Cellular networks known as 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G. Well, before knowing the development of cellular networks, maybe some of you don’t know what G is? 1G is the first generation of cellular networks used to make phone calls. Given that the development of cellular networks has now entered the 5G generation. So, before getting to know the 5G cellular network, you must have used the 1G network with a maximum network speed of only 2 kbps. Thus, this network can only be used to make phone calls. As is well known, in 1991 a commercial company in Finland introduced the 2G network with a maximum speed of 473 kbps. Of course, this network has a higher speed than the 1G network which can only be used to make phone calls. While the 2G network can already be used to send text messages and images. Then in 1993, cellular networks were in demand by the Indonesian people, especially in 2005 people were able to enjoy streaming videos and music. Of course, by using the 3G network and data access can reach speeds of 2 Mbps.
With the increasingly dense community activities, now the cellular network is updated, the 4G network was first introduced in 2009 in Norway, Oslo, Sweden, Stockholm. The sophistication of the 4G network with a speed of 1 Gbps can be used such as video streaming, online games, and friendship applications (Facebook). In Indonesia, the 4G network began to be developed in 2014. Well, at that time, Blackberry and Apple became the most widely used cellphone brands.

As a 4G network that is only capable of providing a speed of 1Gbps, the 5G network has a faster capacity of 20 Gbps. In Indonesia, the 5G cellular network has been utilized in various regions in Indonesia with Telkomsel as the main pioneer. The 5G cellular network has now entered its 5th year as a cellular network that has helped in various fields such as internet use for teachers and students, then housewives who we know have entered the business world.
