Integrating 5G Networks with Smart Web Applications: A New Era of Connectivity

Abstract

5G network technology delivers high speeds, low latency, and large capacity, enabling more interactive digital experiences. Despite significant advances in 5G deployment globally, there remains a substantial research gap in understanding how this technology specifically enhances intelligent web applications across different sectors. Integrating 5G with intelligent web applications opens up new opportunities in the e-commerce, education, and healthcare sectors by improving connectivity and operational efficiency. This research addresses the limited comprehensive insights into 5G-intelligent web application integration, offering a novel perspective by examining the synergistic effects of these two emerging technologies rather than focusing solely on IoT or communication applications as in previous studies. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study method on five intelligent web applications that have implemented 5G. Data were obtained through interviews, questionnaires with 100 users, and direct observation. The results showed that 85% of respondents felt a significant improvement in access speed and responsiveness of 5G-based applications compared to 4G, while 75% considered 5G's low latency to provide a more satisfying experience, particularly in telemedicine and digital transactions. The main challenges identified were the compatibility of legacy devices and high infrastructure costs. However, long-term opportunities include the development of AR/VR-based applications, improving the quality of remote healthcare services, and accelerating digital transformation in strategic industries. From a theoretical perspective, this research contributes to the understanding of technology convergence in digital connectivity, while practically it provides actionable insights for developers and policymakers seeking to leverage 5G capabilities in web-based applications. These findings confirm that the integration of 5G with intelligent web applications has the potential to usher in a new era of responsive, efficient, and user-experience-oriented digital connectivity.
