Fifth-generation (5G) mobile networks are a significant topic in the acceleration of mobile networks.
Networks are gradually being upgraded with 5G equipment to replace existing 4G technologies. With this upgrade comes an expectation from users for a significant increase of network traffic data speed, but this creates a big challenge for operators... It's just not that easy to accelerate something twenty times!
Victor Puš, CTO Netcope Technologies, has written an easy to digest article about the specifics of building 5G networks.

Article:
"Fifth generation mobile networks are a big theme of today. Users obviously hope for quicker data rates from 5G. There is a promise of up to 20 Gbps, which is about twenty times more than the theoretical speed of the current 4G networks.
On the other hand, telcos are scared of the costs of the upgrade of their networks. After all, to accelerate something twenty times is not that easy. At this point, public discussion is mostly led by new frequencies and about territorial coverage with the 5G signal. But equally, if not more difficult technical battle will be fought backstage, particularly about the aggregation of user traffic and its connection to the Internet from the telco network."
Interesting article Laura - thanks for posting.
