“5G is really nothing more than a promise at this point no matter what the commercials say.”
Doesn’t 5G deal with the communication close to individual wireless end points (more, closer spaced antennas)?
If so then it has nothing to do with the switching of data that travels long distances over fiber.
Bandwidth hogs are the video streams whose main use is to provide us entertainment. Those streams are switched through the network core. 5G won’t reduce that hogging.
I've read 4G antennas can be spaced 1-2 miles and 5G needs to be closer to 500 yards.
