However, if you're adding small cells every 500', tripling the amount of "towers" you have... does it matter much if it's LTE or NR? You're adding hundreds of megs if not gigs of capacity with LTE. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com From: "Mark Tinka" < [email protected] > To: "Saku Ytti" < [email protected] > Cc: [email protected] Sent: Friday, January 3, 2020 3:36:52 AM Subject: Re: 5G roadblock: labor On 3/Jan/20 11:25, Saku Ytti wrote: > > Yes markets differ, and this is not 4G/5G question, only thing 5G does > is help markets which struggle to provide sufficient service in dense > metro installations. Which brings us full circle - what's the cost of hooking those dense cities up to 5G in 2020 vs. running fibre to an 802.11ac|ax access point to serve its residents and visitors, in 2020? And more interestingly, if that city's residents and visitors had the option of connecting to active 5G or wi-fi, what do we think they'd choose? Mark.
