These happen often in dense urban areas, where one of the biggest issues is to find a place to put a new cell site. The providers need to deal with regulatory and permitting issues. This raises some difficulties for the deployment of 5G, but there is more. The mmWave struggles to become a standard However, it is much cheaper and easier to deploy because it does not have to be built out from scratch. The non-standalone 5G is not expected to perform as well as the standalone option. In these cases, the 5G network is built on top of the existing 4G network’s core. The analyst further points out that most network operators began their 5G rollouts with non-standalone 5G networks. And then as more and more users come on, that capacity gets used up, and you need to look at densification”. He continues: “So with initial deployments of 4G, there was a lot of capacity to soak up those early users. More people are jumping on the 5G bandwagon causing congestionĪs per Mark Giles, an analyst from Ookla, “You look to 4G and we had the same”. This is ideal but also brings some issues for a network that is still not fully established. However, in the past two years, we have been seeing the rise of mid-range and even low-end smartphones tapping into the new network. If we go back to 2019/2020, it was mostly exclusive to premium smartphones. Two years ago, we barely had smartphones with 5G. There are growing pains as more customers enter the 5G segment. The 5G was not a scam, but it’s facing the same issues as every cellular generation. The problem is not with the technology itself. That is miles below the International Telecommunication Union’s ideal download speed of 20 Gb/s.
As per the speed-test data from Ookla, even the most robust 5G networks are barely breaking through the 1 gigabit per second barrier. If we compare the 5G service from a year ago, the networks’ upload and download times have generally declined around the world. It serves as a great replacement for the past, but when we look at the promised “revolution”, we are starting to get disappointed. When we look back to the 4G era, the new 5G standard is doing pretty well. 5G Network are miles behind the targetted download speeds
