AT&T previously announced 5G coverage of Dallas, Atlanta, and Waco. Here are the three cities that can expect to see their coverage changed soon:

1. Charlotte, North Carolina

2. Raleigh, North Carolina

As reported by TechRepublic’s Conner Forrest, 5G adoption won’t be immediate, as it requires new infrastructures and technologies to operate, but it is a change users are looking forward to. The appeal of 5G lies both in its higher internet speeds and low latency, which could potentially improve the capabilities of cloud computing and unlock future potential for autonomous vehicles.

5G is expected to make change in the US economy and on how people work, as reported by TechRepublic’s Alison DeNisco Rayome.

The big takeaways for tech leaders:

  • 5G coverage remains a hot topic in tech, with many people looking forward to increased internet speed for more productivity and lower latency.
