In the United States, there are already some networks being developed in select cities. Currently, Verizon is offering MM wave 5G at certain locations in select cities, including Atlanta; Boise, Idaho; Boston; Chicago; Dallas; Detroit; Houston; New York; Providence, R.I.; and Washington, D.C. As time passes, Verizon will add more cities to its 5G network, such as San Diego and Kansas City, Mo. T-Mobile's 5G network includes locations within Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New York.
A phone or another piece of hardware can't just get a software update on a 4G phone to enable 5G. 5G requires specific hardware. To be able to utilize 5G, a user must have a device that supports 5G, a carrier that supports 5G and be within an area that has a 5G node within range.
Some examples of 5G enabled phones include the following:
Samsung Galaxy S10 5G
Samsung Galaxy Note10+ 5G
Samsung Galaxy A90 5G
OnePlus 7 Pro 5G
Moto z3
Xiaomi Mi MIX 3 5G
Huawei Mate X
Huawei Mate 30 Pro 5G
5G fixed wireless broadband services deliver internet access to homes and businesses without a wired connection to the premises. To do that, network operators deploy NRs in small cell sites near buildings to beam a signal to a receiver on a rooftop or a windowsill that is amplified within the premises
