4G or 5G internet in your motorhome: what do you notice in practice?
4G or 5G internet in your motorhome: what does it mean in practice?
Being online at all times during your motorhome trip has become a matter of course for many travellers. Navigating, working remotely, video calling home or simply streaming a series in the evening. Mobile internet in your motorhome makes it possible, but what is the difference between 4G and 5G in practice?
4G internet in the motorhome is currently still more than sufficient for most applications. Coverage in Europe is extensive and stable, and the speed is high enough for streaming in HD, emailing and surfing the internet with multiple devices at the same time. 4G is often reliably available, especially at campsites and along motorways.
5G internet goes one step further. The speed is higher and the connection responds faster, which is especially noticeable when downloading large files, video calling and using multiple devices at the same time. In practice, you will notice the difference especially when you use a lot of data or work on the go. Keep in mind that 5G is not yet available everywhere, especially outside urban areas.
With a good router and external antenna, you can get the most out of both 4G and 5G. Systems such as Travel Vision's WiFi Connect ensure a stable connection by amplifying the signal and creating a secure private network in the motorhome. This makes you less dependent on variable campsite WiFi and allows you to choose what best suits your travel style.
For those who want to be online without any worries while on the road, 4G is still an excellent choice. Those who want to be prepared for the future and are looking for maximum speed should opt for 5G.
