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.22 Ara 2020

There are three types of 5G being built in the U.S. including low-band, mid-band and high-band mmWave 5G . It’s confusing for consumers, especially since there aren’t phones that support all three yet. AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile/Sprint all have different strategies.
Read moreWhy is it called 5G?
To keep up with the explosion of new connected gadgets and vehicles, not to mention the deluge of streaming video, the mobile industry has introduced something called 5G—so named because it’s the fifth generation of wireless networking technology .10 Eyl 2020
Read moreWhat is the range of a 5G signal?
5G wavelengths have a range of about 1,000 feet , not even 2% of 4G’s range. So to ensure a reliable 5G signal, there needs to be a lot of 5G cell towers and antennas everywhere.16 Eki 2020
Read moreHow close to a 5G antenna do you need to be?
Because high frequency waves have a harder time traveling over distance & through objects, the 5G network will be built on small cell site technology with antennas as close as 500 feet apart .
Read moreDoes 5G require more transmitters?
Different applications require different antennas In general, 5G mobile networks can operate in various frequencies and hence requiring different antennas for different frequency bands.17 Eyl 2020
Read moreHow is 5G transmitted?
Like other cellular networks, 5G networks use a system of cell sites that divide their territory into sectors and send encoded data through radio waves . Each cell site must be connected to a network backbone, whether through a wired or wireless backhaul connection.
