Earlier quoted context omitted.
5G is nothing but marketing wank. Carriers aren't deploying some new sci-fi technology, they are just incrementally upgrading their networks to a more recent (and backwards compatible) revision of the LTE standard.
5G is a generation of cellular network tech that allows higeher frequency and more spread out (oversimplifying a bit) cell "towers". Even if you don't use 5G (or any tech at all) it can be used to track your movement with good precision.

#21An optional part of the new LTE revision is support for millimeter wave radios. These radios have very short range and so you would need a lot of them, more like WiFi hotspots than cell towers. I guess that means that the carrier could geolocate you better, but only if you have a supported device and are very near a millimeter wave AP.
