Wireless Trends in 2017 Point to a 5G Future

Feb. 17, 2018
Wireless technology is a pivotal tech corner, not just in the industrial space but also in our daily life. 5G networks are soon approaching and will create a faster wireless network.

Even though we are only at the beginning of 2018, several major new trends in wireless technology already loom on the horizon. At the Consumer Technology Association Tech Trends Show in New York City last year, 5G technology was poised to be the disruptive trend, enabling new technology to communicate faster than ever before. Solutions that will be enabled by 5G are enhanced mobile broadband, secure industrial networking, automotive connectivity with high data-rate transfers and low latency, healthcare in real-time networks with higher-resolution video, and augmented- and virtual-reality technology.

The path for 5G leads to 2020, where it will coexist with LTE. However, 2018 will prove to be the test-bed year for many 5G technologies.

Today, wireless technology has made integrated networks a reality by bringing about some core changes to telecommunications and data networking. Today, over 40% of the world’s entire population has an internet connection. This is a massive leap from 1% in 1995. People all over the globe are able to connect to the internet, even in remote or rural areas. This brings with it several advantages, such as better access to healthcare, economic, and social advantages.

This rapid increase in connectivity is the result of wireless networks, which have drastically transformed the way people communicate and access the internet. Wireless networks are more dependable, less complicated, and much better in terms of accessibility than previously used methods. 5G networks will offer download speeds of 10 gigabytes per second, thus making it possible to download a two-hour movie in just 3.6 seconds.

5G will dramatically increase speeds, to the point where a two-hour movie download will only take 3.6 seconds.

While the pros do outweigh the cons, the growth of wireless technology does have a few downsides. It can lead to a lack of interpersonal communication and other related mental issues, such as anxiety. In addition, jobs may be lost as machines replace humans.

There is a continued focus on advances in wireless technology in the telecommunications industry and ongoing research into more effective, faster, connectivity situations. Because of this, the future of wireless technology is looking more efficient and faster.

Every day, engineers and telecommunications providers are working to make improvements so that more people can have access to secure, better communication. The new developments will also bring speed and power to the many smart devices that we use in our everyday lives. Look at the infographic, which is a study by thetrustcompass.com about the top trends in wireless technology and communication.

These are the top trends in wireless and communication technology for 2017, as revealed in a study conducted by thetrustcompass.com.
