It’s much easier to upgrade wireless infrastructure. 5G networks are primarily billed as offering wireless users “ultra-low latency,” with the potential of 1 ms and a more realistic 20 ms expected. This represents 20–40 ms in savings versus today’s 4G networks. However, this only helps the last few hundred meters of data transmission. Once a wireless user’s data hits the tower, it moves to fixed-line backbones.
