It's going to be even worse with 5g. 5g is just a spec and the current most likely way to meet that spec is with micro-cells operating at higher frequencies.
They will require line of site because higher frequencies can't penetrate obstacles. To get 5g speeds and capacities, you're going to need to put towers everywhere.
Smaller towers yes, but many many more of them.
- jburgess777 9y agoThis matches what has been said about the planned rollout of 5G in the UK: more use of higher frequency bands and cells sites possibly sited at every road junction (intersection). The impact of land topology is seen as so important that the UK Ordnance Survey have got involved with simulating 5G coverage: http://os.uk/5g http://os.uk/5g https://5g.co.uk/ https://5g.co.uk/
