With many mobile network operators rapidly progressing their 5G trials, things are looking good for a predicted commercial launch in 2020. Initial trials started in Japan last year, with Nokia and Samsung leading the way. This year at Mobile World Congress, Ericsson demonstrated 5 Gbps speeds in the 15 GHz frequency band, demonstrating the rapid momentum of 5G development.
There is still a lot of work to be done, but in the meantime we have taken a quick look back at how mobile data has evolved over the past 35 years in a new infographic;
‘The Mobile Data Evolution – A comparison of 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G’
Take a look at the difference between 2G, 3G and 4G, from geographical coverage, number of subscribers and mobile data speeds. And find out what users can expect from 5G in the not so far future.
