Comparative Analysis of 4G and 5G Network Speeds Across Adailiya, Kaifan, and Yarmouk in Kuwait

This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of the outdoor performance of 4G and 5G networks across the neighborhoods of Adailiya, Kaifan, and Yarmouk in Kuwait. The analysis focuses on key performance metrics, including ping (latency), jitter (latency variation), download speeds, and upload speeds. Field tests conducted in various outdoor locations reveal that 5G significantly outperforms 4G in all measured parameters. Average download speeds on 5G reached up to 444 Mbps, while 4G managed 50 Mbps. Similarly, upload speeds were markedly higher on 5G, averaging 53 Mbps compared to 31 Mbps on 4G. Furthermore, 5G networks demonstrated substantial improvements in latency and jitter, ensuring a more stable and responsive connection. These findings underscore the transformative potential of 5G for enhancing outdoor connectivity in residential areas and highlight the need for further infrastructure development to ensure consistent coverage and performance.
