At its fullest potential, 5G is capable of delivering speeds up to 20 Gigabits-per-second (Gbps). Imagine completing a download of a full Netflix series in just seconds! While that kind of speed is only possible at peak data rates, the average 5G data rates hover around 100+ Megabits-per-second (Mbps).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>5G In Our Smartphones<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This mind-blowing speed coupled with ultra-low latency opens up a whole world of new possibilities.
