5G Range. The trade-off for speed at mmWave frequencies is limited range . Testing of 5G service range in mmWave has produced results approximately 500 meters from the tower, meaning a huge propagation of MIMO-enabled antenna arrays would be required for pure standalone 5G deployment.
Read moreWhat are the pros and cons of 4G and 5G?
5G gives secure, fast service more reliably than 4G due to better use of bandwidth and more connection points. With less stress on the network, data costs can fall lower than 4G networks. 5G can carry more devices than 4G as it expands the available radio waves.
