The next generation of networking and mobile technology, 5G, will deliver vastly greater data capacity and speed than previous generations. By comparison, 5G connections will deliver 1,000 times the data rates of 4G. This dramatic leap will involve a number of new mobile technologies working together, including transmission at much higher frequencies (30–300GHz), deployment of many small-cell low-power base stations, MIMO (supporting many more ports per base station), beam forming (which enables more-efficient use of spectrum and reduces interference) and full-duplex transmission.
