The telecommunications industry has launched something called 5G, so named because it's the fifth generation of wireless networking technology to keep up with the proliferation of new wired devices and cars, not to mention the deluge of video streaming. The pledge is that on your computer, 5G can carry speeds of about 10 gigabits per second. That's more than 600 times faster on today's cell phones than the average 4G rates, and 10 times faster than the normal home broadband service of Google Fiber, easy enough to download a 4K high-definition video in 25 seconds, or to stream many at the same time. Anyhow, finally. While in dozens of cities, US carriers have launched 5G networks, the first ones aren't nearly that fast. Initially, many carriers started rolling out 5G by building on top of their 4G or LTE networks that provided a lot of connectivity, but not at the speeds most associated with 5G. Gradually, separate versions of their networks have been launched by the big American telecom providers, meaning they don't piggyback on existing infrastructure.

Now after years of promises and years of waiting, 5G is finally finding its way into the pockets of consumers. Several auctions for the 5G spectrum have been conducted by the US Federal Communications Commission. 

The Trump administration said in August that it would sell off more portions of the mid-band spectrum to spur the implementation of 5G.

5G is more than cell phones; 5G systems should be able to support a vast number of users almost in real-time, too. As the number of internet-connected vehicles, environmental sensors, thermostats, and other gadgets accelerates in coming years, that will be crucial. "For instance, 5G could not only help autonomous cars communicate with each other a sort of "hey, on your left! Set of switches, but also highways, signs, parking meters, and signals someday. And the low latency of 5G means that 5G could allow remote surgeries to allow doctors to manipulate network-connected surgical instruments thousands of miles away in one location; medical providers may also be able to rely on 5G to quickly transmit high-resolution images for diagnosis and treatment use. Manufacturers may use 5G networks to remotely track production lines and maintain their factory floors with video feeds.

 

[Why is it important that 5G does not piggyback on existing infrastructure?

"While in dozens of cities, US carriers have launched 5G networks, the first ones aren't nearly that fast. Initially, many carriers started rolling out 5G by building on top of their 4G or LTE networks that provided a lot of connectivity, but not at the speeds most associated with 5G."

It is important that 5G does not piggyback on existing infrastructure because it does not perform efficiently on existing 4G or LTE networks. This has been the result of 5G's initial launch in the US as stated by the above information.

Why is this network getting separate infrastructure?

"Gradually, separate versions of their networks have been launched by the big American telecom providers, meaning they don't piggyback on existing infrastructure."

5G is getting its own infrastructure so it can work on its full potential. As stated in the earlier sentences, 5G speeds are 600 times faster than the average 4G speeds. If the technology can efficiently perform with an independent infrastructure from its predecessor, then 5G networks can be fully utilized its users such as the big American telecom providers.

What would be a good connection between the discussion on speed and 5G's own infrastructure to help the readers understand how these ideas relate to one another]

A good connection to bridge these ideas would be a brief explanation on how the process works. How does the current 4G networks connect the users? How is it possible that 5G networks could use these existing networks? It is helpful to discuss the simplified version of this process so that the non-technical readers could understand why is it inefficient and what prevents the newer technology from reaching its full potential. Also, it will be explained further if an example will be provided--a comparison of situations wherein 5G is used over an existing network and over a separate infrastructure. What is the difference in speeds? Can it cover more connections? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

Step-by-step explanation

[What can it be add to ensure that 5g sentence clearly introduces the focus on the utilization of 5G? what should the focus of the paragraph be?]

The paragraph seems to jump from one situation to another. It can be further organized by introducing an outline or path in the first sentence of the paragraph. For example:

"5G is more than cell phones; 5G systems should be able to support a vast number of users almost in real-time, too. The primary purpose of 5G is to build more efficient and faster communication. It plays a vital role in making the world connected. This new technology can be beneficial to a lot of industries including transportation, environment protection, health, and manufacturing. As the number of internet-connected vehicles, environmental sensors, thermostats, and other gadgets accelerates in coming years, that will be crucial. ..."

The focus of the paragraph will be around the crucial purpose of 5G networks and how it significantly help our current situation. The utilization of the new technology should be able to discuss the difference between when 5G is used to when it's not.
