The new 5G networks have higher download speeds, eventually up to 10 gigabits per second (Gbit/s). In addition, 5G has higher bandwidth and can thus connect more different devices, improving the quality of Internet services in crowded areas.
Due to the increased bandwidth, it is expected the networks will increasingly be used as general internet service providers (ISPs) for laptops and desktop computers, competing with existing ISPs such as cable internet, and also will make possible new applications in internet-of-things (IoT) and machine-to-machine areas.
