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.

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.
