That was a joke, son, a joke.... (foghorn leghorn)... but WH would be
a subtopic of OT...

AFAIK unless I missed the memo, we only have one special subject
header; "OT:".
If we want to reclassify or maybe just classify we should discuss. 5G
is what I would consider on-topic (an unfortunate turn for English
that both on and off begin with o; maybe we should use the last
letters FC for ofF topiC, and NC for oN topiC).
Nonetheless we do go down wormholes with alarming frequency. More
sub-categories of off topic might be appropriate. However, when I'm
slammed for time, I just ignore the OT: subjects until some other time.

Isn’t the only improvement in 5G larger channel widths?

In the news:
AT&T-owned Cricket Wireless is enabling 5G support on
some of its
plans, . . . the company’s only 5G compatible device so
far is the
$1,199 Samsung Galaxy S20 Plus. And getting access to 5G
on Cricket requires
subscribing to one of its Unlimited plans, which start at
$60 per month.
Cricket will likely use AT&T’s low-band 5G network (the
announcement
didn’t specify much in the way of technical details),
which uses low-band
850MHz spectrum technology that has broader range but
slower speeds than its
mmWave 5G, which AT&T calls its 5G Plus network.
The latter is currently limited to developers and select
businesses.
T-Mobile also offers its low-band 5G, which it launched
in December, to its
Metro prepaid customers.
So, they are finally admitting (it appears) that 5G for
mobile devices is
marketing hype as we all have known. Just one number higher
than 4G.
If it uses low band then it is not anything new in my
opinion. mm wave for
a mobile device is nothing more than a lab creature. And I
believe it will
remain that way.
