5G, IPv6, and the Evolution of Mobile Networks
5G, IPv6, and the Evolution of Mobile Networks Mobile networks are changing quickly. 5G brings faster speeds, lower latency, and new services such as remote operation, augmented reality, and industrial automation. IPv6 provides almost unlimited addresses for devices and improves routing and privacy in modern networks. How 5G and IPv6 fit together 5G uses a flexible, service-based architecture. It can create network slices for different needs, such as a high-reliability lane for emergency services or a separate lane for many IoT devices. IPv6 offers scalable addressing for phones, cars, and sensors, enabling direct communication and simpler routing. Together, they simplify management and improve end-to-end connectivity. ...
