The key difference between 4G and 5G is speed — 5G is expected to be much faster than 4G while offering lower latency and better bandwidth . The cellular infrastructure that enables wireless communication gets upgraded roughly every 10 years. Currently, 5G is slowly replacing 4G around the world.

5G uses a scalable orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) framework. 5G benefits greatly from this and can have latency as low as one millisecond with realistic estimates to be around 1 – 10 seconds. 5G is estimated to be 60 to 120 times faster than the average 4G latency .

Reports state that the 5G network provides the fastest speed, decreased transfer rates, increased bandwidth and provides more opportunities for connectivity and reliability . Latency times could be as little as 1 millisecond or less. That is significantly lower than the 120 milliseconds on the 3G network.
