However, there is not a fix standard or protocol defined on how 5G will be, but there are certain features that are attributed to 5G that will make it a key future technology that will drive feature economies by creating new business models and providing new employment opportunities. The features of 5G technology have remarkable advantages over 3G/4G.

This paper will briefly discuss limitations of 3G/4G, what 5G will be, what technologies will enable 5G and some use case where 5G can be applied in developing countries which will improve their economies.
