    Hi,
    I was wondering, is it possible to get a 5g mobile dongle anywhere in Ireland? I can only see 4g ones offered?

    If not would it be possible to buy a 5g sim card and buy a dongle separately?

    Theres only one main brand option.

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/E6878-370-Portable-1-65Gbps-8000mAh-Chipset/dp/B084KCWTSG

    Its £400. You probably only need a 4G device.

    Thanks. Was looking for a way of live streaming HD footage without wifi. Guess I'll have to look into another way.

    4G is generally plenty for HD though? 5G is better if you’re very close to a mast but typical usage wouldn’t notice much difference. Now that 5G is bedding in more I wouldn’t be surprised if one of the operators came out with a 5G modem option in the next couple of months.

    4G is absolutely plenty for one stream. Its plenty for 10 in many places.
