5G is the next (and fifth) generation of wireless technology systems that provide faster speed and are comparable to fiber optic cables. Early testing of this technology shows that the real world speed can reach from 0.7 to 3.025 Gigabit per second, which means movies that took minutes to download with 4G, will now only take seconds with 5G. The two main highlights of this technology are its high bandwidth and low latency.

This technology will surely become transformative to the industries due to its lower latency which allows faster data transmission of larger data streams. Furthermore, 5G is more reliable as it has the capability to transmit data better in extreme conditions. On top of that, 5G is known to be more flexible than Wi-Fi and can support a wider range of devices available in the market.

Wi-Fi6 is one of the technologies that has been verified for more than 3 years, Only in 2019, the Wi-Fi Alliance initiated Wi-Fi6 Certification, indicating that Wi-Fi6 has officially entered the Mature Commercial use phase. Currently, in the market, we could see many devices that support Wi-Fi6. For example, iPhone 11 series, network adapter released by intel, and Wi-Fi6 routers from different companies in the market.

There are several advantages gained from Wi-Fi6 in which are, large bandwidth, low latency, high concurrency, and low power consumption. Firstly, the bandwidths improved from 1.73Gbps (Wi-Fi5) to 9.6Gbps (Wi-Fi6). This has improved the bandwidths by 2.8 times compared to Wi-Fi5. Secondly, the coverage range is improved by 40%. This allows a house with 120 square meters house to have 5GHz coverage. Thirdly, there is a big improvement in network capacity and efficiency, thus power consumption is reduced by 30%. These advantages allowed us to do multiple things that we can’t do with the previous Wi-Fi5. Such as Wi-Fi6 able to support Gigabit Broadband Promotion (1Gbit/s to mobile devices and PCs), increased the speed of uplink and downlink experience better multi-user experience.

Wi-Fi 6 and 5G technology is a big influence and has many benefits that assist humans from a Technological perspective. The evolution of Wi-Fi6 and 5G not only improves our productivity rate but also helps us to get the best experience being on our devices. For example, with the help of 5G, we can download large files within minutes, which would have taken hours with the previous technologies. 5G and Wi-Fi6 enable better coverage indoors and outdoors that would help us to be online and reachable wherever we are. With these two technologies evolving, we as people should also be ready to adapt to them, so that these technologies can be used at their most credibility. With that, it will help the technologies to be evolved to even better phases. To conclude, everyone should try to adapt to these two awesome technologies as it will result in a better world for us from a technological perspective.
