As expected, the International Telecommunications Union has established its own terminology for fifth generation mobile networks, choosing “IMT-2020” as its own nomenclature for what most people will come to know as “5G.”
The name IMT-2020 is an extension of the ITU’s existing family of global standards for International Mobile Telecommunication systems (IMT-2000 and IMT-Advanced) which serve as the basis for all of today’s 3G and 4G mobile systems, the ITU said.
The name itself reveals the expected commercialization of the standard. Networks based on IMT-2020 are expected to become available in 2020.
At the moment, the expected new capabilities will support apps such as extremely high definition video services, real-time low-latency applications and Internet of Things (IoT).
The ITU-R Radiocommunication Assembly, which meets in October 2015, is expected to formally adopt the term “IMT-2020”.
