Right after the auction of the frequencies for the fifth mobile communication generation “5G” was completed in June, network operators started offering the new mobile radio standard in several major German cities. Especially for industry, it promises to be of great use in the near future.
In a video interview, Dr. Rüdiger Quay, deputy director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF, explains the advantages of “5G”, the differences compared to its predecessors “4G” and UMTS as well as the contribution of Fraunhofer IAF to this new technology.
