Connectivity interruption

According to experts, the range of 5G connectivity is not very far. Frequency waves are capable of traveling only a short distance. The fact is that 5G frequencies can be disrupted by obstacles such as trees, towers, walls and buildings. The only way to avoid this is to increase the number of 5G towers, which can solve this problem. However, this solution costs a lot.

Big investment required on rollout

It costs a lot to develop 5G infrastructure or upgrade existing cellular infrastructure. This amount is further compounded by the cost of maintenance of equipment required for high-speed connectivity. It is likely that companies will recover this increased cost from the customers. However, 5G companies can reduce their costs by tying up with each other and using each other’s 5G towers.

Limitation of Reach in Villages

As we have mentioned that the web length of 5G internet is very less, in such a situation, due to the dense population in the cities, a 5G tower can cover a lot of people. But in villages the situation is just the opposite. It will not be easy for companies to install more towers in villages to cover the entire population. In such a situation, a very small population in the villages will get the benefit of this 5G service.
