While in the Argentina Only a few months ago operators started rolling out fifth generation (5G). mobile phoneinnovations in the sector Mobile technology They are advancing at full speed globally.

As part of the Mobile World Congress (MWC) from Barcelona, Huawei announced days ago the start of a new era In terms of connectivity: the 5.5G.

The next generation of mobile Internet –up to 10 times faster than the current standard 5G– will promote the use of advanced applications that require greater speed in data transmission compared to those most widespread today, such as social networks.

This includes, for example, the software of new glasses. virtual and augmented realitycalled to become the next star of the tech industry after the launch of the Apple Vision Pro; as well as expected advances linked to artificial intelligencesolutions for smart cities, industrial automation applications, autonomous vehicles And until when air taxis.

What is 5.5G

Telecommunications networks require standardthat is, globally accepted technical rules that define how a technology works and how it works interoperability globally.

“5.5G, as the name indicates, is a evolution of 5G. This is the application of different solutions within the standard to be launched commercially before the arrival of 6G, which is still under development”, he explains Clarin Juan Bonoravice president of HuaweiArgentina.

THE advantages of the 5.5G standard are “ten times faster (10 gigabits OR gbps download, compared to 1 gbps for 5G), a latency (time that passes between a stimulus and the response it produces) really a lot minor and the possibility of locate the devices at a level of detail of a few centimeters,” adds Bonora.

This evolution of mobile networks can be used” in scenarios that 5G could not support, such as indirectly brings benefits to the entire sector“.

“An example is the area of virtual, augmented or mixed reality. It also offers solutions for devices that allow this three-dimensional visualization without the need to wear glasses. All of these devices make much more demanding use of transmission capacity. For transmit a 3D image you need at least double the bandwidth”, concludes the telecommunications engineer.

5.5G: when it could arrive in Argentina

Huawei hopes so 2024 be the year in which the commercial implementations of “advanced 5G”: the company has in fact claimed to have helped operators to start checks and tests more than 20 cities from the Middle East, Europe, Asia and Latin America.

A few days ago, during the MWC, the Chinese telecommunications equipment supplier revealed this eight 5.5G “innovation practices”. which he says will help companies build networks on the new standard later this year all frequency bands.

The technology is available now. will arrive at Argentina when the telecommunications operators (Personal, Movistar, Claro, Arsat, Telecentro) decide to carry out necessary investments to offer the new networks to its users”, clarifies Bonora.

Globally, the The development of 5G is already very advancedand the growth rate of 5G users worldwide reaches seven times that of 4G users.

“Near winds% of all global mobile users already are using 5G networks. These users are responsible for 30% of the traffic total furniture e 40% of the income obtained by the operators”, explains Bonora.

In Argentina In particular, the development of 5G was upon us delayed due to the difficulties in completing the auction of radio spectrum frequencies, which are the routes through which wireless communications circulate.

Telecommunications (Staff) have already installed several 5G base stations Buenos AiresTHE Atlantic coast AND rosary beads, with which 5G is now a reality in Argentina. Nonetheless, optimizations and increases in coverage continue to be made, especially in communications networks. 4G because there is still a large percentage of the so-called device fleet that only supports that standard”, adds the vice president of Huawei Argentina.

And he closes: “It will depend a lot each user makes the substitution from their current phones to the most advanced models with 5G and 5.5G.

In short, it will be the economic context, as always, that will define the exact date of the landing of the 5.5G in Argentina.
