Orange launches its 5G network by making quality of service its priority - Seite 2

In addition, Orange enables its customers to benefit from the best mobile network, according to ARCEP¹ in 2019.

Orange is continuing its efforts in parallel in the deployment of 4G, with an objective of switching 100% of Orange sites to 4G by the end of 2020.

5G, an asset of the energy transition

5G is the first mobile standard that integrates the optimisation of energy consumption into its design. A key element of this increased efficiency is that the antennas activate only on-demand, that is to say, they only transmit in the direction of the devices, only when they are needed. By reducing the transmission of signals to the essential, the 5G network is more energy efficient than 4G: it can absorb much more data traffic while controlling the energy consumption².

5G is also becoming an asset for energy transition by promoting the advent of IoT³: it paves the way for smarter management and optimisation of resources in the home, in cities, in industry and even in agricultural management.

The 5G standard natively incorporated higher security requirements than previous generations, in particular on the encryption of radio communications between the antenna and the core networks.
