However, to provide high speed to several devices, there needs to be more number of 5G cell sites.Ī current issue with today’s network is latency. 5G cell sites will be able to cover the connectivity of more devices to the network in a small area. Due to this fact, more devices need connectivity in smaller regions. Furthermore, with radical technological changes in cars (like self-driven cars), they too need connectivity to the network. With technological advances, the number of devices owned by a person also increases. This new technology also induces a change in the number of cell sites that are required for coverage and the number of devices that can connect to a single cell sight. This incremental innovation will likely allow its users to stream not only HD but 4K HDR and much more with ease, all thanks to its speed.Įven though speed is a great part of 5G, 5G is not all about speed. 5G promises to deliver Gigabit speeds (>1Gbps). Statistically, the average 4G speed is about 16.9 megabits per second (Mbps), according to Open Signal. 5G will provide an even greater speed boost. Most phones of today likely support 4G and so the high speeds you enjoy are powered by 4G network on your smartphones.
