How is 5G different from 4G?

by

The next step in wireless connectivity is not really a step at all—it’s a leap. 5G Ultra Wideband will fundamentally change the ways we live, work, learn and play, and on a grand scale.

But a 5G-powered world won’t materialize out of thin air. It will be built off of existing networks and existing knowhow.

At Verizon, that process begins with America’s largest and most reliable 4G LTE network.
