UScellular this week showed millimeter wave isn’t just for high-density urban areas, stretching signals over a distance of 7 kilometers (around 4.35 miles) with sustained average download speeds of 1 Gbps in a 5G fixed wireless access trial.
Read moreWhat is a benefit of 5gmm wave technology?
Millimeter wave technology will allow a 5G network in which all applications—even ones that have not been created—will get industry-leading speed and reliability . Rich, heavy data packets will travel at lightning-fast speeds, with imperceptible network latency. Lag times will all but vanish.
