5G is the next generation of mobile network technology focused on higher speeds, lower latency, and higher connection densities compared to previous generations. It aims to offer peak data rates over 10Gbps, latency under 1ms, and support over 100 times more connected devices than 4G. 5G will enable new applications like enhanced mobile broadband, massive machine type communications, and ultra-reliable low latency communications.
