5G Technology and its Rollout in India
5G is the latest global wireless standard, offering significantly faster data speeds, higher reliability, and massive network capacity compared to its predecessor, 4G.
Key Concept
- It operates in high-frequency bands (millimetre waves) to provide ultra-low latency and multi-Gbps peak data speeds.
How 5G Technology Works
- Small Cell Deployment: Unlike 4G, which relies on large towers, 5G uses ‘small cells’ - miniature base stations placed close together to handle high-frequency waves that don't travel long distances.
- MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output): This uses multiple antennas at the transmitter and receiver to increase capacity and signal strength.
- Beamforming: Instead of broadcasting signals in all ....
