11. 5G Networks: The New Generation of Connection

According to the essay, what is 5G?
1. A new type of smartphone released every ten years.
2. The fifth generation of wireless network technology.
3. A technology that only improves internet speed for mobile phones.
4. The system that powers all current self-driving cars.
The essay states that the key benefits of 5G include high speed and which two other features?
1. Enhanced security and lower cost.
2. Low latency and massive capacity.
3. Wider coverage and better battery life.
4. Robotic surgery and autonomous cars.
Based on the passage, what is "latency"?
1. The number of devices a network can handle.
2. The ability to download large files almost instantly.
3. The delay between sending a command and the network responding.
4. The technology that connects smart appliances and sensors.
Why is low latency particularly important for certain technologies, as mentioned in the essay?
1. It allows more people to use their phones in a crowded stadium.
2. It enables the connection of countless smart devices for the Internet of Things.
3. It prevents dangerous situations when a delay could be critical, such as in remote surgery.
4. It makes downloading movies and music much faster for consumers.
The "massive capacity" of 5G is best illustrated in the essay by its ability to:
1. Make video calls much clearer than on 4G networks.
2. Handle connectivity for thousands of devices in a small area, like a stadium.
3. Replace all existing Wi-Fi routers in homes and offices.
4. Provide a stronger signal in rural areas compared to 4G.
