more easily understand the type of data being requested, so
they will be able to switch into a lower power mode when not in
use or when supplying low rates to specic devices. Then, they
will switch to a higher-powered mode for things like HD video
streaming.
The standards of 5G rely on high frequency band usage. This
enables more concentrated, faster data relaying, but has certain
limitations and penetration challenges that will a󰀨ect “early 5G”
deployment. These high frequencies are easily absorbed by
humidity, rain, and other objects, meaning that they don’t travel
as far. Initially, 5G coverage will be limited to outdoor, pedes-
trian-centric areas where frequencies can easily reach users.
There will be an increased number of new towers in a variety of
locations such as rooftops, small cell backhaul locations, and
light poles.
When we transitioned from 3G to 4G, it wasn’t much of a di󰀨er-
ence. Everything was pretty much the same. We still experience
lags when video calling or streaming, and text messages still
take some time to go through. The transition from 4G to 5G
will be very signicant. You will see plenty of changes in your
everyday life.
I’M READY FOR A CHANGE.

The standards of 5G rely on high frequency band usage. This
enables more concentrated, faster data relaying, but has certain
limitations and penetration challenges that will a󰀨ect “early 5G”
deployment. These high frequencies are easily absorbed by

trian-centric areas where frequencies can easily reach users.
There will be an increased number of new towers in a variety of
locations such as rooftops, small cell backhaul locations, and
light poles.
In order to make 5G possible, many more towers and data cen-
ters will be built to support the higher frequencies, faster speeds,
and lower latency. New technologies such as small cells, beam-
forming, and full duplex to name a few, will be implemented.
Small cells are basically miniature cell phone towers that can
be placed in inconspicuous places like light poles and the roofs
of buildings. Small cells transmit data using millimeter waves,
which get their name from their narrower than average wave-
length. They occupy frequencies in the 30-300GHz range, which
high enough to avoid interference from surrounding signals, but
too high to pass through physical barriers.
WHAT WILL IT TAKE?
Downloading videos and movies will be faster than before. Video
calling will be clear and smooth, without the pauses currently
experienced. More sensors will be implemented in cities to mon-
itor and regulate tra󰀩c, trash collection, pollution, parking, noise,
water pressure, and electricity.
