It is expected that in terms of data streams, a 5G standard would have peak download and upload speeds of more than 1 Gbps. The development of the bit rates offered by cellular systems is however hard to predict, since the historical bit rate development has shown very little resemblance with a simple exponential function of time (as opposed to for example Moore's law for computing capacity). The data rate increased by a factor 8 from 1G (NMT 1.2 kbps) to 2G (GSM 9.6 kbps). The peak bit rate increased by a factor 40 from 2G to 3G for mobile users (384 kbps), and by a factor of 200 from 2G to 3G for stationary users (2 Mbps). The peak bit rates are expected to increase by a factor 260 from 3G to 4G for mobile users (100 Mbps) and by a factor 500 from 3G to 4G for stationary users (1 Gbps).
Standards are developed as the product is.
