered by the New Radio technology to create wireless connectivity between the cell phone and the 5G network. New Radio, often represented by its acronym NR, was specified in 3GPP release 15 and is based on the same Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) transmission scheme as the 4G LTE networks.
5G networks use a new radio interface enabled by the New Radio (NR) technology. NR is OFDMA-based, and it can operate at various frequency bands, including 20-90 GHz (high band), below 6 GHz (mid-band) and sub-1 GHz (low band). 5G networks can be deployed as standalone (SA) or non-standalone (NSA).
