The Nation
Imagine a world of internet connection at a speed faster than that of lightening; speed 10 times faster than what is obtained in the fourth generation (4G) network; a world of interconnectedness where the Tv set, door, refrigerator, cars, and other home appliances are being controlled remotely from the mobile phone; virtual surgical operation and telemedicine being executed with clinical precision.
These and many more are the endless promises of the world of 5G network, which is an advancement on the current 4G network being used largely in major cities of Nigeria. Experts say the 5G network is no longer a future technology, as it is being perceived in some quarters, but rather, a technology that will be accessible in the first quarter (Q1) next year ceteris paribus to drive efficiency in virtually every facet of the nation’s endeavours.
