ARE YOUR RENTAL PROPERTIES 5G READY?
Cell phone manufacturers and carriers are all rushing to promote their 5G phones. In fact, it is hard to find a new phone that doesn’t boast support for 5G. This will inevitably result in most apartment tenants owning 5G-capable phones and devices over the next few years, if they don’t already. Are you ready?
Why 5G?
THE 5G HYPE The hype around 5G is significant and perhaps greater than what we ever experienced with 4G/LTE. For instance, we are told 5G provides an infrastructure that is going to change everyday life. More robust bandwidth and date speeds are critical for the massive number of devices that will be wirelessly connected for Internet of Things data sharing.

Nevertheless, the roll-out by wireless carriers across the country is aggressive. Regular updates of the roll-out to date can be found in the report: Where Is 5G Available in the US?
