5G Generally Offers 10X Improvement over 4G

It remains unclear how soon 5G network features will result in some change of consumer behavior, use case change, value drivers or revenue models. But the potential is there, as 5G promises an order of magnitude--or greater--change in key performance metrics.

4G LTE peaks out at gigabit data rates. By design, 5G peaks at 20 Gbps. Where 4G latency ideally is about 10 milliseconds, 5G will ideally be about one millisecond. The 4G standard uses channels up to 100 MHz of bandwidth; 5G authorizes 1,000-MHz channels.

In real-world use, 5G should still offer about a 10-times improvement over 4G.
