The challenge to 5G is the fact you need a much denser population of towers\repeaters as the transmit range difference between 4G and 5G is substantial. To be more precise 4G has a range of approximately 10 miles, 5G is about 1000 feet.
That will be a significant challenge to 5G making it's way into rural areas, for now. I'm sure as technology develops that may change.
