Is there an additional value provided by 5G NR networks?

in network •  4 years ago 

I previously raised a topic in which I ask about the coverage of 4G LTE networks in different countries. This time, I am not asking about 5G coverage, but rather about its value. Since the announcement of the fifth generation networks, it has been raising controversy about its negative effects on human health, due to the strength and capacity of the frequencies compared to previous generations of n

etworks. This has not stopped telecom companies from adopting these networks.

When I went to inquire about the most prominent services provided by various companies, companies no longer provide 4G service except for those who have an old device. Existing internet devices are either fifth generation devices or fiber optic devices. When looking at the prices, I find that fiber packages offer a higher value than 5G networks, due to the amount of data they provide compared to the speed.

5G NR networks support long range Sub-6 or mmWave communication. According to the information that I have read from various sources, 5G networks in the region only support the long range, which does not offer higher speeds compared to 4G networks.

If we come to the practical side and the real benefit of speed, here we discover lies in marketing. For someone who is the most data-consuming person watching video, he gets nothing. Sites like YouTube and Netflix use DASH or Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP to deliver video content. DASH broadcasts small portions of the video according to the user's need, so if the user pauses the video, the broadcast will pause as well. Broadcasting resumes if the user resumes watching the video. The DASH method is designed to reduce stress on servers as more devices are connected to the server. A site like YouTube is accessed by millions around the world at the same time, and the DASH method helps relieve stress and reduce problems caused by the large number of users.

In the case of YouTube, 1MB / s speed is sufficient to watch any clip, and any higher speed will not provide a significant benefit. In my experience to download videos from YouTube, the download speed of the clip does not exceed 2MB / s, which is much less than the speeds provided by the fourth generation networks. Yes, 4G networks are sufficient for most users. Through my use of 4G networks during the past six years, the highest download speed has reached 10MB / s, but not from those popular sites, but from Kaggle. I was at dawn at the time, and I was working on a report for the school days lab experiment, but I was doing the reports at home, and we were asked to download a dataset containing pictures, and the number of pictures was overwhelming. The number of images is important for machine learning applications. That was the only time I had a high speed and speed was essential to get the report completed in the fastest time.

Going back to the 5G networks, I mentioned that the bundles' prices are high, as if the telecom companies are selling us air. Does anyone have an experience with a fifth generation device or a phone that supports the fifth generation? What is the package value? How big is the benefit from the fifth generation?

Your opinion on this matters to you guys
