Internet Network Evolution from the past to 5G

Nowadays, technology is getting more and more sophisticated, and even many technological trends will be created in the future. Along with the development of technological sophistication, now comes 5G technology, or the fifth-generation network.

With the presence of 5G technology, it will give a new face to the internet, because many people want speed when surfing the internet. Do you know the long history until the creation of 5G internet technology? Below we will review together about the evolution of internet communication networks, which can answer this question.

The Evolution of Internet Communication Networks

It doesn’t feel like time has passed, from the first communication tool “the telegraph” which was created in the 1837, then in 1979 ago, the first network with 1G technology was created until, cutting-edge internet technology has arrived today, 5G. Previously, we felt that the internet with 4G technology was already fast, but with 5G, the internet speed could be faster many times over.

Network Technology

For those of you who want to answer the question earlier, just below is the history of network development from 1G to 5G today :

  • 1G Network

First-generation in mobile phone technology. This network technology was first launched in 1979. The reason is, this network uses an analog system called AMPS. The maximum speed is 2.4 Kbps and can only make phone calls.

  • 2G Network

2nd generation cellular network is arguably the beginning of the birth of digital technology. First came in 1991 with several new features starting to be, including exchanging text messages (SMS), and picture messages (MMS). Faster than its predecessor with its maximum speed reaching 473 Kbps.

  • 3G Network

The 3rd generation became the successor to 2G and was introduced in 2001. 3G began to present a variety of internet services, such as browsing, email delivery, video and music streaming, data sharing, to teleconferences. This technology is able to deliver faster data speeds than the previous generation with speeds reaching 2 Mbps – 5.76 Mbps.

  • 4G Network

The 4th generation that you can feel until now, and is still widely used by the public, 4G. First commercialized in Norway in late 2009.  The era of 4G networks can be said to be the birth of the creative content industry and digital startups. 4G began to evolve into LTE-Advanced with speeds reaching 1 Gbps.

  • 5G Network

The fifth-generation, is the most cutting-edge technology of the current network technology. Introduced in Chicago and the Minneapolis for the first time in mid-2019. It can be said that 5G is much 1000 times faster than 4G, and the speed will be equivalent to a Wi-Fi network.

The 5G Internet access network is claimed to be the key to developing other technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and driverless cars.

Overall Conclusion

5G technology, is a dream technology that can be very useful in today’s society, due to the increasingly high need for connectivity with the internet. Hopefully, the information about the evolution of internet communication networks it can be useful for you in getting to know this technology. Good luck.
