  Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission   ( BTRC)  has lately announced that it will give licenses to mobile operators to roll out 5G services in the band spectrum of 2.6-3.5 GHz by the first quarter of 2020 after the guidelines have been drafted. The stark difference is that 5G brings the speed of the network (up to 10Gbps) compared to 4G (up to 100Mbps) which implies it is almost 100 times faster than 4G. 5G is indeed not an evolutionary upgrade but a revolutionary upgrade to the existing wireless technologies. It can usher a lot of benefits in our country. The health sector of our country can leverage a lot from the ultra-high-speed of the 5G network. For instance, it can be used to transmit large volumes of medical files like a report of an MRI scan (up to 1GB) or an emergency diagnosis to a skilled specialist from a very remote place within a matter of a few seconds. According to a Market Research Future study, 5G will also boost telemedicine with a compound ann
