Is 5G coming soon?

Telstra reveals that we could have a new 5G network running as early as the first half of this year and Australians could be one of the first in the world to have this privilege. They already have a number of smartphone manufacturers bringing their 5G compatible phones exclusively to their 5G network.

This could mean that we can download a 4K movie on our smartphones in only a few seconds! Not only will data transfer will be at hyper speeds, but consumers will be able to enjoy high quality streaming and gaming.

The benefits are huge!

Supportedge is an environmentally conscious workplace that practices what it preaches. Three things the average consumer can do and we encourage consumers to do, to reduce your business’ and households’ environmental impact are: 1) Recycle your electronic waste (e-waste): “Australians generate more than 140,000 tonnes of e-waste each year and most of it ends up in landfill,” as stated on the City of Sydney’s website.
