5G

What is 5G?

5G is the fifth generation of mobile network technology. It takes mobile data connectivity to the next level, increases speed and reduces latency. Connecting people, devices, machines and virtually everything, 5G will transform the way we live, work and play.

5G is around 10 times faster than 4G. Average speeds can range from 200Mbps to 700Mbps and peak speeds can reach up to 1Gbps.

Speeds may vary depending on devices, location and other environmental factors.

  • It will transform the way we live and can help make life better.
  • It will set the stage for new opportunities and help make significant improvements in various fields.
  • It is a futureproof technology for Internet of Things (IoT), Augmented and Virtual Reality (AR/VR) and smart cities.
  • Superfast data connection for smoother downloads and seamless streaming.
  • Connecting multiple devices without compromising network quality even in busy places.
  • Increased responsiveness with low latency.

With IoT, there will be massive data exchange among large numbers of connected devices. And we will need extremely increased capacity, stable and secure connectivity and low latency. Hence 5G is considered as a key driver for IoT.

5G Devices

We have a wide range of 5G compatible devices. Discover here.

It depends. Under certain conditions, using 5G can consume more battery power than 4G. The phone’s power consumption depends on the specific service and network environment. More battery power will be consumed when services with large data consumption (such as video streaming and gaming) are running, or when the network signal is weak.

Compared to 4G, 5G provides faster network speeds per unit of time, indicating a larger power consumption.

To save battery, on your phone’s settings screen, set the 5G Power Saving mode to automatically switch between 4G and 5G networks to save battery.

To be able to experience 5G, you also need:

  1. A 5G compatible router/modem
  2. A my.t 5G SIM (USIM)
  3. An active unlimited mobile data pack.
  4. To be in a my.t 5G coverage

Miscellaneous

There may be different reasons for that:

No. The 5G label on your home Wi-Fi router indicates that it operates in the 5GHz(gigahertz) spectrum band. Wi-Fi is based on a different technology than 5G (fifth-generation wireless).

Availability of 5G overseas will depend on roaming agreements with other operators.
