Have you left the fifth generation of networks in the world?

Since the first cellular network in Japan was launched in the late 1970s, mobile communication technologies have seen a development in the form of periodic leap instead of steady progress. Almost every contract has launched a new wireless standard for the world, stimulating courses of innovation and investment, as companies are competing to develop new jobs and capabilities using these technologies, hoping that consumers will pay more for it. As a result, the money was pumped to finance the following network updates. But this incentive stops today. Telecom businesses paid more than $ 150 billion between 2018 and 2024 for governments to obtain the wireless frequencies to operate the fifth generation networks, and spent more than it installed. To attract the public, marketing teams have made many efforts, as the fifth generation networks were not only promoted to enable users to achieve more activities on their smartphones, but as a factor that completely changes their lives. Fifth -generation networks were sold as an essential pillar of innovations such as robots, self -managing vehicles and virtual reality. In addition, it promises to enable doctors to perform remote operations, and to end the problem of traffic congestion through self -managed cars that continue through these networks. These networks are also high by providing velocity by providing interaction between individuals in ‘metaphors’ parallel to the Internet, as well as benefits for production lines in factories, home appliances and most electronic devices, making them more independent and efficient. But six years after its introduction, it is difficult to notice the big difference despite all the riots. It is true that the fifth generation networks are the ability of networks to help wireless network operators to deal with the growing data movement, but their performance, even as a way to accelerate the video broadcasting experience during the move, is still irrelevant and unreliable. In many countries, most cellphone users still depend on the fourth generation networks, and sometimes even on the third generation networks that have more than two decades. And when the logo ‘fifth generation networks’ appear on the corner of your smartphone screen, you may not notice a big difference in performance. On the contrary, some users indicate that their devices are slowing down than before. Where is the defect? Was the technology a solution looking for a problem? The promotion of the fifth generation of Networks was focused on trying to show the capabilities that this technology could offer, but it was found that no one was interested in it. “The biggest problem was the absence of a revolutionary application,” says Yang Wang, a prominent analyst at Counterpoint Research in London. Doctors still prefer to perform surgery for patients while in the same room, and most of the emerging self -managing car technologies are not designed based on the full dependence on the fifth generation networks. (There seems to be a logical reason for this, as the fifth -generation networks on the main roads can be at its best). Online video players were one of the main objectives of the fifth generation networks, because of their need for high -ranking communications and reducing delays in data transfer, known as “arrival time”. However, most players prefer to play from home on a comfortable bench instead of competing as they move on the bus. Therefore; A good WI -FI connection is usually sufficient instead of the wireless network. Other technologies, such as video calls via Zoom, that have spread widely over the past year, work smoothly over the fourth generation or Wi -Fi networks. The fifth generation networks were also supposed to be the gate towards ‘metaphors’, the parallel digital world depicted at the beginning of the contract by the founder of Facebook (Facebook) Mark Zuckerberg and other technological pioneers. This was the perfect use of the fifth generation networks, as millions of people carry virtual reality glasses that transmit and receive large amounts of data in real time. But the metaphors have not yet been fulfilled, and it is still unclear when or even if it will appear one day. Another argument was offered to support the deployment of the fifth generation networks, the ability to handle the large flow of data due to the ‘Internet or Things’, where all types of devices are connected to the Internet, from refrigerators to traffic lights, smart teeth, electric collection and dogs. But this vision offered by technology experts has not yet been achieved. What makes the clay worse is that some early ads of the fifth -generation networks were somewhat ridiculous, because it contains phrases such as, “When will you have to shave on top of a mountain?” And “I use a robot equipped with the fifth generation networks to pull a tattoo”, although there are many people who are ready to do so for a competitive price. The fourth generation against the fifth generation, the fifth -generation networks enjoy the ability to transfer more data, and support up to one million devices per square kilometer, or ten times the ability of the fourth generation networks. In addition, the fifth -generation networks can use a greater variety of frequencies, the prominent of which is the ‘C’, which is not widely used in previous wireless network standards. The higher the frequency, the higher the amount of data that can be transferred, but its scope is less. The frequencies of medium range, especially the “C”, are an ideal medium solution, as it can handle much more data than the traditional fourth generation signal, with relatively broad geographical spaces. Using the most advanced fifth generation networks known as Mimo, they use techniques such as the formation of packages and spatial distribution to improve the network capacity, to improve the coverage and signal power more. The fifth -generation networks are expensive, the telecommunications sector needed to achieve great revenue of more than one billion dollars if it plans to cover the world with the fifth generation networks. The purchase and installation of this technology is very expensive, as its cost exceeds six times the cost of the fourth generation networks, according to one of the managers of the UK telecommunications sector, who requested not to be identified during the discussion of internal standards. This is due to the fact that the fifth generation networks are more intense, which needs more equipment for every square mile than the signal coverage. This, in turn, has an increase in spending to obtain the necessary permits for planning, installing machines, and compensation for owners of buildings containing these devices, in addition to the cost of their maintenance. (Supporters of the fifth generation network indicate that these networks consume much lower electricity than the fourth generation of each data co -own, which means that the energy costs will be higher without them). Network operators hoped to reduce the cost of implementing the fifth -generation networks by adopting an industrial standard known as an Openran. This will enable them to integrate and choose equipment and software from different manufacturing companies, which means that they will not be obliged to buy everything from the same resource. This would lead to an increase in competition between suppliers, reducing prices and accelerating the acceptance of the fifth generation networks. However, accepting the standard of “Open Radio Access Network” was slow. More than ten years after the idea appeared, most of the industry officials believe that the standard has not become enough until it