  1. It gets added in the air. If two different signal transmit at the same time the receiver will receive the sum of two signals. So they need clever mathematics to code the signal in a way that the message could always* be recovered. Always is in asterisk because there is a limit to how much signal can be transmitted at the same time and can still be recovered.

  2. 5g is not always faster. In general but there are exception 5g is faster if you are closer to the tower. 5g increases their capacity by reducing the cell area and having more sites to increase frequency reuse. If you are far from a sub tower then you will not get increase data capacity.
