THE PROMISE OF 5G
For now, most providers are rolling out 5G on sub-6 frequencies (800Mhz to 3-5Ghz), as opposed to
the highly potential mmWave frequencies (24Ghz to 100Ghz).
5G at the mmWave wavelength promises download speeds over 1Gbps, which is at least 10x faster
than the typical 4G-LTE speeds of 100-200Mbps and even faster than many fixed broadband services.
This translates to significantly lower latency and theoretically, the latency of 5G could reach an im-
perceptible 1ms delay compared to the 20-50ms delay typical of 3G and 4G networks. At such a low
latency, critical applications that are extremely latency-sensitive, such as autonomous driving,
drones, cloud gaming, and robo-surgeries, become highly plausible.
At the opposite end of the wave spectrum, the sub-6 frequencies typically trade speed for reliability.
At these frequency ranges, 5G offers less dramatic speed improvements over 4G at similar levels of
reliability.
With such a wide operable spectrum, 5G promises something for every app and organization.
5G mmWave
4G-LTE 5G Sub-6
At millimeter wavelength, 5G signals display physical properties similar to light. This means 5G
operating at mmWave loses signal strength when passing through the air, water vapor, and
less dense objects. It partially bounces off transparent objects such as glass, and it is unable to
penetrate solid objects such as wood, metal, and concrete. The maximum range of mmWave at
24GHz is around 1km in the open and is much lower when there are objects in the way.
Although technologies such as MIMO and multiple antennas help to boost signal reception,
signal strength in indoor and urban areas could still become very unpredictable. At the same
time, outdoor base stations and indoor small cells need to be densely deployed. This means
infrastructure deployments will be costly, time-consuming, and laden with potential legal liabili-
ties over public health concerns.
With our patented SpeedFusion technology, Peplink goes a step further than the above feature sets.
SpeedFusion allows users to combine any number of connections together to form a point-to-point
link to achieve what others cannot:

5G WIRELESS SD-WAN WITH PEPLINK | PEPWAVE
In the coming years, 5G will enable connectivity to billions of devices outside the reach of any
fixed-line infrastructure. Furthermore, enterprises will increasingly move to a fixed + mobile network
architecture to take advantage of the extreme bandwidth of 5G. Thus, wireless SD-WANs will become
the key technology to power branch networks.
Since its founding in 2006, Peplink has long focused on wireless SD-WAN technologies. Now, we are
ready to propel customers into the 5G-era with a range of brand new flagships featuring an innova-
tive modular platform architecture for different use cases:
Reliable connections are not necessarily consistent connections. Although a connection may stay up,
it can still suffer from significant packet loss. This results in jitters during VoIP and video streaming
sessions, which can cause disruptions to important communications with sound loss and distorted
video. Peplink has developed technologies to combat the effects of packet loss: WAN Smoothing and
Forward Error Correction.
