Abstract

5G technology represents a transformative leap in wireless communications, promising unprecedented data rates, ultra-low latency, massive device connectivity, and enhanced network reliability. This paper presents a comprehensive review of 5G technology, highlighting its key features, enabling technologies, and architectural innovations. The implications of 5G on next-generation wireless networks, including Internet of Things (IoT), smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and Industry 4.0, are discussed. Challenges such as spectrum allocation, energy efficiency, security, and infrastructure deployment in the Pakistani context are analyzed. Finally, potential research directions and policy recommendations for the successful adoption of 5G in Pakistan are outlined.
