In addition to higher throughput than previous generations of mobile networks, 5G offers smarter, more powerful, and more energy-efficient connectivity. For the general public, 5G offers smoother access to services when on the move and richer, more immersive experiences. For companies, 5G streamlines industrial processes and improves their way of working. Services in smart cities including the management of water, energy, waste and transport for example will also be redesigned with 5G.
Orange’s ambitions for 5G:
Thanks to its network expertise, research and innovation capacity, ecosystem and international presence, Orange is a leading European operator in 4G and the leading FTTH operator in Europe. With 5G and in addition to existing networks, Orange aims to maintain its leadership position and provide new services adapted to its customers’ changing usage patterns.
In the long term, 5G will offer speeds up to 10 times faster than 4G. For instance, it will be possible to download a 4 GB HD film in between 2 and 3 minutes in 5G (estimated value according to average download time) instead of 13 minutes in 4G.
