One could have never imagined that within just a heartbeat, millions of GB of data could get transferred to endless number of connected devices across the world. This is now possible through the new age of technological revolution- the fifth generation of wireless cellular network or 5G.

In the next five years, India is predicted to have over 500 million 5G subscribers, accounting for about 40 % of all mobile subscriptions in the country.1 Evidently, 5G has arrived with substantial abilities and is capable of transforming businesses completely.

In the mobile app development industry, 5G will not only impact the way we use apps but would also bring in new opportunities for developers, tech-driven enterprises, and the e-commerce business world. 5G will allow developers to explore, build new platforms, create new apps, and websites that offer quick, effective, and customized user experience.

There are endless possibilities when it comes to innovation and disruption with the most-awaited announcement of the 5G network, techies are more excited than ever.

But what do these benefits of 5G mean for mobile apps:

  1. Seamless Implementation of IoT

5G will allow numerous possibilities for connected devices that would allow developers of mobile apps to go above and beyond. And through this App development process, it will enable extensive application of IoT. This would in turn increase the adoption of connected devices leading to smarter and enhanced customer experience.

  1. Integration of Immersive Technology

5G will boost 3D and immersive AR based mobile app development. These apps will be useful in offering 3D features across various verticals such as immersive gaming, 3D printing, etc.

  1. AR and VR Integration

Developers haven’t been able to integrate the AR and VR into their apps to its full potential due to existing network issues. Now 5G will help these apps seamlessly use these features. The apps will now be able to deliver engaging and interactive experiences.

  1. Enhanced Cloud Compatibility

Developers will now be able to include cloud accessibility in mobile app development by reducing dependency on hardware. Also, the high transmission rates will allow quick and easy transfer of files to cloud.

  1. Smoother Video Streaming

Media rich experiences can be delivered through 5G powered apps. 5G will deliver high resolution live streaming at blazing speeds.

  1. Reduced Hardware Limitations

Mobile apps which are 5G enabled would have no effect due to hardware limitations. This will empower developers to integrate technologies to drive personalized interactions making use of real-time connectivity and cloud services.

With its exceptional features, it is expected that 5G connectivity will help mobile apps to function more smoothly and efficiently. Developers will be able to use many new features for building apps on mobile devices that were previously limited.
