5G is the next generation of mobile network, promising extremely high speeds and new possibilities for households and businesses. 5G is the evolution of today’s 4G networks and has been designed to support the transfer of even larger amounts of data, as well as the connection of millions of devices through the Internet of Things (IoT).

The average speed of the 5G network ranges from 150-200Mbps, with maximum speeds exceeding 1Gbps. In practical terms, this means you can download a full HD movie in about 3 minutes. (By comparison, on a 4G network, it would take 15 minutes.)

This means it’s up to 10 times faster than 4G:

• The average speed of 5G is between 150-200Mbps, while the average speed of 4G today is 23-35Mbps

• The maximum speed of 5G exceeds 1Gbps, while the maximum speed of 4G today reaches 150Mbps

The 5G network uses MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) antenna technology, which can send and receive a very large volume of data simultaneously at extremely high speeds.
