5g pitch

As telecommunications companies battle to be the first to launch 5g pitch , their marketing is ramping up with promises of gigabit-per-second speeds and sub-10-millisecond latency. Some of the claims have landed in hot water, though. In the UK, for instance, carrier EE argued that a rival advert claiming ‘If it’s not 3G, it’s not 5G’ was misleading and breached advertising rules.

While the latest technology can help to improve a sports surface, not all artificial pitches that claim to be 4G or 5G have this technology installed. This is purely marketing bluster from suppliers who want to differentiate their product. In reality, any pitch that is accredited as a ‘4G’ or ‘5G’ surface has simply been upgraded from a 2G to 3G artificial football pitch.

This means that the surface has a longer pile height (length of the artificial grass fibres) and is fitted with a sand infill as well as rubber or organic crumb. These materials make the surface kinder on the knees and feet, as well as being extremely durable and long-lasting.

But even if the networks are ready, you still have to upgrade your smartphone to use it, and you may face long wait times before you can find a place that actually has the network up and running. Verizon’s network, for example, is currently only available in parts of the Chicago area. And the mmWave technology that is supposed to power 5G isn’t expected to become widespread anytime soon.
