ABSTRACT: The development and deployment of 5G technology is changing the way wireless carriers and internet service providers think about meeting the ever increasing demands for higher data rates and more capacity from their customers. The rollout of 5G is being implemented in different ways and there is still a lot unknown about how homeowners, businesses and mobile customers will use emerging 5G networks and devices. Some providers see 5G as a push for increased bandwidth to mobile devices with currently used spectrum, below 6 GHz, while others see 5G as a fixed wireless access replacing legacy wired infrastructure operating in the millimeter wave range of the spectrum, above 28 GHz. Regardless of the approach and deployment the goal of 5G is to provide wireless data rates in excess of 1 Gbps and potentially over 20 Gbps.
