It's hard to deliver both higher speed and longer range, because higher frequencies don't reach as far and don't penetrate walls as well.

- k__ 6y agoBut what I read about 5G is that its range is comparable to wifi. Why do they do that?
- exciteabletom 6y agoAFAIK, the speed is >gigabit fast, but to achieve that speed you need to have super high frequencies and hence smaller range. To me, it seems inconvenient as a replacement for 4G. However it is also being used for other applications; like self-driving cars[1].
