An increase in the number of smartphones and connected devices and an increase in data traffic has led to congestion in the existing network, thus, increasing the demand for high bandwidth for various end-users.

This has paved the way for the network that can provide high speed and uninterrupted data at low latency. The introduction of the fifth generation (5G) communication network is expected to overcome speed barriers and enable faster data transmission.
