5G is the foundation technology for all others to improve, says expert

The 5G auction, which takes place this Thursday (4), should boost the development and use of new technologies, assesses Arthur Igreja, a specialist in technology, innovation and digital security.

In an interview with CNN, he explained that the impact of the new technology will be “gigantic” for Brazil, since more than 60 countries have active 5G. For the specialist, the implementation of 5G will enable the creation of new businesses, such as the revolution in video platforms in the early 2000s, after the emergence of broadband.

“The 5G has a very low latency, which is the delay for the signal to go from one side to the other, and a speed that can be up to 100 times higher,” said Igreja. “It’s not just a technicality. We are talking about the emergence of the new generation of digital businesses, which is essential, especially when it comes to Brazil’s insertion in the digital economy.”

For him, the 5G notice is of historic importance, as there will be “a before and an after” with the implementation of the technology.

Church assessed that the use of 5G by consumers should not take long, after all, it is also in the interest of companies participating in the auction to distribute the new network as soon as possible.

“They want to get it all up and running as quickly as possible so they can have revenue. We are talking about the application of smart cities, for example”, he said.

“[Com o 5G] if you can make use of artificial intelligence and so much technology that is available and it’s not just for social networks — it’s to improve our lives in various areas, but for all of that, it needs coverage. It is essential to have this base technology so that all others are effectively used by people and companies.”
