Koreans are investing $ 1.5 billion in 5G

We can confidently say that the current boom of smartphones and tablets seriously affected the development of mobile networks.

 Devices become more powerful , they have the ability to play content that was not available before , or never existed . Most often improve the quality of video and photo seriously affects its volume , and hence require more speed to deliver a smartphone . LTE in the theory of stable enough even for streaming movies UltraHD, but after 5 years of such content may be considered obsolete . To this already preparing in South Korea , highlighting the huge sums to create standard 5G.

The South Korean government , rightly bears the title of the country's wireless world, announced the allocation of U.S. $ 1.5 billion for the development of next generation communication standard . Theoretically, it can achieve speeds up to 10 Gbit / s, although now Samsung engineers under the experimental conditions shown in the result of 1 Gbit / s. To achieve this lofty goal Corporation has teamed up with LG and local operators , the resulting alliance plans already in 2017 to start implementing 5G on the test areas.

Full coverage throughout South Korea, and hence the launch of the network they're up to 2020 . Naturally, now allocated half a billion dollars is not enough, however, the prospects for the new technology is just crazy , and both the government and private investors are unlikely to abandon further funding. About the same time planned to introduce 5G number of other states , leading in the field of data transmission technologies . So the race for the title of the first countries with an ultrafast mobile Internet will be very fierce.

5G in Korea replace LTE-Advanced, in 2012 officially recognized by the international community as a communication standard for 4 generations . Unlike conventional LTE ( 4G which is not ), it can transmit data immediately through multiple channels . All three local operators already have full coverage of LTE-A across the country , and consumer equipment is present. There is a real 4G- network in Russia , however, it has only a few stations , and it is worth taking for a test stand . Perhaps our operators can skip LTE-Advanced, taking up until improvement of the existing LTE- networks , and in the future once mistaken for 5G.
