UK.gov: Huge mobile masts coming to a grassy hill near you soon

Yes, but they will also need more powerful transmitters to take advantage of the improved range. Without taller masts, 5G would have worse coverage than current 4G, since high frequency signals don't pass through obstructions so well.

Here's hoping they keep these masts as unobtrusive as possible.
