> 5G can be many things, but it isn't gigabit wireless speeds, or low latency, or smart microwaves. It can enable those technologies, but what it really is is a telecommunications standard, telling companies how to build out networks.

True enough. In some sense, 5G is just the next version of the protocol that mobile operators run. Its more than just a technical protocol, it comes with organizational practices as well.

However, the current standard was made with much intentionality. It was very much designed to enable gigabit wireless speeds, low latency and smart microwaves.
