IoT devices (Sensors) will send small amounts of data via 5G networks. In this case they do not need a high datarate but would rather to send and receive signals quicker. Another use case of low latency is online gaming. ... This can significantly reduce signal power levels and thus impacts network coverage.

Does 5G have latency?

4G networks started with latencies of about 100ms and now are down to a range of about 30ms to 70ms, said Linder. That's getting closer to the theoretical 4G latency of just 10ms. With 5G networks, "We have seen networks creeping into single digits," with good networks somewhere between 5ms and 20ms, Linder said.

Does 5G have lower latency than WIFI?

5G networks will provide 50x more speed, 10x less latency, and 1,000x more capacity than 4G/LTE. This means 5G will be able to connect more devices and transmit more data than ever before, delivering fast connectivity and significantly enhanced user experiences.
