It is predicted that 20.8 billion devices<\/a> will be connected to the Internet by 2020. That\u2019s more than double the people on Earth. How is the current 4G LTE signal going to handle all those devices?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not. That\u2019s why we are sitting on the doorstep of the greatest and strongest signal man has ever witnessed \u2013 5G.<\/p>\n

We aren\u2019t overstepping are bounds when we say that either. 5G is going to be a huge improvement to our current wireless network.<\/p>\n

Before we get there, here\u2019s a little history lesson<\/a> on how we got to this point. 1G was the beginning of wireless phone technology, starting in the 1990s. 2G didn\u2019t come too far after with the advent of text messaging. Eventually, the cellular world moved on to 3G, which allowed for phone calls, text messaging and internet browsing abilities. Then 4G came along, expanding upon every one of those abilities, with the addition of being able to download extremely large video files.<\/p>\n

Currently, our network is 4G LTE; a more advanced version of 4G. However, 5G is going to expand upon what we think is a fast connection nowadays.<\/p>\n

It will allow all the typical features of texting, phone calls, and web browsing; but it\u2019s going blow today\u2019s current rate of signal speed out of the water (or should we say air).<\/p>\n

5G will make it easier for people to download Ultra HD and 3D video, while making room for millions (billions) of connected devices. It\u2019s just not your computer or smart phone. 5G will cater to household appliances, door locks, security systems, smart cars, wearables, dog collars and many other Wifi-enabled items that might seem obscure now.<\/p>\n

The difference in speed between 5G and 4G LTE will increase by 10 gigabits per second. 10 gigabits! That means you can download an Ultra HD movie in seconds compared to the hour that it takes to download now with 4G LTE.<\/p>\n

You might be thinking, \u201cWhat? An hour?\u201d. That\u2019s based on the nationwide average. Most people don\u2019t get to experience the maximum download speed of 4G LTE because the signal can be disrupted by so many different things.<\/p>\n

Aside from speed, 5G will be responsible for many other impressive benefits, including:<\/p>\n
