5G Mobile Network

5G is the 5th and latest generation of mobile network technology, launched 2019 in the UK. It is a big improvement in terms of faster internet speeds over the previous 4G & technologies, with average data speeds of around 100Mbps to 200Mbps and a current max of up to 1Gbps (1000 Mbps), making 5G upto 100 times faster than 4G.

5G is a particularly great technology in highly-crowded and congested areas, where typically, mobile users notice a slow down in speed or degradation of signal and performance as the service is spread too thin between many connected devices in a particular area.

Only 5G compatible mobile devices (e.g. Apple iPhone 12, Google Pixel 5, Samsung Galaxy S20/S21 and other new phones) are able to take advantage of 5G services and only in locations where 5G coverage is available.
