The Deployment Challenges of 5G Technologies
14:10 - 20:43 (06:32)
The deployment of 5G technologies, particularly the millimeter wave, requires building denser networks that require permits and fiber building which takes more time to densify. While 5G has been designed to work in various spectrums including the sub-6, more networks are needed to deploy the millimeter wave technology.

Summary
5G technology can work across every spectrum from low frequency to millimeter wave, but deploying 5G in the new spectrum sub-6 is the easiest and fastest option. However, millimeter wave deployment requires building more dense networks, which takes more time and resources.

Summary
In the race to fully implement 5G across the country, there are concerns about the safety of this technology on human health. However, the CEO of Qualcomm explains that as we build new capabilities like 5G, power is going down, so the power required for mobile devices to function is actually minimal.
