The 5G phones currently on the market are “backward compatible ,” meaning that they are capable of functioning on earlier-generation networks outside of 5G coverage areas.
Read moreWhat happens when 5G is turned on?
5G will bring wider bandwidths by expanding the usage of spectrum resources , from sub-3 GHz used in 4G to 100 GHz and beyond. 5G can operate in both lower bands (e.g., sub-6 GHz) as well as mmWave (e.g., 24 GHz and up), which will bring extreme capacity, multi-Gbps throughput, and low latency.
Read moreWhy are we moving from 4G to 5G?
The directionality of 5G is important because 4G towers send data all over, which can waste power and energy and ultimately weaken access to the internet . 4G networks use frequencies below 6 GHz, while 5G will use much higher frequencies in the 30 GHz to 300 GHz range.
