5G coming to Cyberjaya

In the news, Cyberjaya is going to be trial location for mobile 5G Testing. Maxis the biggest mobile operator in Malaysia is working together with Huawei on this.

Cyberjaya is a good candidate for this because there are a lot of companies doing trials on smart cities frameworks in Cyberjaya. These smart cities stuff uses a lot of IoT devices that connects to the internet. Secondly MCMC the governing body for Internet related stuff in Malaysia is also conveniently located at Cyberjaya.

5G is 10x faster (Yes, it is really really fast)

The future I predict with 5G
- Mobile plans are going for unlimited.
That's the only way to go , there is no point of adding more bandwith with a cap on the total bandwidth.
- All things will moved into fully mobile
Everyone and I mean everybody , your parents, children , foreign workers all will be using mobile
- Huawei is further going into world domination
There is no second company that can rival Huawei in this area, they have long invested in this area ahead of their rival
- People will demand instant access
If your apps is slow, people will leave it as used tissue paper. There is just no room for slowness anymore.
- Everything will be connected to the internet
This give rise to all the wireless devices which can connect to the internet. The rise of IoT (Internet of Things), your fridge, your door bell will have seamless access to the internet.
