Standard for independent 5G is finalized and the technology is coming

There is still a lot of work to do before the fifth generation of mobile internet is available globally, but the technology has just taken another step to make it happen in the near future. It is that 3GPP, a group that includes telecommunications experts, has announced that it has finalized the standardization of the independent 5G this week.The new standard allows the 5G to be unrolled with a completely new network architecture. It is the evolution of the 5G NR (non-independent) version, which had already been approved in December last year.Now, with the new standard, it is possible that the commercial launch of the 5G will happen in 2018 in some markets, with the mass adoption beginning in 2019 by some carriers, such as the US AT & T, for example, that has already promised start testing the technology later this year.The independent standard for 5G, besides increasing (and very) the speeds of the mobile network, still opens the doors so that other industries, besides the telecommunications, have the advantages of 5G in its operations.
