There's a cell tower a couple miles away but there's hills in between us and it. We can drive 1/4 mile up the road to the top of the another hill and get one tiny bar, sometimes. Just enough to send and receive texts but phone calls, not so much as the signal is intermittent. 5G, 9G, won't help if it's still intermittent.
Ted Stevens is not amused. It's a series of tubes.
Given her history of poor life decisions and narcissism, I strongly suspect botched cosmetic surgery.
It will take awhile for everything to come up to speed.
Local WiFi and server farms will probably be the gating item.
5G is just one part of the puzzle but a big part.
I remember when 802.1ac became available.
Nothing really was faster until I upgraded my local router.
...then I needed a ISP with >60mb speed to take advantage of it.
Will it make me talk faster?
Replace your terrain with skyscapers. The phones work fine. How could that be? Of course, infastructure is why that stuff works in cities. A receiver on on the hill top of the hill east of you would do the trick. No one has designed an affordable application for your situation. But, it can be done. The lack of TV signals in mountain areas was how the cable industry got started. The first guy who decided that it was a good idea is a multi millionaire. He is still alive.
Where ja get that picture of that Eastern Europeon Hotel Maid ?
RE: Will it make me talk faster?
Why would you want to do that?
Greater bandwidth will allow for large-scale, glasses-free 3D video.
The understanding for how to do this has existed for more than a century, but the image resolution and data bandwidth is still not quite there yet.
LOL - Bingo!
Goodbye cable companies.
You SOB !!!
That wasn’t funny.
“Apps will expand to suck up all of the bandwidth.”
Definitely ... and a lot of it will be related to advertisements.
No end to the list of troubles that can occur once the bad dudes are inside your network due to a single weak link.
Years ago when I was in EMS/private ambulance service as a paramedic, we all agreed that the very WORST place to get a call from was from a Dr.’s office. They knew NOTHING of emergency Tx and just wanted you to “get them out of here”, even if the patient was bleeding to death, asphyxiating or in full code. You’ll die in a doctor’s office if anything goes wrong.
And in the ER, the nurses would routinely run a code while the doc stood by and “oversaw” things unless he was one of the more competent emergency certifed Advanced Life Support ones.
How did we survive without all this crap before?
I though just my first cellphone was kind of neat and have not “upgraded” from just making and receiving calls.
Yikes! I’m working on a big screen, and that was NOT NICE! Almost as bad as when I turned on the TV last week and Obama was on my screen, blathering away. A person’s heart can take only so much.
Two words:
Power failure.
So, then we are back to 2018. And we do pretty well today-compared to 1945.
Nothing is perfect.
“5G health care innovations are already making their way into the marketplace, from electronic sensors that monitor your sun exposure to trackers that stick to your clothes and provide up-to-the-minute health assessments.”
OMG!!! How have 99.99% of human beings survived and lived their natural lives without these things, if they are truly so G-d awful important.
They are ALL, 100% about suspending the act of using the human brain, to just let the machines tell you want to do. In the end most all education will be useless as EVERYTHING you need to do and when to do it will be told to you, as intructions, by some AI algorithm that will be running your life for you.
How about - don’t get too much sun, eat well, don’t be too sedantary, treat sweets as a treat and not a daily indulgence, drink moderately, don’t smoke - anything, get regular exercise if you have little to no work-related daily physical activity, get enough sleep and don’t oversleep in the morning. Electronic monitors needed? No.
