Evolution towards 5G

The evolution towards 5G is being defined to offer not only a new access network with bandwidths 30 times greater than 4G, but also latency targets of less than 1 ms, densities of 10 ⁶ connections per km ² , and tens of Tbit/s/km ² , mobility access at 500 km/h, energy consumption reduced to a tenth of current consumption, new service deployment times of 90 min, rather than days or weeks as today, and 99.999% reliability - in other words, a communications service that's always available on an increasingly reliable and autonomous network.

But, the defining factor of 5G is the support of billions of connected objects with densities in excess of 10 ⁶ /km ² ...
