Definitely. This is mainly because 5G will use higher frequencies, which don’t travel as FAR and don’t travel as well through obstacles, such as buildings so prevalent in concrete JUNGLES (cities). This means MOBILE Network Operators must install 5G radios, and a lot of them, closer to end users. Small cells won’t be required day one, as they can be installed over TIME. But there’s no getting around the fact that rolling out 5G to large geographic areas will require a TREMENDOUS number of new small cells.
