Are there 5G towers in NZ?

5G Core (5GC) is the heart of a 5G mobile network. It establishes reliable, secure connectivity to the network for end users and provides access to its services.

The companies best positioned to take advantage of the 5G growth include Ericsson, Nokia, and Qualcomm .

5G operates in a high-frequency band of the wireless spectrum. 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 .

A small tower and 5G cell site costs $30,000–$50,000 . The cell site will also require commercial power and batteries if the wireless network is expected to work during a power outage.

What are 5G Cell Towers? Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband network utilizes small cells, or nodes, in addition to traditional towers . 5G small cells are similar to 4G towers in form and function. Verizon is building thousands of additional 5G nodes to maximize and deliver 5G millimeter wave technology to our customers.
