A big boost in speed and responsiveness is just the tip of the iceberg for the next-generation wireless technology.
Everything you need to at least sound like you know what you're talking about when it comes to the next-generation mobile network.

We clear up some of the confusion around 5G.


The pandemic has caused hiccups in some regions, but the super-fast wireless tech keeps rolling out.
Qualcomm President Cristiano Amon talks up mobile's role in helping combat the novel coronavirus.
The Defense Department says the FCC's approval of Ligado's petition to use satellite spectrum for 5G will destroy GPS.
XRSpace, started by the co-founder of HTC, is introducing a virtual world it hopes will be the escape we all crave.
5G is the next generation of wireless networks and promises a mobile experience that's 10x to 100x faster than today's 4G networks.
We say the word promise because we're in the early days of 5G. When more smartphones and networks support 5G tech, it will have far-reaching consequences for consumers, from the cars we drive (or that drive us) to the food we eat to the safety of our roads to the ways we shop to the entertainment we share with family and friends. And that doesn't include things we haven't yet imagined because we've never had the capability to unlock those new scenarios.
Today, 5G may seem confusing even as it's widely hyped. We're here to help you sort fact from fiction, weed through the acronyms and jargon, and figure out when and how 5G can change the way you live. And we'll keep you from getting caught up in hyperbole -- and empty promises.
