Right. And Democrats will happily embrace bipartisanship and vote "yes" for President Trump's SCOTUS nominees.
Apps will expand to suck up all of the bandwidth.
For instance, when you walk past a chiropracter’s office, some sensor is going to take a movie, send it to a server, analyze your gait, and then notify your phone that you need a spinal adjustment.
And every type of business/lamp post will be doing that. Walla, the network gets filled and everything slows down.
5G networks will increase the number of connections from about 4500 per antennae, to about 40,000 per antennae. For 5G networks to function at full effect, they require many closely spaced antennas (the speed of light becomes a lag factor), with precise beam-forming to reduce interference. They will need to track every connected device to within a few centimeters, both for azimuth, and to carefully optimize the amount of power applied to the connection.
So clearly this can be used for detailed tracking. Can it be prevented from being used for targeting?
Net Neutrality epic FAIL.
Interestingly that the author can only talk about cities. The effect of 5G will be seen especially in the rural parts of the country where we are dependent on satellite based internet and a weak signal from the nearest cell tower along an interstate highway. No highway, no cell tower. no cell tower, no cell phone. 5G will bring real connectivity to rural areas, but only if there is a major effort to ensure that the infrastructure is upgraded.
technology can only do so much...
Many years ago a surgeon cousin of mine was doing research about battlefield surgery from remote locations.
The ONLY hold up was the time delay.
Imagine the lives saved on a D-Day scale invasion if you could simply put the wounded into a “pod” and have hundreds of trauma surgeons 5,000 miles away operating on them.
The impact would be significant for civilian cases as well.
And this was twenty years ago. I imagine we are a little closer to this reality now.
Ted Stevens is not amused. It's a series of tubes.
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?
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.
Goodbye cable companies.
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.
“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.
With the wide availability of Wi-Fi, I very rarely use my phone’s 4G...so why should I care about 5G?
