5G mobile communications - the next generation
The introduction of 5G mobile technology marks a turning point in communication and the way we transmit data. It enables lightning-fast connections, low latency and opens up new possibilities in areas such as the Internet of Things (IoT), autonomous driving and Industry 4.0. But what is often overlooked is the crucial role of the underlying wired networks. Despite the wireless advantages, a stable and powerful infrastructure of fiber optic and copper cables remains essential to handle the immense amount of data that 5G networks generate. This article not only examines the technical development of 5G, but also looks in detail at its most important applications in various industries. You will also gain an insight into the challenges and opportunities that this technology brings with it. A detailed PDF version is available to download for an in-depth look at the topic and illustrative graphics.
