4G vs 5G 4G technology has become an integral part of everyday life – it paved the way for the popularity and wide-ranging use of sophisticated mobile devices, providing a lightning-fast connection wherever you may go. To put it simply, 4G is defined as the fourth generation of mobile technology which follows the 2G and 3G networks that came before it. It is also sometimes referred to as 4G LTE, but this is not technically correct as LTE is only a single type of 4G. It is currently the most advanced technology that’s adopted by the majority of mobile network service providers. However, as you may already know, 5G is growing and starting to work alongside existing 3G and 4G data networks. In telecommunications, 5G is the fifth generation technology standard for cellular networks, which cellular phone companies began deploying worldwide in 2019, the planned successor to the 4G networks which provide connectivity to most current cellphones. The Negatives and Positives of 5G 5G is a great opportunity for developers to deploy applications that take advantage of fast, high-speed lower latency networks. But like any data network, it's important to know what the advantages and disadvantages are going to be of this new technology. 5G Pros include High Speeds, Less Tower Congestion, and New Tech options. 5G Cons include Broadcast Distance, Battery Drainage, and Lack of Widespread Coverage
