Benefits of a strong 5G network
Advantages for all
Whether via better service, a sense of security, or economic opportunity—robust networks improve quality of life by connecting our communities.
Mobile connectivity
A stronger network means more freedom and opportunity for all. When it comes to better coverage and faster speeds, everyone wins. Among other things, better connectivity means:
5G for all
At broadband-like speeds, 5G networks have the power to connect millions of people and billions of devices across America, unlocking unlimited possibilities with IoT.
Smart communities
As of 2017, more than 8.3 billion connected devices are in the IoT. That may seem like a lot, but in 2025, it’s projected to be more like 84 billion. 5G is what allows entire cities to be smart in every regard.
Smart communities connect:

Connecting underserved communities
Communities without easy access to the internet are considered underserved and may lack opportunities because they aren’t as well-connected as others.
A strong network, on the other hand, creates opportunities like telecommuting for work and access to e-learning, which allows community members to acquire new skill sets and certifications.
Ultimately, a strong network can increase employability, earning power, and attract higher paying jobs to areas that aren’t as well-connected, like remote rural communities.
