5G is the fifth generation of cellular network technology and the successor to 4G. First deployed in 2019, its technical standards are developed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) in cooperation with the ITU''s IMT-2020 program. 5G networks divide coverage areas into smaller zones called cells, enabling devices to connect to local base stations via radio. Each station connects to the broader telephone network and the Internet
