This is neat and all, but no LTE standard has been tapped for 5G. LTE Advanced Pro (the third generation of the LTE spec) is the closest to having a spec that can work for 5G, but has not yet been chosen for that.<p>In addition, it is implied that 5G will require usage of 28, 37, and 39 GHz, which LTE Advanced Pro does not currently have profiles for.<p>What San Marino is doing is building a current gen 4G network (ie, 4.9G or whatever they're calling it), allowing as many feature of LTE Advanced as possible (including complex MIMO), so in a few years most cell phones will have caught up to make effective use of it.<p>Also, as a side note, LTE Advanced Pro was introduced in 3GPP release 13 (early 2016), and anything that meets the requirements for 5G will not be until release 15 (most likely next year).
