Network Functions Virtualization

The effects have been notorious, especially if you look back. Although the signal delay is a less visible aspect than the spee of the connection, the improvement is crystal clear with the figures. Drastic latency reuction If we go back to the first mobiles — there was still time for smartphones and we were still only talking about calls — the comparison with current times is almost implausible. 

Since 2G, the GSM-GPRS that we had at the end of the 90s, latency has been reuce by a factor of almost 1,000 times , highlights José Antonio Portilla, professor Phone Number List at the University of Alcalá in the Department of Signal , spokesperson for the COIT.Official College of Telecommunications Engineers. and director of the UAH-ISDEFE Observatory on ICT and Digital Advancement. This is significant progress in reucing latency that has been made in just over two decades. 

Portilla reviews the latencies exhibite by each network generation and how they have been reuce over time.In 2G-GSM/GPRS we move in latencies between 500 ms.milliseconds. and 1 second, in 3G-UMTS we were around 100 -300 ms, in 4G -LTE between 10ms and 100ms and, finally, in 5G we could go up to 1ms. In order to reuce the latency suffere by the signal when traveling from point A to point B, a whole series of technical innovations have been carrie out.
