The report also suggests that “data rates up to 1Gbps should be supported in some specific environments, like indoor offices, while at least 50Mbps shall be available everywhere.” How fast is 5G in 2022?Īlthough 5G service is now widely available with a 5G phone, it’s not the superfast replacement to 4G that many were hoping for - yet. “Although 5G will be able to deliver higher speeds, the main difference end users will notice will be the extra-low latency on 5G compared to 3G or 4G - this will open up new applications in the Internet of Things space.”Īccording to a white paper from the Next Generation Mobile Networks Alliance, which helped establish standards, 5G networks should offer 10ms latency in general and 1ms for special cases that require lower latency. “The arrival of 5G will undoubtedly bring higher speeds for end users - but those speeds will vary depending on how operators design their networks and how many users are on the network,” Els Baert, director of marketing and communications at NetComm, told Digital Trends in an interview. Perhaps more important than actual download speed, at least initially, is latency. That’s why mmWave could prove important in places like stadiums, where potentially thousands of people could be connected to a network at once. The more people connected to a cell tower at once, the less bandwidth that can be dedicated to you specifically. That’s a massive increase, and it goes hand in hand with T-Mobile’s impressively large availability and reach.ĭownload speeds don’t just vary depending on your type of 5G connectivity they’ll also vary depending on how many people are connected to the network. T-Mobile is the reigning king though, with an impressive average download speed of 150Mbps. Verizon’s average is a little quicker, at 56.2Mbps. At the lowest end is AT&T with average 5G download speeds of 49.1Mbps - which isn’t much faster than your typical 4G network. That will likely change as time goes on and carriers improve the quality of the 5G networks.Īccording to a recent report from Opensignal, there’s a massive gulf between carriers at the moment. The currently available nationwide networks all depend on low-band 5G, and while there are pockets of mmWave coverage around the country, you won’t spend much time, if any, in those pockets. For more about the 5G spectrum and the different types of 5G, check out our guide. The opposite is true for the high-band mmWave spectrum - you’ll get superfast download speeds, but radio waves can’t travel far or make their way through obstacles. The low-band spectrum, often referred to as Sub-6, is able to travel long distances and penetrate obstacles, but it delivers slower download speeds. For the uninitiated, 5G is made up of a few different frequency bands. Of course, download speeds vary a lot depending on the type of 5G you’re connected to. Still, those speeds are not available anywhere right now and are mostly dependent on the modem inside your device. The latest flavors of 4G LTE-A can theoretically go as high as 1Gbps, which ranges into 5G territory. Then there’s the issue of carriers mislabeling their networks many labeled HSPA+, which is a 3G technology, as 4G. The averages here are approximate, and all the different technologies complicate the results because each generation has evolved and continued to grow, even after the next generation began to roll out. ![]() ![]() The proposed antenna structure has a high gain, good matching of input impedance and an aperture angle of 57 ° which is more directive compared to the rectangular antenna element. The whole dimensions of the final circuit are 3.28x4.23mm 2. This antenna is mounted on two substrates the first one is the foam, and the second is Roger’s substrate suitable for 5G mobile applications. The suggested antenna has good matching input impedance around 28 GHz, a bandwidth of 2.2 GHz, and an enhancement of gain in comparison with standard patch antenna. * Corresponding author: work presents and describes the design of a novel multilayer antenna structure based on metasurfaces for 5G mobile applications.
