5G BENEFITS
STATS A N D FACTS
Flexibility
* 5G-ready network core to enable flexible service delivery
* Network capabilities delivered on demand for a large number
of users and connections
Speed
Understanding 5G
and Its Features
* Higher speeds than 4G networks
* Speeds upwards of 10Gbps, and an improved distribution of
high-speed connections
Capacity
* Supports billions of applications and hundreds of billions of
users and endpoints
* Extremely large number of always-on users per cell
There's been a lot of hype behind the benefits of 5G, but a
look at the numbers prove this next-gen network is destined
for success. While only 2,100 5G wireless handsets will ship
in 2019, the next decade marks the technology's grand
entrance. In 2020, shipments will skyrocket to 20,259 and
then 72,500 in 2021. Meanwhile, 4G use will go down from
169,420 wireless handsets this year to 40,641 by 2022.
Consumers will benefit from the upgrade, thanks to 5G's
improvements to the mobile network's flexibility, speed,
capacity, latency, efficiency and convergence.
Latency
* 1ms versus 4G networks' 10ms to support real-time control
and collaboration applications
* Support large number of simultaneous low-latency
applications
Efficiency
* Lower power consuption, 1/3 to 1/2 LTE-advanced (LTE-A)
* Deliver significant improvements in battery life performance
Convergence
* Converged fiber-wireless networks deliver efficient backhaul
and access services
* Enable connectivity in locations hard to reach via fixed line
ENHANCING LTE IS THE STARTING
POINT FOR MOVING TO 5G
KEY BENEFITS OF LTE-A
Self-organizing networks
Faster download speeds
Supports spectrum diversity
Spectrum friendly technology
Improved performance at cell edge
Lower latency
