What is 5G?
How fast is 5G?
Is 5G just a faster 4G?
It’s low latency, can connect up to 1 million devices per square kilometre (that’s a lot of devices in one small space), and ultra reliable, making it perfect for masses of sensors, remote surgeries, self-driving cars, virtual reality, and even home broadband, to name just a few.
