The U.S. government has given the military permission to offer a big part of its airwaves to private companies to expand the country’s 5G wireless network system. Technology experts see the decision as an effort to keep up with other countries, notably China, in the race to deploy nationwide 5G. 5G is the next generation of high-speed wireless technology for the world. Experts say the system is expected to bring much higher internet speeds and reduce latency, or delays, in wireless processing operations. Currently, 5G service remains limited in the United States. And most wireless devices now in use do not work with 5G. U.S. sales of 5G smartphones made up less than 1 percent of all devices in 2019, a report by market research company NPD estimated. However, major U.S. wireless carriers are working to deploy the technology to as much of America as possible.
