This is my probably incomplete understanding until someone who knows better fills in the picture :) Due to shorter wavelength, 5G will have worse coverage in terms of distance from the station. So in rural areas you will not see improvements unless density of stations is increased. However you can fit a lot more in terms of nodes and bandwidth compared to 4G, so in congested areas like cities you may perceive better "coverage" as a result. > 5G compared to 4G since the former needs more sparsely distributed nodes ...It’s the opposite, no? But yes, my understanding is that area coverage would not improve simply by upgrading/switching out existing stations. You would need a larger number of stations/energy to cover the same area with 5G vs 4G.
