Why does it seem like 5G is rolling out so slowly – and why it is worth the wait

5G technology has been rolling out since 2019. But in large parts of the world, population coverage is still at less than 50%. Why? And why, where 5G exists, are we still getting lower-than-promised speeds?

This week’s guest is Andy Bryant. He’s Marketing leader for HPE's telecommunications solutions worldwide. He’ll be explaining the tech behind the rollout, and why it’ll be so worth the wait for the full 5G experience.
