(-00-05 they say 5G is going to completely change our lives – from as simple to gaming, to
-08-11 this shift will be a decade upgrade for our wireless systems.
-12-15 now, that all sounds great but what is it and when can I get it?
(-15-20 well, there’s a brand new, second generation, cellular module from the current leading
chip
-25-29 except, we all don’t exactly have 5G phones yet, nor a 5G mobile network.
-33-37 if you’re just being brought up to speed, 5G, is known as the fifth generation of wireless
-39-43 every time the technical rules that define the inner workings of cellular networks changes,
-44-48 we get a new “generation, “or “G” of technology, meaning to reap the benefits
-48-53 people have to buy whole new phones, and carriers will need to install new transmission
equipment
-55-1:01 when we got 1G it was for voice calls only, but then 2G gave us text messages, 3G added
-1:01-06 that multimedia support that we can’t imagine being without, like vidchats and faster
speeds,
-1:07-13 and now we have 4G – which has all the features of 3G but an added bump of speeds from
14
(-1:18-24 now we have video chats in HD, HD mobile TV, and live streamed apps)22 but this next
one is
-1:25-30 5G is anticipated to give users the fastest connectivity they’ve ever experienced.
-1:31-35 its thought to be so fast it’d compete with our current fibre optic cables we have in
-1:35-38 our homes, and about ten to hundred times faster than the phone you currently have in
(-1:40-45 but other than the major benefits of downloading “8K”videos in seconds,)43 and using
VR and
-1:45-51 AR seamlessly (goodbye buffering) why does the world want data coming in so fast?
-1:51-57 well, 5G connectivity promises reduced latency, or lag time, to practically zero.
-1:58-2:01 meaning devices can communicate with each other in nearly real-time.
-2:01-06 we’re talking about major improvements in the responsiveness in devices that use sensors
-2:06-11 to make important decisions; like self-driving cars that need to suddenly brake, or
industrial
-2:11-16 robots that can be sent to hazardous areas and be controlled remotely from anywhere in
(-2:19-24 from telemedicine, precision surgical robots, to remote surgery, or even virtual physical
-2:31-36 well, 5G system will run on smaller what they call, cell sites, that divide their territory
(-2:37-43 then, exchanges between cell sites and devices are made with encoded data, through
radio waves,
-2:46-50 what 4G LTE uses, but the frequencies they use within the spectrum are.
-2:51-56 right now the low-band spectrum that 4G LTE travels on is overly crowded 56(and
therefore
-2:59-3:04 which, by the way, doesn’the seem too bad running on Verizon visible for only
$40/month,
-3:12-17 The plans are for low-band frequency 5G to operate through 4G cell sites that companies
-3:19-23 but the encoding will be more flexible and use a bigger channel size to get up to 50
-3:27-32 but since we want the multi-gigabite, ultra-fast, speeds, we’re going to use higher
frequencies
-3:32-34 on the millimeter wave spectrum.
(-3:35-40 now it slightly varies, but millimeter waves are signals estimated to be above 24GHz or
-3:40-44 30GHz range where there’s enough spectrum available to create big channels for very
-3:46-50 but what researchers have been struggling with is the fact that these wavelengths are
-3:56-4:00 that’s why we have to get the small cell sites.58( Hundreds, if not thousands of lower-
power
-4:00-05 base stations (outputting only 2-10 watts each) will have to be built in and around city
-4:08-12 there are select places around the U. S. That actually already have some of them, BUT we
-4:12-15 still need our devices to upgrade to get the speeds we want.
-4:17-21 Qualcomm is a wireless chip maker and they’ve been the forefront of advancements in
chip
(-4:24-29 their new one, creatively called Snapdragon X55 5G, is a millimeter wave modem that
would
-4:29-33 run along their new millimeter wave antenna the QTM525..
-4:34-38 the idea is that these modules will help smartphones connect to the new and improved
network of
-4:42-46 they anticipate that phone makers will embed three or four modules in their devices, so
-4:46-51 the device always gets a signal from one module even if the others are blocked by
something
-4:51-56 like your hand. And Qualcomm is not the only one, there are other brands that are in the
-4:59-5:02 so, for us to really reap the benefits of this all-powerful 5G speed.
-5:05-09 you can’t have the 5G phone without the 5G network, and you can’t have the 5G network
-5:09-13 until you get the mini cell towers, but companies are making massive strides.
-5:14-17 most of the phones and networks are planning to launch at the end of 2019.
-5:18-21 so keep your eyes peeled, and your phones ready to throw out.