is widely dependent. These are not the fifth generation networks in any way when the fifth generation networks were launched in 2019, while wireless telecommunications companies, especially in Europe, have an intense competition and low profits. Therefore, these businesses were careful against the billions of dollars in a technology that has not yet been commercially proven. At the time, PwC discovered that the vast majority of consumers were not ready to pay an extra $ 10 a month to upgrade the fourth generation networks. Only a third of their opinions were questioned, their willingness expressed to pay an extra $ 5. Most of the companies that imposed extra fees on the services of the fifth generation could only do this when their competitors started delivering similar experiences. While the fifth -generation networks promised a technological revolution, what was actually offered was just a gradual development. Most network operators relied on the so -called ‘non -dependent’ networks, which include connecting the fifth generation stations to the fourth generation networks. The basic network is the important part of any wireless system as it takes the data apart and resolves it to ensure that it reaches its destination as soon as possible, it also performs voice calls and SMS messages and performs important functions such as checking the user identity. Without a basic network devoted to the fifth generation, it becomes difficult to implement many advanced applications for this technology on a large scale. The unification groups of the industry standards have enabled communications to classify the independent networks as ‘fifth generation networks’ in their coverage statistics. For this reason, the “fifth generation” process worldwide has been performed faster than planned, although most companies still cannot offer the full benefits of the fifth generation networks. Some did not bother to confirm the coverage of the fifth generation. For example, the US telecommunications company “AT&T) has placed the 5G E network logo (5G E) in early 2019 at the corner of its clients’ phones, although it has not yet launched its fifth generation network. Many network operators also relied on the” dynamic participation of the frequency spectrum “(DSS), which increases the fifth generation signals. Using the frequency spectrum they have already used, while maintaining old equipment, while consumers are connected with the fifth generation networks. Of the fourth generation of Networks, almost a decade lasted, so there is still plenty of time to develop the fifth generation technology. Some updates only inevitably seem to deal with the simplest tasks in the sector, such as securing the operation of cat videos on “Tuk” and weight loss lessons on YouTube without interruption during the move. According to the International Association of Mobile Networks, the global data consumption in 2022 has increased to about 15 GB per month for each consumer compared to about 5 GB in 2019. The association expects this number to reach 75 GB by 2030. The fifth generation technology has begun as a temporary solution for the home -wide range of homeland as an alternative to homeworks. Related to copper cables, especially in North America, where the spread of the fastest optical fiber networks is delayed compared to other regions. But the chances of income are still relatively limited. Examples are ‘network defamation’ technology, where telecommunications businesses sell the wireless network for use in one place, which offers the transfer of faster data and less access time or greater safety. Singtel in Singapore, for example, imposed a $ 7 drawing to provide a dedicated contact for Taylor Swift fans during his Singapore ceremony during March 2024. It allows them to be a taxi to discuss or publish videos without uploading the same time due to tens of thousands of tracks. But these activities are very rare and cannot be considered an important source of profit. The most profitable commercial opportunities for network department technology lie in the business sector. The Swedish manufacturer of communications equipment “Ericsson”, along with its “Nokia Oyj” and Chinese “Nokia Oyj” competitions and Chinese “Huawei Technologies”, offers the fifth -generation networks designated for robot base fabric management, which organize the flow of goods and equipment in ports. However, the acceptance of these networks was relatively slow in Europe and the United States, as many companies chose to rely on the cheapest Wi -Fi communication. Asian exception? Asia and the oil -rich Arab Gulf region were the largest payment of the fifth generation technology, as launch operations enjoyed support and coordination at state level for the purpose of achieving technological excellence and strengthening national economies. (South Korea was the first country to launch the fifth generation networks in April 2019, as part of a detailed government plan that includes tax releases and incentives for research and development). It was easier to install the fifth -generation networks in Asian cities, where the population density is usually higher than in Europe and the United States, which makes the investments of the telephone towers more profitable, where each service can serve a greater number of users. The transport centers, ports and hundreds of factories in Asia are equipped with private networks, many of which use the fifth generation technology, according to the International Society of Mobile Networks. This may give some companies competitive benefits, as supporters of the fifth -generation networks have promised, such as preparing more machines with sensors and communicating them faster and more reliably, which can improve the efficiency of complex operations. However, the progress of the implementation and acceleration of the fifth generation networks has not yet been translated into a significant increase in the profits of Asian telecommunications companies. Since the South Skan Telecom and LG UPLUS (LG UPLUS) (LG UPLUS) to upgrade their clients’ networks to the fifth generation have seen a steady decline in its income for each subscriber, and its Chinese counterpart has achieved no significant improvement. Analysts believe it is too early to determine whether the fifth -generation networks in Asian factories will become an important source of revenue for network operators in the region. What about the sixth generation networks? Before the fully independent fifth generation networks were published, the sector has already begun to discuss the possibility of adopting an improved version known as the ‘5G Advanced’, providing faster download speed for applications such as Direct Broadcasting and Virtual Reality. This technology contains promises of a ‘new model’ and ‘reality that expands’, which keeps in mind the early marketing method of the fifth generation networks. Some have already started talking about the sixth generation networks (6G), and revised some well -known uses to justify it, such as online games, the Internet -connected industrial devices, and the still is still late. If the cellphone network’s update course is as the past decades, executives in the sector would now prepare to start the sixth generation networks within three to four years. But they are currently focusing on increasing revenue from the fifth generation of networks already built. “I think the industry realizes that the demand for fifth generation networks is still joining the offer, which is why there is time to think about the form that the sixth generation networks should be,” says Florian Groni, a partner at Price Waterhouse Copers, which offers consultations to telecommunications companies.
