Members of Colorado Springs City Council received an update Monday afternoon on plans to launch the first 5G wireless network in the city.
Fifth generation wireless networks can reportedly download a minimum of 40 to 60 times more data per second than the current 4G LTE networks and they can handle 10 times the number of connected devices.
The city’s first small cell 5G network and smart street lights are expected come online by the end of 2019.
