5G: The Telecom 
Disruptor
https://www.esds.co.in
What is 4G?
• 4G has become a revolutionary trend in the telecom sector, 
replacing 3G connectivity
• 4G is responsible for facilitating reliable connections at high 
speed transfers
• 4G LTE (4G-Long Term Evolution) is responsible for providing 
faster connections for mobile Internet
• 4G connectivity is governed by various LTE-Frequency Duplex 
Division, LTE-Time Duplex Division, WiMax, and HSPA+
• Accelerated adoption of in-expensive smart devices and 
increased demands for better connectivity are the key drivers 
of 4G technology
https://www.esds.co.in
Global 4G Markets
• Global 4G LTE market value is expected to reach 
$322.77 billion with a 38% CAGR during the period 
2017-2023
• Global 4G LTE market is divided into 4 regions- North 
America, Asia-Pacific, Europe and Rest of the 
World
• Market growth driven by advanced spectrum efficiency, 
allowing the repurposing of broad spectrum for 
broadband
• Asia-Pacific region is expected to the fastest growing 
region during the forecasted period led by countries-

What is 5G?
• The 4th Generation (4G) LTE wireless technology laid the foundation 
of today's 5G technology 
• 5G wireless signals are going to be transmitted by a large number of 
small cell stations 
• It has a band spectrum between 30 GHz and 300 GHz 
• Due to this band spectrum, 5G relies for generating high speeds and 
can travel over short distances
https://www.esds.co.in
Expected Features of 5G
• Some key features that can be expected from 5G includes-
i. An estimated 10 Gbps broadband speed with peak speed 
reaching up to 20 Gbps
ii. It may automate several network behaviours
iii. It may offer platform-enabled services for vertical markets
iv. Accelerated service delivery at lower costs'
v. Using network slicing for deploying multiple virtual 5G 
networks on a common infrastructure

Adopting 5G
• The adoption of 5G is expected to be faster than 4G
• Number of 5G mobile connections will surpass 1 billion by 
2022
• By 2025, there would be 2.8 billion subscribers globally
• Initial adoption is projected to be at 10 million 5G 
smartphones sold in 2019
• The adoption of 5G by 2020, will be governed by two factors-
i. Major Android manufacturers will have 5G devices in market
ii. Apple is expected to have a 5G-enabled iPhone by next year

Global 5G Market
• A rise in demand in mobile broadband, ever-
growing use of smartphones and smart wearable 
devices, bundled with surging demand of mobile 
video adoption will be the key drivers of 5G 
technology between 2019-2025 
• During this period, the market is expected to reach 
$277 billion with a CAGR of 111%
• The governments of Japan, China, South Korea, 
along with the US, have been active in pushing the 
rollout of 5G technology by the end of this year

Why 5G?
https://www.esds.co.in
Improved Precision
• Will use unique set of radio 
frequencies which will be higher 
and more directional than 4G
• Will use higher frequencies 
ranging from 30 GHz to 300 
GHz
• Will use shorter wavelengths 
than 4G
• May support 1000 more devices 
per unit meter 
https://www.esds.co.in
Low Latency
• Less time taken for signal to travel, 
will lead to lower latency levels
• Immersive experience in VR/AR
• Provide endless opportunities, 
changing the way consumers shop
• Autonomous cars using live maps 
for real-time navigation on 5G
• Eliminate problems currently faced 
in self-driving cars
https://www.esds.co.in
High Download Speeds
• Will hold the potential to be at 
least 20 times faster than 
4G
• Enabling 20 times faster 
download of large volume of 
data
• May reach a peak speed of 
20GB/s

5G and IoT (Autonomous Cars)
• Self-driving cars generate huge 
volume of data, which would 
require faster networks
• When 5G will be adopted to its 
full potential, it is going to offer 
an Internet speed, which is 10 
times faster than 4G
• Exciting possibilities in 
autonomous cars for Vehicle-to-
Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-
Everything (V2X) connectivity
• Low latency to make vehicles 
safe and reliable on roads https://www.esds.co.in
5G and Big Data
• 5G will revolutionize the handling of 
Big Data and improve the 
communications, caching and other 
computing capabilities
• 5G will play a significant role in Big 
Data processing as it is 24x7 available
• It will have an impact on network 
storage computing capabilities
• 5G will transport data at fast rates to 
different centres for analysing data
• It is going to act as a bridge between 
the data sources and data centers

5G in India
• Currently spread of fibre in India lies below 30%
• For 5G implementation, 70% fibre spread is needed
• Challenges in India to set up 5G lies in- high land costs and way of 
approvals
• Reliance Jio is working to bring 5G in India by making it available to 250 
million plus subscribers
• Jio is also working to bring market devices to operate on AR/VR 
technologies
• Current infrastructure of Jio comprises of- chipsets, peripherals
• Jio partnered with Ericsson to showcase a live demonstration of 5G
• Jio shall bring in 5G technology sooner, as work-related to infrastructural 
improvements have begun

Conclusion
5G technology is definitely the upcoming technology in the 
telecom industry with a very high bandwidth faster data 
transfer rates. Globally, some countries are still using 4G 
technology, but shortly, 5G will be used for serving the 
emerging technologies such as Big Data and IoT.
