Will 5G completely replace 4G?

5G data services can be an ideal partner for SD-WAN at-home deployments — either as a primary circuit for broadband replacement or as a complement to the existing broadband service for redundancy and QoS.

5G networks are not being designed to replace 4G , rather they are designed to work in conjunction with 4G networks. Therefore, no one really knows when 4G will be phased out because cell phones that are 5G-capable will still be using 4G technology for quite some time to come.

6G is the sixth generation of wireless technology. A 6G network follows up on 4G and 5G, building on the revamped infrastructure and advanced capacity currently being established on millimeter-wave 5G networks.
