Fiber Internet Network vs 5G

Fiber Internet Network vs 5G

Dear readers,

Here is a recent message today from a physicist friend:


"We know mobile wireless delivers data service to mobile devices through the air and is one of the few ways to offer flexible Internet service to public areas. Over the past few decades, wireless and wire-line Internet services have coexisted to deliver various Internet options to consumers and businesses. Fifth-generation cellular Internet service, known as 5G, is marketed to compete directly with wire-line options, marketing the idea to replace your other Internet services altogether.

5G is a wireless technology that delivers data service to mobile devices through the air like other wireless phone services. Wireless service is deployed through a wireless base station that serves the surrounding area. As a result, 5G transmitters will work more like WiFi, providing service to small, open areas, rather than drop-in replacements for 4G. In addition, wireless signals diminish in power over a distance far more quickly than fiber; therefore, to cover the same area as traditional wireless systems, 5G availability requires more devices at different locations to be deployed. Like its predecessors, 5G continues to use fiber optics to serve these transmitter sites.

5G Disadvantage #1: Higher Latency

5G promises some latency improvements over 4G/LTE to users. Technology improvements to antennas and encoding equipment will allow mobile phone carriers to make better use of data passing through the system; however, long-distance 5G does not look to be a step forward at this time. Latency challenges persist due to the nature of wireless technology, and the short coverage area that is central to 5G technology makes for a difficult replacement for wireline and fiber connectivity options.

5G Disadvantage #2: Inconsistent Speeds

In optimal conditions that rely heavily on signal strength and interference, 5G's speeds are much faster than its predecessors. 5G is prone to external issues due to the nature of its use of high-frequency wave signals. The high-frequency wave signals do not easily pass through buildings, thick foliage, inclement weather, or other obstacles. Tests have revealed that 5G has a difficult time penetrating walls and modern UV coated windows, this issue is reduced by additional equipment being placed within the building or home. The most commonly delivered 5G, low-band, will deliver speeds around 25 Mbps to 100 Mbps. This looks to be the predominant user experience within structures, and behind obstructions once services are rolled out with the additional equipment. The high band can see speeds up to 2 Gbps but is limited to what has been called the "5G shuffle". This "shuffle" is the bouncing around between local 5G transmitters to deliver gigabit speeds. Both distance and interference can dramatically decrease this performance.

Summary

Fiber Internet is one technology that has been proven to scale to the needs of individuals and businesses alike and will be used well into the future. But right now by far is 5G is still very new, and how it will actually work in real-world scenarios has yet to be seen. What we do know is that fiber Internet delivers faster speeds and is the way to go for the most reliable service with the ability to reach incredible speeds in the very near future."
