5G's Pros and Cons, and the Risk to Data Privacy
Evaluating the Strengths and Weaknesses of 5G Technology Implementation Associated with Data Privacy Background As technology has been rapidly advancing, the Internet is becoming the primary source of connection between humans across businesses, governments and public services. To fulfil the greater demand from users, a fifth generation of mobile wireless network (5G) has been designed in the last couple of years to provide extremely fast speed, broader bandwidth for more device connection, and to reduce connection latency (Shankaranarayanan & Ghosh, 2017). However, it has been argued that the 5G implementation provides a significant threat to privacy due to its newly design technology (Aiqing & Xiaodong, 2017). This paper will provide an overview of 5G wireless network, and evaluate the opportunities and challenges of its implementation. 5G has been innovated to anticipate the tremendous growth of smart devices and technologies communicating via the Internet.
