5G NR Differences from LTE LTE has a packet-switched architecture that supports a wide range of data applications . Voice is also supported as voice over LTE (VoLTE) or using fallback mechanisms to 3G and circuit-switched technologies. The 5G NR specification embraces a flexible air interface.

LTE Advanced uses carrier aggregation to speed mobile data over the network more quickly than ever before, providing customers with 50 percent faster peak speeds . Today, more than 98 percent of the U.S. population has access to 4G LTE and 90 percent of Verizon Wireless’ data traffic is carried over the network.

5G continues the evolution of wireless after 1G, 2G, 3G, and 4G. With 5G, networks can move vast amounts of data more efficiently than with 4G LTE . That means: Faster speeds to download movies and shows or video chat on the go.

What is 5G New Radio? 5G is the fifth generation of wireless technology and NR stands for a new radio interface and radio access technology for cellular networks —a physical connection method for radio based communication. Other kinds of radio access technologies include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 4G LTE.
Read moreHow does 5G NR support higher peak data rates than LTE?
In terms of peak data rate, NR can support a much higher rate than that of LTE-Advanced, mainly due to its larger band- width per CC and its ability to aggregate up to 16 CCs com- pared to 5 CCs for LTE-Advanced . For example, the downlink peak data rate of LTE-Advanced is 3 Gb/s, whereas it is 171.2 Gb/s for NR in FR2.
