5G technology is developing in Israel, 50 times faster than 4G

The first 5G cellular phone handsets have been produceded in Israel at Hod Hasharon and will be on the market in 2019. This is the last news of manager of Qualcomm Israel, Assaf Touboul. Qualcomm is the world's leading company in terms of chip and processor development for the mobile communications network. The research and development center in Hod Hasharon can be considered as the DNA of cellular communications. 5G is an umbrella of various technologies that covers many spheres. The first and most common is the Internet of Things (IoT) - connecting a great many devices to the Internet, such as refrigerators, lighting, garbage cans, and cameras. What does that mean? A capacity of about 50 times what there is now on 4G, with shorter latencies (response times, G.P.) than there are today. What this actually does is facilitate very dynamic interactivity with the Internet. "This means that processing, which currently takes place on the device, will take place on the cloud or the Internet in the future. Processing for the use of apps will take place on the cloud, not the device. Due to the high speed made possible by 5G, however, the user will not feel the difference at all; he will still feel that processing is taking place within his device. This provides opportunities for a great many new apps in augmented reality, for example, which require many capacities, and also in autonomous cars." What other possibilities does 5G mobile provide? "It can only be imagined. It's revolution, not evolution. A mobile device will run much more quickly for the user, and the experience will feel completely different. It also means that new operators will be able to enter and play on new fields, because we're talking about completely new frequency ranges that will be operated in 5G above 6 gigahertz and in the 28-39 gigahertz range." Said the manager of Qualcomm Israel, Assaf Touboul. Sheashua: "Because the frequency is higher, the technology changes and takes the form of a beam between the device and the site. This enables the operator to provide services efficiently in crowded places, such as stadiums and airports, for example, where there's a severe problem of interference. The high frequency operates like a laser beam between the cellular towers and the device", - he said. However, according to Touboul, the main focus is getting high speed internet and lower battery consumption. That means it will be 50 times faster than the current 4G network. Technology 5G is considered a revolution in cellular phone speed.
