According to AT&T’s CTO Andre Fuetsch, “Deploying 5G is like building a home – you start with the foundation. It needs to be strong and sturdy. After all, it supports everything you are constructing on top. For example, before you can build out the playroom or open-concept kitchen, you need a strong foundation in place. It must also be built the right way. Just ask anyone who’s ever dealt with a foundation issue, it’s extremely difficult and expensive to go back and repair later.”

That being said in order to truly take advantage of 5G, users will require devices that are compatible. At the moment there aren’t many that have 5G compatible modems, just like how it was back in the day when 4G was launched, but presumably many companies already have them in the works.
