Can’t wait to share these projections and possibilities with the revolution that 5G can bring into connected world.

There has been a lot of content already out on the internet about 5G, majorly for it’s capabilities and technological merits. I want to share some good stats that I have come across so far.

Technology

5G brings life to SDN (Software Defined Networks) opening up a plethora of possibilities and innovations in the Telco space.

1 Million nodes per 1 km makes it 100% faster than 4G

The Key being NFV (Network Functions Virtualization) which makes a virtual network real in Telecom space.

Network Slicing. Virtual Networks

Business

Few stats collected from various Telecom companies and agencies across the world

It could create 223 million new jobs by 2035

By 2025, India will have 700 million 5G connections

12% of world Telco services will be on 5G technology by 2022

Addition of a trillion(INR) market value by 2035 to the world telco industry

5G based digital transformations to fetch over $27000 million revenues by 2026

World AR/VR market to reach $25000 million by 2025

Meritorious

90% less power consumption compared to 4G

100 times faster than 4G

Just one millisecond to send a message against 50ms of 4G

A hour HD movie download in

3G — 26 Hours

4G — 6 Minutes

5G — 3.6 seconds. Terrific

Life and Environment

5G + AI + IoT + Self driving cars to save 1.27 million lives lost every year in road accidents

5G + IoT to reduce carbon emissions thus reducing 15% pollution by 2030

Whether or not there is some harm from high frequency 5G radiation but for sure it reduces the pollution by providing Realtime mobility & making AR/VR more powerful and relevant for general use.

Let’s embrace the new world ..better connected than ever.
