Mobile wireless services function by receiving and transmitting information between devices over radio waves through a network of antennae and similar equipment. Each collection of communications equipment operating over a given area is commonly known as a “cell.” In legacy networks (for example, 3G and 4G), telecommunications providers generally use macro cell sites to provide coverage over wide areas.

The newest generation of cellular wireless technology is known as “5G,” for fifth generation. It is seen as transformational because it provides increased bandwidth, allows more devices to be connected at the same time, and is so fast that connected devices receive near instantaneous responses from servers.
