Is there a long range and a short range version of 5G ? I was under the impression it was higher freq and less ranger, meant for dense cities.
I live about 10 minutes from a small city and still don't get 3G signal, hardly enough to hold a phone conversation. Is 5G really competing for rural users like me?
- MrRadar 4y ago5G can be deployed on the same spectrum as LTE, including the low frequency bands that support long range. For those deployments you do get faster speeds compared to LTE but not significantly (I've read it's about 25% faster for the same spectrum). All 3 major cellular providers in the US have 5G deployed on their low-band spectrum (T-Mobile on band 71 (600 MHz) and AT&T and Verizon on band 5 (800 MHz)).
- Reason077 4y ago> "(I've read it's about 25% faster for the same spectrum)" I get 200-400 Mbps on 5G, on a UK network with 40 Mhz of TDD 3.6 Ghz 5G spectrum. On 4G LTE I rarely see more than 50 Mbps or so (Typically 20+20 Mhz FDD LTE at 2.1 or 2.6 Ghz).
