What Is 5G? How the Mobile Network Works
A simple explanation of 5G mobile networks, speed, latency and why performance varies by location.
What 5G means
5G is a generation of mobile network technology designed to support higher capacity, faster data rates and lower latency than earlier generations.
Speed is not the same everywhere
Real-world performance depends on the network band, signal strength, congestion, device, plan and local infrastructure. A phone showing a 5G icon does not guarantee a particular speed.
Where 5G is useful
5G can improve mobile broadband and support applications that benefit from responsive connections. Coverage and available features depend on the carrier and location.
