    4G and 5G respectively refers to fourth generation wireless communication for broadband mobile, able to exchange data at 100 Mbit/sec at least and better coverage (including in rural areas) and 5G, the fifth generation is based on the IEEE 802.11ac standard of broadband technology. 5G is expected to be a significant breakthrough as it is expected amongst others, to offer “one to 10 Gbps connections to end points” and offer almost 99.999 percent availability and 100 percent coverage.
