From a Technical Point of View, the 5G will be able to obtain Rates multiplied by 10 and Connection Times divided by 10. Simultaneous Processing will be 10 times higher and can support more Objects connected by Antenna. Thus, 5G will support the Exponential Growth of Internet Usage in Mobility. The First Smartphones capable of supporting this New Technology will be available in 2019. This Development is therefore naturally part of Monaco´s Evolution as a Precursor in the Field of Connectivity, and accompanies the Principality´s Digital Transition, a Project led by M.Genta.

5G is the Fifth Generation Cellular Network Technology. The Industry Association 3GPP defines any System using "5G NR" (5G New Radio) Software as "5G", a Definition that came into General Use by late 2018. The First Fairly Substantial Deployments were in April 2019. In South Korea, SK Telecom claimed 38,000 Base Stations, KT Corporation 30,000 and LG U Plus 18,000; of which 85% are in Six Major Cities... Verizon opened Service on a Very Limited Number of Base Stations in the US Cities of Chicago and Minneapolis... Six Companies sell 5G Radio Hardware and 5G Systems for Carriers: Huawei, ZTE, Nokia, Samsung, Datang Telecom, and Ericsson.... Beyond Mobile Operator Networks, 5G is also expected to be widely used for Private Networks with Applications in Industrial IoT, Enterprise Networking, and Critical Communications.
