5G networks will allow companies to invest more in Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and 8K game streaming in the palm of their hand

Although here in Brazil the 5G seems like a distant dream, around the world we see signs that the technology is making great strides towards its expansion, being implemented as a test in some cities in the United States, China, United Kingdom, and South Korea. In South Korea, there are already nearly 1 million s using the new technology, which provide the new generation of mobile telephony signal to s of the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G. r4d6j

But the 5G is it that extraordinary? What does the new connection do that the 4G can not? In this article, we list 10 advantages of 5G networks that do not exist in 4G, and that will surely influence your life in a few years.

8K content streaming 5s7335

Video streaming 4K It's not something that many people can do with the 4G. As 5G, however, it should be possible to make a giant leap and stream video in quality 8K, without having to wait for it to carry around for ages.

This is an obvious example of the advantages provided by higher speeds of 5G, because data can be transferred faster, more can be transferred in the same amount of time, which means you can stream at much higher qualities without any noticeable difference in performance.

Of course, we still don't have phones that could take advantage of this, but we hope they are on the way, just like the arrival of 8K TVs in the consumer market.

Fast s, even for huge content 2g2x1o

In addition to streaming at higher resolutions, you'll be able to content much faster with 5G, which will make ing movies 8K more viable. Technically, you could them over a 4G or even 3G connection, but it would be extremely slow and could take days.

In addition, the extra speed of the 5G will help make large s more viable, which can also mean bigger and bigger games and apps, with better graphics and more features. So you can make sure you have a phone with plenty of storage going forward if you hope to make good use of the new technology.

Console quality online gaming without lag 6e2e4u

Playing online on mobile networks is not always ideal, not only because of speed, but also because of latency. Latency is the time it takes the network to respond to a request and should be much faster with 5G.

This means that when you enter a command in a game, it will happen instantly (or almost), so you won't miss out because of the lag. Online games can become more detailed and closer to console quality, as higher network speeds help to handle multiple players in these worlds.

Streaming games in virtual reality 38464s

There will also be the potential for games to be broadcast, leveraging the power of 5G to handle the heavy lifting in the cloud, allowing you to run more advanced games than your phone could ever be capable of, via streaming, as well as Google Stadia promises to do.

Speaking of streaming games, the sky really is the limit when you think of cloud processing! Let's not just look at console quality games, but also richly detailed Virtual Reality games, in addition to what the Google Daydream or maybe even better than the PlayStation VR is capable, all played on a phone or just a headset without massive processing capabilities built in.

Live streaming of VR events 325m5w

Go to live sporting events and concerts through virtual reality It's not a totally new concept, but it's still very rare and usually requires a fast internet connection at home. However, with the 5G, you should be able to wear a mobile virtual reality headset and get front row seats wherever you are.

Live streaming events at VR to 5G have the potential to bring these events to life in a whole new way, making it easy for anyone to stream, even if they don't have fast internet at the venue.

More live streaming of events in general 5z3be

It's not just about cell phones; O 5G may also lead to more live events broadcast on TV. With current transmission technology, companies are limited by slower speeds in the field and/or massive equipment such as transmission trucks.

With 5G, the speed and portability of the equipment can be massively increased, meaning it will be feasible and affordable to broadcast more niche events. You can suddenly watch every football game instead of just the bigger games, while streaming live shows can become the norm rather than a rarity.

A Red BeeMedia, a broadcasting services company, argued that this ability to broadcast more live events will help traditional broadcasters compete with on-demand services such as Netflix. With reduced costs, portability, and ease, media companies will have countless reasons to the 5G as a content streaming platform.

You can now make video calls, but what about holographic calls? It's something that Vodafone already done with the 5G in the United Kingdom.

While there are more technologies involved than just the network 5G, could one day mean that you could be virtually in the same room as the person you're talking to, making the world seem smaller and smaller.

Augmented Reality 1b3j65

Augmented reality is a technology we've seen a lot in recent years, but it's still in the early stages, and the 5G could change that.

With the high speeds and low latency on offer, you'll be able to augment reality in greater ways than is possible on 4G. In the future, you will even be able to see fully customized billboard ments projected through your car windshield or your smart glasses.

O 5G could activate features such as navigation instructions superimposed on the road when viewed through a smart windshield, and a host of other useful features for everyday drivers.

Popularize autonomous vehicles 3cu1c

O 5G could be the key to making the autonomous cars popular. For them to work more efficiently, they need to quickly send and receive data to other cars, smart roads, and more, which requires a fast network, low latency, lots of bandwidth, and high reliability.

Smarter homes and cities 213b2p

One thing that the speed and bandwidth of the 5G can really help, is the Internet of Things (IoT). While we are already seeing the beginnings of this, with everything from smart thermostats to smart lights appearing in people's homes, the 5G should provide the capacity needed to make almost every connected home smart.

The smart home concept is set to expand even further with 5G.

We must start to see truly smart cities and cities powered by 5G. That would mean cities with the ability to monitor pollution, traffic, pedestrian flow, energy usage and more, all in real time.

This, in turn, can reduce resource usage and costs, for example by allowing street lights to automatically dim when no one is around.

Sounds like a thing of the future, doesn't it? If you think the world is connected now, you haven't seen anything yet. Leave in the comments if you believe if 5G in Brazil will have any changes.
