5th generation wireless

Targeted to millimeter wave bands (26, 28, 38, 60GHz)

  26GHz --> c/f = 3.0e8/26e9 = 11.5mm
  60GHz --> c/f = 3.0e8/60e9 =  5.0mm

Estimated median data bandwith is 3.5 Gb/s with peak 20 Gb/s

When operating in the 3.5GHz-4.2GHz band, the speeds drop to
about 490 Mb/s

The big technology drivers are the millimeter waves which go
hand in hand with MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) antennas

Background - 4G is approximately 100Mb/s peak rates. Frequency bands
  are typically 700MHz to 2.5GHz
    700MHz --> c/f = 3.0e8/700e6 = 0.428m = 42.8cm = 1.5 ft
    2.5GHz --> c/f = 3.0e8/2.5e9 = 0.120m = 12.0cm = 6 inches

    1 ft --> c/L = 3.0e8/(0.3048) = 984MHz (1GHz ~ 1ft)
