4G LTE connectivity is gaining popularity in Indonesia. But in advanced country, such as South Korea, they are preparing to go to the next step. 5G connectity. How fast is it?
At the recent Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, SK Telecom, one of the biggest GSM operator in the country, demoed the 5G connection.
They streamed Ultra HD content to Ultra HD TV. Using 5G, the transmission rate can reach 7,5Gbps. For a wireless connectivity, this is very fast.
For your reference, 4G LTE Cat6 can provide download speed up to 300Mbps. From my personal experience, I can get 4G LTE maximum at around 30Mbps. On average, I can reach 9-16Mbps on 4G LTE network.
But don't worry. This is not slow at all. Currently I used cable internet connection at home at 6Mbps. And it's already more than enough. But then again, the need for speed is different for each of us.
