The biggest difference between 4G and 5G is latency. 5G promises low latency under 5 milliseconds, while 4G latency ranges from 60 ms to 98 ms. In addition, with lower latency comes advancements in other areas, such as faster download speeds.
5G uses millimeter waves that have limited ability to penetrate obstacles, such as buildings, trees and even inclement weather like rain or snow.
5G can be affected by the same RF interference as 4G because it may operate in the same frequency bands as 4G.
The companies are working on them, but they still have the following issues: The customers change their demands frequently so IoT has to fulfill them. The new devices grow gradually, so time is needed. Inventing new things and integrating the previous ones with the new ones demands effort and money.
T-Mobile 5G mobile coverage (including Sprint)When it comes to 5G coverage maps, T-Mobile's (which is now also Sprint's) is the most impressive, with coverage in all 50 states. Not only that, but all states except Alaska have 5G coverage in multiple cities.
In general, the 5G Ultra Wideband network's signal can reach up to 1,500 feet without obstructions. Verizon is leveraging small cell technology to help deliver more 5G signal which directly increases the coverage and speed of the network.
Seasoned developers will know that the most preferred programming languages for IoT projects are C and C++. Thanks to their memory management and runtime capabilities, they are critically deployed across the world.
Though the high frequencies of 5G require a direct line-of-sight, “fixed wireless” will allow for cellular coverage within buildings and homes, without the use of cables or lines. Fixed wireless antennas are placed on top of homes and buildings to communicate with nearby small cells or macrocell towers.
The term 'Internet of Things' was coined in 1999 by the computer scientist Kevin Ashton. While working at Procter & Gamble, Ashton proposed putting radio-frequency identification (RFID) chips on products to track them through a supply chain.
Equally as important to note is that not only does 5G need fiber, but it needs huge fiber counts with incredible density and ability to access that through splice points that are near enough to where it is needed so you can break out.
