Nope. The cellular guys were already talking about this when I was getting out of the generator business, and they thought it was all a lot of pixie dust.
The mm wave will support some serious speeds, but it has very limited range. This is what they deploy in metropolitan areas. The lower frequency (600 MHz?) stuff will go into outlying areas where line of sight and latency is expected. It matters not to me, as there’s nothing I do with a phone that would ever require those kinds of speeds that I could imagine. -D > On Dec 15, 2020, at 5:41 PM, Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Here you go: > https://tech.slashdot.org/story/20/12/14/2124229/heres-the-5g-glossary-every-american-is-apparently-going-to-need > > Confused yet? > > On Tue, Dec 15, 2020 at 5:08 PM Dan Penoff via Mercedes < > mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > >> 5G is very limited and practically line of sight, so if you’re not right >> next to a 5G node in a major city, you’re not going to see it. >> >> The hype about 5G is just that.
