Could you explain what makes this tech better than Wifi? Does it have better range/deal with interference better?
My impression was that the high speed profile of 5G was basically the same as that of Wifi, with exactly the same issues. Am I wrong/is it better in lower speed modes?
Here are the key differences between 5G and Wifi:
1. Dedicated vs shared spectrum. Though all big countries have shared spectrum initiatives for 5G too but it is still not a free for all like Wifi. So interference-wise 5G might be better for some use cases. Have heard about that in several shipping ports where Private 5G is deployed
2. Security. Due to the usage of SIM but Wifi security is good too
3. Range - though most of 5G is in comparable frequency ranges with Wifi, there is a huge range of powers at which 5G base stations can transmit so range is possibly larger for 5G
But it all depends on use-case and there is no clear winner for all situations.
