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.
