So, it's a change worth making.5G enables decentralised, mobile-connected clouds for applications that provide the required resources with greater agility and flexibility.5G can provide individual applications with flexible network capacities, as might be required by the emergency services during a major incident for example.With inOne mobile from Swisscom and a smartphone to match, you’re ready.
Will 5G enable remote-controlled robots to revolutionise the building sites of tomorrow?
This is important because we now send as much data in half a day as we used to send in a week five years ago.The network is more sustainable with 5G: it only takes 0.2 watts to transfer one single megabyte of data.
Carrier aggregation is a way of increasing the data rate per user by connecting several frequency blocks together.
Now, the wait is over.
