Tech Ping!................
Bf’nD
I already don’t get coverage in parts of West River SD, US highways in Wyo. and Mont.
This is not a help.
Huwai is owned by the Chinese government and is a known security risk. Their equipment is known to have backdoor access.
Does this actually matter?
SkyNet is already self aware…
As it should be.
Sure it is!
Now you will know you’re stranded faster!................
Huawei = Communist China = biggest copycats in the world with nothing new under the sun. They are a shining example of how government-think suppresses creativity even though China has literally over 4 times as many brains as the U.S.
We shouldn’t be surprised top-down, state-run, centrally-planned economies can achieve certain technological wonders when they put resources to it. The Soviet Union exploded an atom bomb only 4 years after the USA did. They were the first to put a man into space
Huawei is effectively a state-run company. It carries out policy goals and development that sync with, and with help from, the Chinese Government. It also has a very large captive market in China.
The question is, how are such things used to help one’s economy, improve lives of citizens, prepare for the future, develop new products, etc. etc.
Top down, central-planning, statist societies like China are walking contradictions and terrible at allowing such advances to follow their normal development course.
Other than pride and bragging rights I don’t think anyone cares about this, in have a 5G phone and get 5G service but I honestly can’t see how it’s significantly better than a 4G phone and service
NASA was legit when merit based with a detailed mission.
I’m getting used to enjoying being in Deep Flyover Country.
May I be able to live out my days in Peace....
I live in a trailer I bought when I retired, and parked it outside my sister’s house.
I get considerable better through-put using the 5G service on her router. The computer I am using to type this is about 30 feet away from the router. Even though signal strength suffers a bit from the distance, the download speed difference is double that of the older transmitter type.
5.5G? Sorry, I’ll wait for 1H.
They were also the first to put a satellite into space.................
Too bad the Kulture of the USA no longer values and promotes personal responsibility.
“Be Prepared”
The Boy Scouts were not wrong.
I’m sure I’m some cases more bandwidth of 5G is great but it’s no big deal to me, personally I don’t like tying all my access up in one company,
.
Oh, goody..the better to track your every move...opening fridge, using dishwasher, hot water use, heat/AC use, TV watching, not to mention “phone” computer use...ETC
>>It will also support massive low-cost IoT (Internet of Things) networks and public services <<
Low cost: meh.
I’ll take low-priced instead, please.
