Many people argue that the benefits of 5G are more from having reduced latency and increased capacity rather than having faster download speeds.
This is because the download speeds available on 4G are already fast enough for most uses e. However, despite faster download speeds not making a huge difference here, the reduction in latency from 5G technology will help overall response time.
The reduced latency of 5G technology is particularly important for some of the newer embedded applications of mobile technology. The lower latency of a 5G connection will allow mobile technology to be used more safely in cars.
