5G is offered in 3 tires, this is due to it being available on 3 different levels of the electromagnetic spectrum. This means it will provide carriers more choices than 4G previously offered. 

5G offers a low to high experience its predecessors did not, while also opening up a ‘high-band’, short-range airwave not previously accessible with 4G. 5G’s top speeds are possible due to it utilising airwaves, or millimeter-waves, so the more airwaves available the better the speed you will achieve. 

5G’s applications are endless and the truth of the matter is, we haven’t even seen what it can achieve yet, being built for future advancements. As of now, 5G’s speed and reliability is where it shines. 

With network carriers keen to drum up interest and grow the 5G network it’s heavily marketed as a means to boost streaming services performance, you can in theory download a 4k high-quality movie in just 25 seconds using 5G or stream multiple high-quality movies at once. 

Phone Manufacturers have spoken on its ability to make ondevice storage obsolete, with fast network upload speeds it’s easier than ever to access cloud storage, but one of the biggest aspects in demand for the 5G network is high quality video conferencing or calls. 

5G’s capacity to offer several bands of service also make it the superior generation for home internet services. Offering more competition and packages for families to choose from. It will also be able to cover a much wider range, installing fibre optics to cells every couple of blocks, unlike the chaos unleashed when laying fibre optic lines for house-to-house services.

Apart from the benefits it has on devices we already use with 4G, the applications it can have on industries like automated cars, game streaming service, VR therapy that all rely on low latency will be boosted through the use of 5G. 

5G will also be able to connect to much smaller devices, more devices and be much more inexpensive. Not only does 5G offer a superior service, it is also a more cost effective service. 

It will begin to push the barriers in VR and augmented reality as it’s consistent speed and low latency will push technological advancements in this area, allowing you to connect to the virtual/augmented world anywhere. 

5G will run on a point-to-point communication that bypasses home network, meaning signal boosters will still be required to optimise your network coverage.  All networks have launched 5G including we have equipment to boost Vodafone 5G or voice calls as well as o2, EE and all the IE networks.

Signal blockage is one of the major issues being projected by experts for 5G, with new innovative building materials focused on energy-efficiencies causing signal issues such as low e-glass and insulations 5G signal boosters are going to be essential. 

Due to geographical settings paired with modern building materials 5G Signal Boosters will be in demand to ensure offices and homes get the most of this innovative network.

For most companies connectivity is key to providing an efficient workforce, and with more and more people working from home daily it is becoming more important than ever that your network provider doesn’t let you down. 

Using a Legal Signal Booster, whether you’re at home or in an office environment, will keep you connected at all times. Using this type of device means you don’t have to worry about high quality video conferencing, clear voice calling and high speed data sharing and you can focus on the work that really matters to you.

In some cases yes, you will unfortunately need a new device if you want to experience the full capabilities of the 5G network. While 5G phones are available on the market, brands like Apple are only launching their 5G phone this month.

It’s important to understand that not all 5G devices are equal in running the network, 5G is primarily created for future technologies that we haven’t even seen yet, and some android devices have reportedly worked better using low-medium bandwidth. 

But with advancements in technology rapidly increasing it won’t be long before we are able to experience the true power of 5G mobile technology. More and more carriers and phone manufacturers are moving to 5G focused devices, so it will become more mainstream.

Low band frequencies for 5G will operate below 2GHz, able to travel wide distances they are hindered by the lack of channels available to operate on, most of which are also used with 4G. This is the slowest band available with 5G and for the most part is no better than what 4G offers. 

Mid-Band Frequencies for 5G will operate between 2GHz and 10GHz, currently this is the largest frequency being operated with 5G. Working on the same frequencies and some slightly higher frequencies than most wi-fi and cell towers, it provides decent range. 

High band frequencies  for 5G or millimeter-wave frequencies is where 5G really shines. This operates airwaves in the 20GHz to 100GHz range and 5G is the first time these short range airwaves have been used in a consumer application. 

The benefits for businesses using 5G are far ranging, depending on the industry 5G will be able to offer smarter, safer and more efficient workplaces. 

The reliability and higher data speeds 5G promises will be able to enhance efficiency and improve data sharing within businesses, not to mention an increase in operational productivity and precision for companies like factories which rely on technology and can use 5G to its full capacity.

The applications for industries to utilise 5G are endless. Hotels being able to offer this level of connectivity and reliability to guests will improve the entire experience for hotel guests, with 5G being able to support several devices being connected at the same time it uses network slicing to prioritise users needs and save bandwidth, essentially creating several ‘virtual networks’.

4G or 4G LTE Signal Boosters won’t be transferable to the 5G network, as the two work in different ways, much like you can’t use 3G Signal Booster on a 4G Network. 5G is currently still being rolled out globally, and also has a weaker penetration power of 4G, therefore relying on a different closed alternative to be boosted.

5G Signal Boosters will also vary in that they will need to focus more heavily on keeping you connected, in order to enjoy the high speeds 5G promises to deliver. In short you will need to invest in a 5G Signal Booster if you are making the switch to 5G, but should you choose to stay on the 4G or 4G LTE network, support will still be in place for years to come. 

4G LTE stands for ‘Long Term Evolution’, which in short is the progression towards full 4G capability. While some companies market 4G LTE as a superior version of 4G it is in all actuality an inbetween phase of 3G and 4G, however it is constantly being updated. 

5G is in a roll out phase where its capacity is still being studied, we have yet to see fully what limitations may occur with 5G.

If you are unsure which to choose from 4G, 4G LTE or 5G it depends on your budget, business or personal needs and location at the moment. 4G LTE will continue to be supported for years to come but may eventually go the way of 2G and network providers will eventually phase it out and switch it off when 5G’s infrastructure is fully in place.

5G has been a hot topic in 2022 and not just because of it’s endless applications and advancements. 5G has found itself tied to many conspiracy theories from causing the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic to cancer. It’s safe to say 5G is not to blame, and it is safe to use.

With many conspiracy theories, they’re lacking in vital information. When we look at the cold hard facts most of what 5G does isn’t using anything new, it’s just using it in a different way.
The low and mid-band frequencies, based off of radio frequencies, like UHF TV bands which has been around since 1952. The Mid-band frequency used has been around since at least 2007 as we know it. 

Early studies have shown that the mmWaves or millimeter waves 5G uses for it’s high-band and is causing panic over is not very effective at penetrating human skin and it’s most dangerous aspect is that it may cause something to become slightly warmer. These mmWaves are in fact too weak, being blocked by walls, cars, clothing and our own skin. 

In short, the conspiracy theories surrounding 5G so far are just that, and the network is in fact safe to use, but they do provide some entertaining reading if nothing else.
