Will 5G work indoors?

One of the main drawbacks of millimeter wave-based 5G is that wireless high-band technology does not work well indoors . This is because millimeter wave, or MM wave, signals struggle to penetrate building walls and certain types of glass, thus hobbling indoor 5G performance.

Why 5G Cannot penetrate walls?

The value behind 5G stems from its ability to use a much wider spectrum at higher frequencies. The catch, though, is that as these frequencies heighten, the ability to penetrate material decreases . Current 4G technology largely operates on the 700 MHz band of the spectrum.

Why does the wall block 5G?

5G mmWave signals more likely to be blocked by physical barriers such as walls, buildings, and trees because its signals are transmitted at higher frequencies (option D). This can be explained in the following way: Lower frequency bands cover a longer distance but have a slower data rate.

Is 5G easily blocked?

However, it is expected that 5G signals may suffer interference. They can be easily blocked or diffused by physical object (buildings or atmospheric and environmental events) and will have a smaller footprint compared to other waves (2, 3 and 4G)[3].
