Abstrak— Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk membahas perkembangan teknologi jaringan seluler mulai dari generasi 0
hingga yang sedang dibicarakan sekarang yaitu 5G atau generasi 5. Dengan membandingkan standarisasi, teknologi,
kecepatan, teknologi pendukung tulisan ini diharapkan dapat menjadi panduan bagi masyarakat umum yang belum
terlalu memahami tebtabg perbedaan antara setiap generasi.
Kata kunci— Jaringan Selular, Generasi 4 (4G), Generasi 5(5G) dan Komparatif.
Abstract— This paper aims to discuss the development of cellular network technology from generation 0 to 5G or fifth
generation. By comparing the standardization, technology, speed and supporting technology of this paper is expected to
be a guide for the general public who have not really understood the difference between every generation.
Keywords— Cellular network, FOURTH Generation, FIFTH Generation and Comparative.
