Technology Definition
Describe the technology and its industry in a concise summary.
Fifth-generation wireless is the most modern iteration of cellular technology, intending to
increase wireless throughput and responsiveness vastly. The 5G network is the fifth generation of
wireless broadband networks, with faster and more reliable speeds and reliability than its 2G, 3G,
and 4G forerunners.
Wireless broadband connections may currently carry data at multigigabit speeds, with
some estimates claiming peak speeds of up to 20 gigabits per second. These connections are faster
than landline connections, with a latency of less than one millisecond, making them ideal for realtime applications. Due to increased accessible bandwidth and enhanced antenna technology, 5G
enables a massive rise in the volume of data transported through wireless systems ("5G
Technology and Applications", 2021).
Business Application(s)
Explain the possible business applications of the technology, addressing the following
questions: Why is this technology significant?
