"5G" isn't really a thing, yet, as the governing body that decides what specifically goes into each generation of wireless tech hasn't come up with standards for the tech or its deployment yet. AT&T was outbid by Verizon for some key 5G spectrum itself, too. AT&T's 5G Evolution network, for now, is based on 4G LTE technology using extras like 4×4 MIMO and 256 QAM to boost speeds in the same way that T-Mobile has since last year.

Still, Netgear's new mobile hotspot will provide better speeds on more devices as a mobile Wi-Fi router, and while 5G Evolution is still restricted to two locations, there are at least three more cities AT&T is looking to roll it out to, with a nationwide push in late 2018.

Update: An AT&T spokesperson reached out to note that 5G Evolution works on 5G Evolution is supported on the S8, S8+, S8 Active, Note 8, LG V30, and Moto Z2 Force.
