The fifth generation networks (5G) is currently under development and will hit the market at the horizon 2020 . Compared with the current 4G LTE technology, 5G is targeting to reach both high speed (1 Gbps), low power and low latency (1ms or less), for massive IoT, tactile internet and robotics.
Read moreIs 4G as good as 5G?
This is where 5G stands head and shoulders above 4G. In theory, 5G is likely to reach speeds that are 20 times faster than 4G LTE 1. 4G LTE has a peak speed of 1GB per second; 5G could theoretically achieve speeds of 20GB per second.
Read moreIs 4G worse than 5G?
Speedcheck found that 5G networks provided, on average, download speeds that were about 2.7 times faster than 4G LTE networks, with peak speeds about six-fold faster than the previous generation network. However, 5G networks have not always outperformed 4G LTE in a significant way.
Read moreWhich 5G band is best?
Arguably the most useful band for 5G is mid-band , the range between 1 GHz and 6 GHz. Compared with low-band, there is more mid-band spectrum so it can deliver much faster throughput speeds and has far greater capacity.
Read moreWhat are the 3 5G bands?
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 moreHow many 5G bands are there?
5G comes in three major bands which are Low-frequency bands, Medium range frequency bands and High range frequency bands and not all bands are equal. Low and Mid band frequencies come under the Sub-GHz umbrella which is similar to the 4G LTE network that comes in Sub 6 GHz umbrella as well.
