What about latency for 4G&5G?
The typical latency on a 4G network is around 30-50 milliseconds.
Latency on 5G can be as low as 1 millisecond under specific conditions, which is key for the seamless operation of self-driving cars, telesurgery systems, and critical industrial applications.
What about capacity and connectivity?
4G infrastructure supports fewer simultaneous connections than 5G. 5G increases the number of devices that can be connected simultaneously, making it ideal for densely populated areas and IoT. 5G also supports over 500 times the connection density compared to 4G in a given area without congesting the mobile network.

What about device design and chip sets?
4G wireless routers use 4G modem chipsets, while 5G routers use 5G modem chipsets. 5G chipsets are more complex, as they support a broader range of frequencies and technologies.
