People stand next to a 5G logo during the Mobile World Congress wireless show, in Barcelona, Spain, on Feb. 28, 2018. This year the telecoms industry will begin the transition to new fifth-generation cellular networks -- known as 5G -- which is expected to one day help run everything from self-driving cars to robot surgeons.
Analysts predict it will be at least a couple of years before the network's reach will be extensive enough to let you use your 5G phone without relying on current wireless standards most of the time. At a later stage, 5G will be able to underpin services such as augmented reality, which would allow people for example to point a smartphone camera at a football game and see superimposed player statistics.While previous cellular networks focused on mobile phones, 5G promotors say its greater transmission speed and total bandwidth will allow a ballooning number of objects such as traffic lights, crop equipment, refrigerators and other household appliances to send and receive data.
Lower latency could also help revolutionise multiplayer mobile gaming, factory robots, telemedicine and other tasks demanding a quick response -- all areas where today's 4G networks struggle or fail.Industry in particular is looking forward to 5G to reinvent manufacturing and allow it to monitor all sorts of processes.
Oh no it’s the Terminator movie coming to life. Run for your lives!
