3GPP unveils 5G logo
The 3GPP standards group has released a logo for 5G, to help set apart the next generation of mobile network technology from its predecessors. The logo can be used from 3GPP Release 15, the first set of technical standards for 5G, the 3GPP said in a statement on its website. 

The 3GPP agreed in June 2016 on a work plan for Release 15 and expects to have a draft ready by the end of 2018. At that point operators and equipment makers can use the logo for the launch of the first 5G networks. The final Release 15 should be confirmed in 2019. 

The 5G logo builds on the existing LTE waves with a new design, and uses the green of the LTE-Advanced Pro logo to highlight the technology's continuous evolution. It will also be used for the 5G Phase 2 Release 16 specifications, planned for completion in 2020, and any future releases covering 5G.

5G: a big step forward but still business as usual

What is 5G? Why is the industry so excited about it when 4G is barely on the market? When will the new technology reach the market? What can we do with it and what are the implications?
