You’re all surprised about 4G?
WELL SAY HELLO TO 5G
The UK has only just seen the launch of 4G (fourth
generation) mobile communication technology, but academics at Surrey University
are already looking at its successor.
They have received £35m from mobile operators, infrastructure
providers and the UK Research Partnership Investment Fund to fund research into
5G.
Prof Tafozolli, professor of mobile wireless communications
and the director of Surrey University's Centre for Communications Systems Research,
said: "4G for us is
old hat. We started working on 4G 10 years ago. "Being a university we
have to be one step ahead of industry."
The 5th generation should be set for 2020
My
conclusion:
I feel this is great for new technology. On the other hand we
are in 2012 and personally I think 4G has come a little too late. We should
have been on 5G at this current stage and not having to read articles about
2020. Besides the critics it’s fantastic that they are already working on new
this new generation of mobile internet, it improves the audience’s experience.
As we progress into the future we will see better technology being produced
that we had never even thought of. I feel that there is no full stop to new
technology, in years to come we will see flying cars. This is the great thing
about digital media that there are no boundaries and viewers experiences will
just keep on improving, making expectations amongst consumers grow.
