Human society faces important challenges to overcome every day and one of them is to overcome the digital divide that means the constant evolution of technology and how it reaches different countries around the world.

This gap directly impacts wireless technology, but there is the possibility of reducing it and, in addition, gaining other important advantages such as in the area of sustainability. That is why today we will analyze emerging communication issues such as the digital divide, sustainability and wireless technology.

1.- The digital divide

It is clear the existence of the digital divide in areas of wireless technology, especially its application in communication which is developed in a quite different way, if we take into account highly developed urban societies, as opposed to underdeveloped countries and even more, their rural areas.

The most economically powerful countries are the first to integrate new telecommunication technologies, while underdeveloped and poor countries are the last to implement such technologies.

This produces a digital divide, which, instead of combating the economic leveling of countries, only increases inequalities.

In this case, 5G technology aims to reduce this gap, developing symmetrically in both developed and developing countries, making use of government permissions, state bureaucracies, information that helps to break the myths about 5G, and investments from private companies to reduce this digital divide.

2.- Sustainability

Another challenge that wireless technology must face is sustainability, since, as time goes by, the awareness of the damage we cause to the environment every day becomes a key aspect both in the population and in technology companies.

In this sense, the expansion of networks throughout the world implies a proportional growth in terms of electricity consumption, being increasingly necessary energy production processes, which not only serve to install new wireless connection technologies, but also promote the production of energy to keep them running.

Therefore, it becomes very important to focus on the sustainability commitments made by public administrations, companies and also citizens, in order to create a common path between technological development in the communication area and the struggle to keep our planet safe.

3.- Challenges of Wireless Technology

These are the challenges facing wireless technology, which, while becoming more accessible to all people in terms of communication, there are other important areas that need to be given relevance, setting public policies, sustainability commitments adopted by companies, patterns of use and moderate consumption by users.

This combination would help not only to reduce the economic gap between countries, but also to create a suitable environment to reduce the digital divide through the sustainability of wireless technology.
