Ama-opharetha aseSlovak naseCzech kuphela manje ashintshela kumanethiwekhi e-4G, kodwa amanethiwekhi okuqala e-5G aseyahlolwa kakade eJapane. I-opharetha enkulu yase-Japan i-NTT DoCoMo imemezele ukuthi izoqala ukuhlola amanethiwekhi eselula e-5G, kodwa lawa manethiwekhi ekuqaleni azotholakala kuphela kumadivayisi akhethiwe nangezinjongo zokuhlola kuphela. Umsebenzisi ukhethe i-Samsung ne-Nokia njengabalingani bayo abakhulu, okufanele bakhiqize amadivaysi okuqala athuthukiswe ngokusekelwa kwenethiwekhi ye-5G.
Amanethiwekhi ahloliwe kufanele akwazi ukudlulisa idatha ngesivinini esingafika ku-10 Gbps ngefrikhwensi engaphezu kuka-6 GHz, kuyilapho isivinini esikhulu samanethiwekhi e-5G sifika izikhathi ezingu-1000 kunesivinini esikhulu samanethiwekhi e-4G LTE. Iyakwazi ukufeza isivinini esishiwo, kodwa ngaphansi kwezimo zaselabhorethri, futhi isivinini sangempela kufanele sivezwe ngokuhlolwa, okuzokwenzeka eJapane eminyakeni embalwa ezayo. Izoqale ihlolwe esikhungweni se-R&D e-Yokosuka, ngokuhlolwa kwasemadolobheni okuzoqala ngonyaka ozayo. AbakwaSamsung bangeze esimemezelweni sokuthi amanethiwekhi e-5G ngeke alungele umphakathi kuze kube ngu-2020, ngakho-ke sisenesikhathi esanele sokujabulela amanethiwekhi e-4G. Kodwa-ke, abakhiqizi bezinye ihadiwe, ikakhulukazi i-Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Fujitsu kanye ne-NEC, bazobamba iqhaza ekuhlolweni.
