I’m going to guess that it’s some advanced, ‘Big Brother Tracking Device.’

How close am I? ;)

Sounds like another marketing scam like 4G.

When are they going to roll out the true 4G?

5G Will Make Your Phone Super Fast In A Few Years, But What Is It?

It's a device you make calls with, but that's not important right now.

The paragraph on “latency” proves the author doesn’t understand the subject.

I expect this is a push toward eliminating wired Internet service entirely. Why spend the money installing/upgrading thousands of miles of old wire/fiber in an area, when a fast-swap cargo container + 100’ antenna can service the same area?

There’s a reason Google stopped rolling out its much-lauded gigabit fiber networks - likely that wireless is poised to overtake in speed and be profoundly cheaper to upgrade.

Kids will be able to blow through their monthly data limit before they leave home in the morning on the first of the month, rather than having it happen on the bus ride home from school.

This will be used in the next gen Vehicle-2-Vehicle or Vehicle-2-Infrastructure communications. This new standard allows for ad-hoc networking that doesn’t require infrastructure. ...and no, these standards don’t compromise anonymity and leak personal data. They *will* reduce deaths on the road and greatly improve traffic flow.

It will change everything.

5G = 4G + G

Some people such as my wife still needs land line phones. Her sister lives in a location in New Hampshire that has iffy cell coverage. My wife calls from Wisconsin and needs the land line to land line connection
