All wireless carriers in China are state-owned , which has helped the government to expedite the development of 5G networks, and access to wireless spectrum. It has been argued that early access to 5G would give China an advantage in developing services that can leverage the technology.

5G can be implemented in low-band, mid-band or high-band millimeter-wave 24 GHz up to 54 GHz . Low-band 5G uses a similar frequency range to 4G cellphones, 600–900 MHz, giving download speeds a little higher than 4G: 30–250 megabits per second (Mbit/s).

South Korea and China currently lead in 5G network coverage while Europe lags. But China’s big three telecom companies have slowed investments in 5G networks in 2021.

A: 5G is based on OFDM (Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing) , a method of modulating a digital signal across several different channels to reduce interference. 5G uses 5G NR air interface alongside OFDM principles. 5G also uses wider bandwidth technologies such as sub-6 GHz and mmWave.
