Apparently the range is poor?

I don’t see 5G improving coverage in areas where I go that already don’t have coverage.

Whatever happened to the use of ELF to communicate with subs?

Not sure about that. May have to be how much data can be transmitted via the carrier through the medium of air, through walls, glass, etc.

Chinese make high quality products. It will come down as it always does, to scalability and cost.

See T-Mobile 600 MHz 5g. Not as fast as mm but long range.

The contest between VHS and BetaMax video recording came down to which format the porn industry went with.

I’m going to guess the “high-bandwidth” app which will drive the desire for 5G will involve virtual-reality interactive porn.

5G is the next advance in mobile communications. T_mobile already has a nation wide 5G network in place. There is no turning back.

Sounds like everyone’s health is at stake!

Why Scientists Are Opposing 5G Networks

Scientists are speaking up and demanding we examine the health risks more closely before blanketing our neighborhoods, homes, and businesses with 5G technology radiation.

The controversy about the potential dangers of electromagnetic frequencies from cell phones, household electronics, and power lines has raged for many years. Studies do show an increased risk for certain health issues, most notably cancer. With the introduction of 5G technology the threat to our health has greatly increased, so much so that many people, including physicians and scientists are speaking up and demanding we examine the risks more closely before blanketing our neighborhoods, homes, and businesses with more electromagnetic energy.

5G, or 5th Generation, wireless network is the latest development of mobile technologies promoted as a means to achieve faster internet and streaming services, provide better cell phone coverage, and reduce commute times and energy usage with improved public safety due to smart grid efficiencies. The telecom industry is touting 5G as a necessity for modern life—something that will take us out the “stone age” of technology and into a new frontier of self-driving cars and washing machines that can order their own soap.

Unlike the 4G technology currently in use, which relies on huge 90-foot cell towers with a dozen or so antenna ports on each, the 5G system uses numerous small cell bases, each with about 100 antenna ports. It is expected to be up to 100 times faster than 4G technology and capable of supporting at least 100 billion devices.

The USN ELF facility covering the Atlantic is still active near Cutler, Washington County, ME.

I don’t want government controlled “...washing machines that can order their own soap..”.

Poor is putting it kindly.

Line of sight, it’s got range, but it penetrates very little.

Yes. They have to use higher frequencies to meet the higher bandwidth requirements. Shorter ranges AND you need more antennas to cover everyone even if they aren’t trying to now live-stream via Periscope or have self-driving cars navigating via the signals.

And they’re eroding ham radio frequency allocations to get some of the needed frequencies for 5G.

I thought VHS was an open standard and Betamax was Sony proprietary.

Selfdriving cars replacing your ability to control your movement.

It's designed for short range. Unlike your current phone, antennas will be directional and use nearby microcells. The architecture is fundamentally different.
