5G is the 5th generation mobile network, the technology that lets us use our cell phones.

It follows on from 1G, 2G, 3G and… 4G.

The first generations only allowed us to make phone calls and send text messages.

The latest have allowed us to develop new uses: connecting to the Internet, using apps or making video calls.

With 5G, downloading huge amounts of data to your cell phone is even faster.

For example, this allows us to watch movies or play high-resolution video games wherever we are!
