DISADVANTAGES OF 5G (AutoRecovered)

1. Obstructions like trees, buildings, and towers can block or weaken 5G signals over short distances, limiting connectivity only to areas near cell towers. To address this, telecom companies are expanding existing cell towers. 2. 5G access may be limited for rural areas, as carriers will initially focus on large cities. It will take time to expand coverage to more remote locations. 3. The initial costs of building 5G infrastructure and maintaining high-speed connectivity will be high. Cellular operators aim to share networks and minimize costs, but customers may end up bearing the high price tags.

DISADVANTAGES OF 5G

1. OBSTRUCTIONS CAN IMPACT CONNECTIVITY


The range of 5G connectivity is not great as the frequency waves are only able to travel a
short distance. Added to this setback is the fact that 5G frequency is interrupted by physical
obstructions such as trees, towers, walls and buildings. The obtrusions will either block,
disrupt or absorb the high-frequency signals. To counter this setback, the telecom industry
is extending existing cell towers to increase the broadcast distance.

2. INITIAL COSTS FOR ROLLOUT ARE HIGH


The costs related to the development of 5G infrastructure or adaptations to existing cellular
infrastructure will be high. This amount will be further compounded by the ongoing
maintenance costs needed to ensure the high-speed connectivity, and it’s likely the
customers will bare the brunt of these big price tags. Cellular operators are looking to
minimise these costs by exploring alternative options in the form of network sharing.

3. LIMITATIONS OF RURAL ACCESS


While 5G might bring about real connectivity for the predominantly urban areas, those living
in the rural settings will not necessarily benefit from the connection. As it stands, many
remote areas countrywide are not able to access any form of cellular connectivity. The 5G
carriers are going to target big cities with larger populations, eventually working their way
into the outer areas, but it’s not likely this will be happening any time soon. As a result, only
some of the population will benefit from 5G communication.

4. BATTERY DRAIN ON DEVICES


When it comes to cellular devices connected to 5G, it seems the batteries are not able to
operate for a significant period of time. The battery technology needs to advance to allow
for this enhanced connectivity, where a single charge will power a cellphone for a full day.
Alongside depleted batteries, users are reporting that cellphones are getting increasingly
hot when operating on 5G.

5. UPLOAD SPEEDS DON’T MATCH DOWNLOAD SPEEDS


The download speeds of 5G technology are incredibly high, in some cases up to 1.9Gbps.
However, the upload speeds are rarely more than 100Mbps, which is not quite as incredible
as initially touted. In relation to existing mobile connectivity, however, the upload speeds
are higher than being seen with 4G LTE.

1. OBSTRUCTIONS CAN IMPACT CONNECTIVITY


If the frequency waves can only travel over short distances, it is limited
only to certain areas near the main line and for people that far away
cannot be accessed or it will take up buffers. To counter this recession,
the telecom industry is expanding existing cell towers to increase
broadcast distance.

2. LIMITATIONS OF RURAL ACCESS


Currently, many distant areas in our country do not have access to any
form of cellular connectivity. 5G carriers will target large cities with
larger populations, eventually working in outdoor areas, but this is
unlikely to happen any time soon. As a result, only a handful of the
population will benefit from 5G communication.

3. INITIAL COSTS FOR ROLLOUT ARE HIGH


The costs associated with building 5G infrastructure or adaptations to existing
cellular infrastructure will be high. This amount will be further compounded by
the ongoing maintenance costs required to ensure high -speed connectivity, and
customers are likely to carry the weight of these large price tags. Cellular
operators are looking to reduce these costs by exploring alternative options in
the form of network sharing.

When it comes to cellular devices connected to 5G, it seems the batteries may
not work for a significant period of time. Battery technology needs to evolve in
our country to allow for this enhanced connection, where a single charge will
power the cellphone for an entire day. Along with depleted batteries, users
report that cellphones get hotter when running on 5G.
