The most evident advantage of 5G networks over 4G(fourth-generation) is the speed of the network. However, there are also advantages relating to reduced latency – meaning faster response times as well as fast download speeds. This opens up a wealth of potential applications across industry due to improved operational efficiency. Among the applications for 5G are superfast broadband with no need for landlines, 5G mobile telecommunications, the creation of smart factories, holographic technologies, televisions, remote healthcare, and driverless cars with 5G communication as well as car-to-car communication. 4, record 1, English, - fifth%2Dgeneration%20network
