Compared with 4G, 5G offers a new network architecture to significantly boost overall performance. 5G Networks will provide an enhanced broadband experience with speeds deliver over 10Gbps, data rate and latency of less than 4 milliseconds, and ultra-high-dense connections. With its remarkable features, 5G is anticipated to significantly improve data speed and capacity for conventional mobile and fixed wireless broadband networks, as well as provide opportunities for new emerging markets.
