Globe says Big Three get ready for the 5G revolution

The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that when T-Mobile and Sprint announced Sunday that they had agreed to merge in a $26-billion (U.S.) deal, they argued that only the combined company would have what it takes to build the next generation of wireless networks: 5G. Guest columnist and author Ray Sharma writes that in Canada, the Big Three carriers -- Bell, Rogers and Telus -- have been conducting tests and announcing partnerships with network providers to prepare for the 5G future. Mr. Sharma believes that 5G is the biggest thing in mobile since the App Store, which launched in mid-2008. 5G is so vastly superior that it promises to revolutionize the software application experience on a vast and broad basis. The buzzwords of the year -- the Internet of Things, autonomous vehicles, artificial intelligence -- are all relying on a dramatic network evolution in order to support a new generation of application software. 5G promises to be 100 times faster than 4G and 25,000 times faster than 3G. Mobile users will be able to experience gigabit-per-second download speeds. The telcos must continuously improve their networks to ensure capacity, speed, reliability and availability across the country.
