What exactly is 5G, and how does it vary from current 3G and 4G services?

5G is a fifth-generation mobile network capable of transferring enormous amounts of data at high speeds.

In comparison to 3G and 4G, 5G has very low latency, which will improve user experiences in a variety of industries.

Low latency refers to the ability to process a large amount of data messages with minimal delay.

The 5G rollout is also projected to accelerate progress in remote data monitoring in industries like as mining, warehousing, telemedicine, and manufacturing, among others.
