Abstract:
The rapid advancement of 5G technology presents significant opportunities and challenges for transforming university campus networks and enhancing distance education. This paper explores the impact of integrating 5G technology with university campus networks, focusing on its implications for network performance, educational applications, and the development of distance learning. By examining the core characteristics of 5G, including high speed, low latency, and massive connectivity, the paper highlights how these features facilitate innovative educational tools such as virtual and augmented reality, mobile learning, and smart campus solutions. Through a review of recent literature, empirical studies, and case examples, the paper identifies the benefits of 5G integration, such as optimized network architecture, enhanced security, and expanded application scenarios. It also addresses challenges including investment costs, technology standardization, and the need for adapting educational models. The findings suggest that while 5G technology has the potential to revolutionize educational environments, careful consideration of these challenges is essential for successful implementation. The paper concludes with recommendations for future research, emphasizing the need to explore further integrations of 5G with emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and blockchain in education.
