Abstract

The potential of fifth generation (5G) networks will contribute to the development of countries. The capabilities of 5G, such as a huge increase in transmission speed, decreased latency, improvement of the service delivery in places with a high user density and facilitates ubiquitous communication between devices. This allows 5G cellular networks to be the required support to establish reliable communications in real time with a view to the massification of the services established in Internet of Everything (IoE). In particular, the challenges and opportunities involved in the deployment of 5G in Ecuador are analyzed and discussed. This paper presents a review of recent literature on the deployment of 5G networks and the status of the implementation of this technology in Ecuador, considering its advantages, health implications and policy strategies on the use of frequencies and deployment. In addition, potential applications are mentioned that could be used to take advantage of many problems that have arisen during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as the lack of Internet access networks. In particular, it analyzes and discuss the challenges and opportunities involved in the 5G deployment in Ecuador.

Keyphrases: 5g architecture, 5g health issues, 5g networks, 5g services
