As Vodacom Launches 5G Services in Tanzania , lets find out what is it & how it works.
In what is expected to be a game-changing event in the country's digital transformation, telecom giant Vodacom Tanzania Plc launched the first 5G technology presence in Tanzania on September 1, 2022. lets find out what it is.
What is 5G Technology ?
The fifth generation of cellular technology is known as 5G.It is a technological generational leap where everything is brand-new, including the radio, core network, and spectrum frequencies.
While the app economy and mobile video have advanced thanks to 4G's speed and capacity, 5G is a platform for completely new developments.
In many aspects, 5G is likely to outperform 4G as it spreads around the world.
It will be able to handle more users without becoming congested and send and receive far more data than 4G.
You understand exactly what we're talking about if you've ever attended a sizable concert or sporting event when your data speeds become agonizingly slow.
The theoretical top speed of 5G technology is 20 Gbps, compared to 1 Gbps for 4G.
Lower latency is another benefit of 5G, which can enhance the performance of corporate applications and other digital experiences (such as online gaming, videoconferencing, and self-driving cars).
While past cellular technology generations (such 4G LTE) concentrated on guaranteeing connectivity, 5G takes connectivity to the next level by providing connected experiences to customers from the cloud.Cloud technologies are utilized by 5G networks, which are virtualized and software-driven.

How 5G Technology works
Network architecture will advance thanks to 5G technologies.The spectrums not occupied by 4G will be covered by 5G New Radio, the international standard for a more capable 5G wireless air interface.
Massive MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) technology, which enables many transmitters and receivers to send more data simultaneously, will be included into new antennas.However, 5G technology is not just available in the new radio frequency.
It is intended to provide a network that combines licensed and unlicensed wireless technologies in a convergent, heterogeneous fashion. Users will have access to more bandwidth as a result.
The 5G architectures will be software-defined platforms, where software rather than hardware will be used to control networking capabilities.
The ability of 5G architecture to be nimble and flexible and to give anytime, everywhere user access is made possible by advancements in virtualization, cloud-based technologies, IT, and business process automation.
Network slices are software-defined subnetwork constructions that can be produced by 5G networks.
With the help of these slices, network administrators can specify how users and devices should interact with the network.
By enabling automation through machine learning (ML), 5G also improves online experiences.
5G networks must use automation with machine learning (ML), and eventually deep learning and artificial intelligence, in order to meet the demand for response times within fractions of a second (such as those for self-driving cars) (AI).
The connected experience will be improved by automated provisioning and proactive control of traffic and services, which will lower infrastructure costs.
