Moore’s law is at 36 months now and in 6 years we are going to hit the physical limits so it will end until we come up with a new technology. As for the 4g vs 5g I don’t think I would call it world changing if you already have 4g. My home internet is almost 20 times faster than 4g and it isn’t fundamentally different on what I can do with it.
No, the reason it iwillworld changing is not the speed, it will be no faster that a good broadband line today. What is so different about 5G is
delivery methodology.
The weakness of 4G is that it had huge power use, and relied on massive towers to achieve the long range to serve thousands to hundreds of thousands of users per tower. Every user that used that tower would share in the wired bandwidth that that tower had. That bottleneck at the tower is the serious limiter for all pre-5G technology.
With 5G, they have changed the delivery method. In the new system a 5G hub would be, for instance, a residential wired connection, and all 5G device will handshake to create a virtual wired connection between each other, creating a weave of interconnected 5G connection sites. These handshakes allow two 5G devices to create a secure connection between each other quickly on the fly, and the connections can be reliably made even at high relative speeds of the two devices. So a car driving down the interstate would continually be connecting to stationary hubs in businesses and residences within range, and also establish connections with other 5G devices in other cars on the same highway.
The ultra-low-latency protocol allows gaming-level QOS even if you are sitting 10+ hops away from a hub with an actual wired connection to the internet.
Companies like Verizon can expand the internet by simply plugging in devices within range of another 5G device, they won't need to run lines, expect for the most remote areas that have no internet connectivity.
So yeah, people get this wrong. 5G doesn't do anything about the speed of the internet, it does everything about the availability of the internet.
Well, it does effect speed too, since that 100mb connection you have at home on your wired modem would be easily achievable on a wireless device using 5G
