7 | without issues, fueling a dynamic explosion in the IoT. Plans are in place to support a reality that has >1M (>10 6 ) devices per square kilometer (km 2 ). Speed With much greater connection speeds, 5G potentially promises data rates of 1–10Gbps in contrast to current connection speeds of 50Mbps. Download speeds will also improve. Latency Latency, the time delay before a transfer of data begins, will be improved. Reliable, low-latency communications will drop to under 1ms, an improvement at least in an order of magnitude of >10 1 = >10. Because of low-latency, fast-moving, real-time devices, applications such as self-driving vehicles will have the capacity to locally process, decide, and respond with faster than human reflexes. Spectrum Efficiency 5G's greater spectrum efficiency, through novel multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) antenna and associated technologies, will enable more bits of data to be transferred at specified frequencies. Power Efficiency 5G's powerful network processing and control will realize significant gains in its network power efficiencies, enabling more data transfers while lowering energy consumption per data bit transferred. It is expected, despite the high device density coupled with high data streams, that overall 5G network power will be lower than today. This lower power consumption will also extend battery life for devices in the field, ensuring that field replacement issues do not overwhelm users after initial installation. Throughput Taken into mutual consideration, all these previously mentioned facts mean that the level of 5G data throughput will explode. High throughput requires high-level infrastructure support to keep things operating smoothly. 5G Components: A Quick Glance at What Is Happening Mouser Electronics is a leading authorized electronic component distributor, supporting an engineer›s design and supply chain component needs. To this end, Mouser Electronics is the premier source of advanced technology products from leading manufacturers who supply the latest products to enable your 5G applications. Let's look at how some of these leading companies are focusing their efforts to support the coming 5G infrastructure. (Note: This list is not comprehensive but is only intended to be representative. The companies have been placed in alphabetical order by company name.) Analog Devices has built one of the longest standing, highest growth companies within the technology sector, utilizing cultural pillars such as innovation, performance, and excellence. Acknowledged industry-wide as the world leader in data conversion and signal conditioning technology, Analog Devices also specializes in radio frequency (RF) and power products. The company's 5G efforts are focused on the development and supply of amplifiers, clocks and timing, data converters, interfacing, isolation, microcontroller units (MCUs), power management, RF, sensors, and wireless connectivity. In the 5G space, Analog Devices will be introducing a 12-bit, 10.25 gigasamples per second (GSPS), JESD204B, RF analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Its high-speed converters include the AD9208 their ADC dual 14-bit 3Gsps ADC w/
