WTAE
ECE’s Swarun Kumar discusses why 5G can be slower than 4G networks on WTAE. “Think of this from the operators’ point of view. They are rolling out a new network. There are going to be bugs; there are going to be issues. They’re going to have to assess how many users are on the new network rather than the old network,” he says.
