Compared to 4G, 5G offers significantly faster data transfer speed—up to 10 Gbit/s in tests—and lower latency, with response times of just a few milliseconds.
While earlier generations of cellular technology (such as 4G LTE) focused on ensuring connectivity, 5G takes connectivity to the next level by delivering connected experiences from the cloud to clients. 5G networks are virtualized and software-driven, and they exploit cloud technologies.
