At its theoretical maximum speed, 5G is a hundred times faster than its predecessor 4G. 5G takes advantage of a lot of technology to obtain such fast speeds. The whole new band of radio spectrum that 5G uses has a lot to do with it. The base stations that relay the technology also factor into the speed equation. These base stations also use massive MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output). Massive MIMO uses dozens of antennas on a single base station. They also take advantage of beamforming to better direct those signals, directing the wireless signal in a beam pointing at the device and reducing interference for other devices.
With the 5G SA version, the operator transitions to both 5G New Radio (NR) and 5G as the core network. In other words, the 5G SA transition version, which does not rely on LTE, allows an operator to address features beyond enhanced mobile broadband. These features include network slicing, which allows the creation of multiple virtual networks atop a shared physical infrastructure. Using network slicing, service providers can customize services for customers drawing from a pool of virtual and physical resources. 5G systems are expected to be made for logical network slicing, enabling operators to offer networks on an as-a-service basis and meet the needs of various use cases.
