What is 5G NR or 5G New Radio?

5/2/2024


The telecommunications world has witnessed a revolutionary change with the introduction of the 5th-generation mobile network. 5G is the successor to existing wireless mobile networks including 4G, 3G, and 2G. The introduction of 5G NR also known as 5G New Radio, the next-generation wireless access technology has enabled us to interconnect everything ranging from IoT devices to sophisticated industrial IoT machinery, helping to establish a smart connected environment for humankind.

Expanding the abilities of 5G, 5G NR i.e 5G New Radio was introduced in 3GPP Release 15 and expanded its capabilities in the following releases, to pave the way to another revolutionary 5G standard, 5G NR-Light also known as 5G reduced capability or 5G- RedCap. As wireless networks become more advanced, let’s dive in and build a foundational knowledge of what 5G New Radio is and how it levels up the connectivity game.

5G NR is the next-generation standard for wireless communications standard set for mobile telecommunication. The "NR" in 5G NR means 5G New Radio, and it signifies the new 5G air interface being used for the transmission and reception of 5G signals. This technology supports lower latency, higher system capacity, and massive device connectivity, all under lower energy consumption rates. 5G NR enables communication by employing a certain frequency of electromagnetic radio waves. It uses three sections of bandwidth

5G NR enables communication by employing a certain frequency of electromagnetic radio waves. It uses three sections of bandwidth

  • Low band(below 1GHz)
  • Mid band (1- 6GHz)
  • High band (above 24GHz

The high band is also named as mmWave band or millimeter wave band. It uses two frequency ranges- 5G FR1 and FR

  • Frequency Range 1 (5G FR1)- includes sub-6 GHz frequency bands and below
  • Frequency Range 2 (5G FR2)- includes frequency bands in the mmWave range of 24 and 52 GHz

This wide spectrum opened by the 5G New Radio standard bridges the limitations possessed by other predecessors. It eliminates network congestion with a broader spectrum which in turn increases the data transmission rates.
