The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) has been providing insights on why the adoption of the controversial 5G in Nigeria will go a long way to positively changing businesses, the national economy and citizens’ way of living.

The Commission said the technology has the potential to provide 20 times faster data speeds and carries a massive amount of data for a large number of simultaneous users.

In a statement made available to DigitalTimesNG, the NCC stated that users in high-density areas like airports, stadia or urban areas can still experience the fast speeds and low latency of 5G services.

“5G, the 5th generation mobile network is a new global wireless standard after 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G networks and enables a new kind of network that is designed to connect virtually everyone and everything together including machines, objects, and devices.

“5G wireless technology is meant to deliver higher data speeds, ultra-low latency, more reliability, massive network capacity, increased availability, and more uniform user experience to more users,” the NCC said.

The Commission explained that as the world replaces more and more household items with ‘smart devices’ that connect to the internet, also known as the Internet of Things (IoT), the 5G network capacity will be critical.

The NCC further noted that 5G will potentially be able to handle more than 2.5 million connected devices per square mile being a transformational change from 4G.

“5G will enhance technological development because of the extremely fast transfer rate of large quantities of data. Overall, it enables interconnected devices for instant communication.

“This is a new connected world of ‘Smart cities’ made possible by 5G networks. 5G network is designed to carry data up to 10 times faster than 4G networks. This means HD movies can be downloaded in seconds.

“5G is extremely fast: it supports data transfer rates of up to 20Gbit/s, if supported by robust fibre infrastructure. On top of that, wireless data delays drop to one millisecond.

“This opens up the potential for multiple driverless cars, where large quantities of potentially lifesaving data have to be transferred almost instantaneously.

“5G will revolutionize and transform our way of life- from education to agriculture, security to entertainment and governance in general.

“On education, 5G will transform our educational system. The availability of a fast wireless network will enable virtual learning,” the NCC further explained.
