What are wireless communication networks?
Have you ever considered how electricity really works? That wonderful resource that allowed us to obtain light and without which we would not consider surviving today? Unless you're an electrician or electrical engineer, you probably know the basics. Electricity is essential to power appliances and there are different ways to obtain it; wind, solar, etc.
The same thing happens to us with the internet and communication networks. We know they are essential, however, our knowledge of the subject is just the tip of the iceberg.
Wireless communication networks are not something new. In the 80s they were implemented in the first analog telephone. Do you remember those oversized devices that rarely got a signal? That was the incursion of "1G" technology into the world. We could only receive phone calls.
Later, 2G technology arrived, which allowed, in addition to receiving calls, the transmission of data; such as text messages and images (the latter being slow and unhelpful). 3G technology improved all the drawbacks of its predecessors; Now we could connect to the Internet, make calls without interference and even send photographs at a speed 250 times faster than 2G.
When we thought it couldn't get any better, fourth generation technology introduced greater speed in data transmission and the possibility of sending videos and connecting in real time.
What does 5G technology offer us?
5G technology will allow your smartphone to navigate up to 10 times faster than its speed. current; improving the experience in interactive games and even in online casinos. Can you imagine betting connected to a 5G network? Luck + Speed = Profits. Find here more information about online casinos in Argentina.
If you are over 25 years old, you probably learned to be patient thanks to download times of more than 3 days. With 5G technology, we will be able to download entire movies in seconds. Yes, seconds.
To give us a clearer idea of how incredible 5G technology is, let's consider that 4G technology has a latency (time between the request for information and the response) of 100 milliseconds and 5G will have a latency of between 1 and 2 milliseconds. We will go from one video to another without blinking.

When can we enjoy 5G technology?
The implementation of 5G technology in the world was expected at the beginning of 2020. Currently there are 19 countries with 5G coverage in some parts of their territory; Switzerland (90%), Ireland (25%). The health emergency caused by the Covid-19 coronavirus has delayed the implementation of the fifth generation, rescheduling it in many countries for 2025.
Each country has an implementation plan according to its economic and social capabilities. Although 5G technology will bring many benefits to industries and individuals, its usage costs will be higher than those of 4G networks. This in addition to the added costs for the construction of antennas and radio bases that provide coverage to the network.
