How is 5G more secure than 4G?

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.

Like other cellular networks, 5G networks use a system of cell sites that divide their territory into sectors and send encoded data through radio waves . Each cell site must be connected to a network backbone, whether through a wired or wireless backhaul connection.

For the first time, your connection is shielded from rogue devices that may capture phone calls by mimicking cell towers . Your ID with 5G is encrypted. Plus, a more robust encryption algorithm scrambles the traffic when your voice and data travels from your device to the cell tower.
