12. Why 5G Is So Much Faster Than 4G

According to the essay, what is a primary trade-off of using high-frequency millimeter waves in 5G?
1. They are more expensive to produce.
2. They have a shorter range and difficulty penetrating walls.
3. They are incompatible with most modern smartphones.
4. They increase the latency of the network.
The technology known as "massive MIMO" primarily helps 5G networks by:
1. using higher frequency radio waves to carry more data.
2. allowing many antennas to handle multiple signals simultaneously.
3. connecting everyday home appliances to the internet.
4. reducing the physical size of the required cell towers.
The essay states that 5G's extremely low latency is particularly important for:
1. downloading large movie files.
2. sending and receiving text messages.
3. real-time applications like online gaming and remote surgery.
4. providing service in remote, rural areas.
How is 5G's design specifically beneficial for the "Internet of Things" (IoT)?
1. It uses lower frequencies that can travel through objects more easily.
2. It is designed to connect a wide variety of smart devices, not just phones.
3. It is the first generation of network technology to support internet access.
4. It makes devices like home appliances less expensive to manufacture.
Which of the following is NOT listed in the essay as a reason for 5G's faster speed compared to 4G?
1. The use of higher frequency radio waves.
2. A smarter design for handling many devices.
3. The use of more powerful batteries in smartphones.
4. A technology that uses many antennas (massive MIMO).
