I’m tired of the nG bullshit. I can’t get magic hundreds of megabits.
Not even real 5G is deployed (the 5G is falsely advertised) in my country. Licenses for 5G frequencies have been bought by telcos a few months ago.
Not even real 5G deployed
Yeah, I lived in London and have never caught real 5G. No longer there, yet still have never detected real 5G. At least here in the UK, they seem to have opted in for NR/NSA (New radio/Non-standalone) which gives you some of the speed boost, but none of the other advantages such as the full speeds we can get, the better privacy features like modern encryption standards.
For more info, there is an app called Privacy Cell on F-Droid. You can look through the info in the hamburger menu -> protocols Link: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.stoutner.privacycell/
I can already burn through my entire wireless data limit in minutes. What is the point in it being faster without data being cheaper? At least from a users perspective and not someone who owns a telecommunications company.
I am not sure but maybe this can give a hint as to how high speed wireless data transfer can be helpful: https://www.ericsson.com/en/cases/2019/5g-smart-harbor-at-the-port-of-qingdao
The 5G connection included data traffic from more than 30 high-definition cameras as well as control data for a programmable logic controller (PLC). These operations required millisecond-level latency control signals, as well as stable, remote and real-time control, requirements which only key 5G technologies can deliver.
The field trial confirmed the feasibility and potential of 5G applications for the development of smart harbors, and as a result, Ericsson, China Unicom and other partners have agreed to jointly explore commercial 5G networks and solutions for smart harbors that include both automated harbors and the modernization of traditional harbors.
It’s not just meant for end users.
It sounds like the latency is really important here and not necessarily the bandwidth. That makes sense.
@IzzyData @yogthos lower cost is important if wireless applications were to expand, better coverage is important too. It was little advertised that 5G infrastructure was supposed to cost less than 4G infrastructure because it broke the industry model of 5G being the new shiny that you have to pay $X more a month… the same model that killed 3D movies.
America will never have 6G and half of Americans will be convinced it’s because it causes long COVID
Trump will run on a platform of banning 6g in US 😂
They want to obsolete all our phones again? No thanks.
Amazing what some surveillance agencies funding can bring to telecoms.
Amazing what making a good product that doesn’t have five eyes backdoors in it can bring telecoms.
