Once commercialized, 5G mobile communications technology will be capable of ultra-high-speed data transmission up to several hundred times faster than even the 4G LTE-Advanced technology due for launch later this year.
FORBES: This Announcement From Samsung Should Have Cable Companies Quaking
It can share its high-speed HSPA cellular data or Internet connection over Wi-Fi with up to 10 devices, such as laptops or other PDA phones.
The company says three large US mobile operators are already customers for its Rocket Optimizer tech, meant to speed up all manner of data even as mobile connections have gone from dial-up to broadband speeds.
And if the 10 megabits per second you're getting from your Wi-Fi network now just isn't cutting it, there are a few new wireless technologies--some already on the market and some still cooking in the IEEE's oven--that will eventually speed up data transmission speeds considerably and add other capabilities.
The huge investment plan is a bet on the growing customer demand for high-speed networks that can efficiently transfer large amounts of data without clogging up.

White space technology will be one way of meeting the growing demand for data in the UK. Ofcom is separately planning to free up more spectrum in the future for the next generation of high-speed data services, already dubbed '5G'.

The mobile grabs data off the Web about three times as fast as a regular dial-up phone connection, plenty of speed for e-mail and sending photographs or videoclips.
T-Mobile will bulk up its U.S. wireless network starting this quarter and will sell high-speed data services beginning next year, company execs said Friday.
This could be important in future high-speed links, because when rates of data transfer approach 100 gigabits per second, non-linear effects begin to mess up the signals.
But it drew fire last year when it was revealed that one of the parties interested in the GPS-motion data was Dutch law enforcement, so it could figure out the best place to set up speed traps.
