Designed to greatly bolster the speed and responsiveness of wireless networks, the fifth iteration of cellular technology “5G” is a massive upgrade. Notably, 5G can exceed wireless network speed and deliver latency of 1 millisecond (ms) or lower which makes it a boon for sharing large files, downloading and uploading content, and playing online games. Whether you have already jumped on the fast-paced 5G train or are willing to get on board, you should know the complete list of cities which have 5G network in the world, considering it’s not yet rolled out everywhere.
List of Cities Where 5G Network is Available (July 2020)
As per reports, commercial 5G networks have been set up in 378 cities across 34 countries. Unsurprisingly, the UK, US, and China are on the fast track to equip their major cities with the 5G network.
While some cities are fully onboard with 5G, others have seen only the partial rollout. Besides, a number of cities are getting ready to be on the 5G network. As is usually the case, the major carrier providers are leading the race to deliver commercial 5G networks.
