5G Wireless Technology
– What People Are Saying

WHEN WILL THE US HAVE 5G TECHNOLOGY?
By Audrey Conklin, FOX Business

While there is some argument as to whether the U.S. has fully adopted 5G wireless networks, most experts say it’s here and ready to develop as the country’s new wireless standard.

5G, or fifth-generation, technology has been in the works for nearly a decade, and limited service in select cities began rolling out as early as 2018, though the U.S. still has a long way to go to reach the full potential of 5G.

5G VS. WI-FI: HOW THEY’RE DIFFERENT, AND WHY YOU’LL NEED BOTH
By Simon Hill, Digital Trends

The advent of 5G mobile networking technology is slated to bring with it a revolution in how we access the internet. 5G promises to increase download speeds, eliminate latencies, and reduce congestion on mobile networks — in other words, it’ll give Wi-Fi a run for its money.

In the near future, Wi-Fi and 5G will be pitted against each other. However, all signs point to us likely needing both networks to fully take advantage of the internet of tomorrow.
