What is 5G, and what does it mean for drones? - The Drone Girl

You've heard the buzzword at CES, drone conferences, on forums and in tech company marketing. But what is 5G, and what does it actually mean for the drone industry? In human-speak, 5G means significantly faster networks than the current standard, 4G. For example, 5G is expected to allow you to download an entire movie to your phone within seconds, while it could take many, many times that to download a movie over 4G. In the drone industry, that means not just the ability to quickly transfer massive files from a mapping project.
