The evolution of mobile networks from 4G to 5G and beyond. The potential applications of 6G and the role of Byanat's analytics platform in supporting next-gen networks by leveraging data analytics, AI, and machine learning.

What is 5G and what are its benefits?

The fifth generation of mobile networks, or 5G, has transformed the way we communicate, providing lightning-fast data speeds and lower latency than its predecessor, 4G. As was mentioned in the article “5G vs 4G” by Erisson; the rollout of 5G has unlocked new possibilities for industries such as gaming, healthcare, and transportation, as well as enabling massive IoT (Internet of Things) deployments.

Thales group has stated in their paper “5G VS 4G: WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?”; with data transfer speeds up to 100 times faster than 4G, 5G has allowed for real-time communication, opening doors for technologies like autonomous vehicles, virtual and augmented reality, and telemedicine. The low latency and increased capacity provided by 5G are critical in handling the massive amounts of data generated by IoT devices, making it possible to create smart cities and industries.

The progress towards 6G and its potential applications

As the deployment of 5G continues, researchers and industry leaders are already looking ahead to the next generation: 6G. Expected to become commercially available around 2030, 6G aims to deliver even faster speeds, lower latency, and increased capacity. It's predicted that 6G could achieve data transfer rates up to 100 times faster than 5G, reaching terabit-per-second speeds.

According to Nokia’s “6G explained” article; the introduction of 6G will revolutionise technologies like holography, allowing for truly immersive augmented and virtual reality experiences. It will also enable seamless integration of AI and machine learning into various industries, further transforming the way we live and work.
