What is peak data rate in 5G?

Long Term Evolution (LTE), which evolved from conventional 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) systems, is expected to provide downlink and uplink peak data rates of over 100 Mbps and 50 Mbps, respectively.

But the higher frequencies also allow higher antenna gains to be generated without increasing physical antenna size. 5G can utilize these increased antenna gains through beamforming both at the transmitter and at the receiver , which helps mitigate the impact on coverage at higher frequencies.5 Kas 2018

5G is faster than 4G. 5G can be significantly faster than 4G, delivering up to 20 Gigabits-per-second (Gbps) peak data rates and 100+ Megabits-per-second (Mbps) average data rates.
