4G LTE is already providing millions of customers with super fast data, but with more and more carriers looking to flip the switch on even nippier 1 Gbps networks and phones boasting faster modems, it’s tough not to wonder if we’re closing in on next-generation 5G networks soon. Unfortunately, we’re all used to hearing that there are still some technical hurdles to overcome and plenty of infrastructure investments left to be made until consumers start receiving their first 5G signals, but the date is closing in .
If you’ve been wondering at what stage all of this new technology is at and just how far away we still are from 5G, 5G Americas, an industry trade association and voice of 5G and LTE for the Americas, has recently published a paper looking specifically at how the industry is steadily advancing. You can read the full white paper here, but we’ve dug through some of the more pertinent parts so you don’t have to, and tucked in some extra insights of our own too.
