This focuses heavily on the "new-radio" part of 5G. The layer 0-1 protocol for data transfer.

5G also comes with a lot of changes higher in the stack. Many of them essentially fully internal to the telco's themselves. Part of this we might notice are new protocols for registering a device with a cell tower, new protocols when roaming or getting higher speeds (and more packet drops) for specific applications when requested.

Other parts are having lower latency because the packets get routed closer to the cell-tower. Having your own private 5G network at your job-site with guaranteed uptime. Having more reliable service in busy moments because the operator back end is more virtualized and can thus spin up more capacity when needed.
