the best part about 5g is the insight into international trade and politics. as noted above, there are “5g ambulances”. in China there was the first “5g train station” (which i think makes sense if it means they have 5g service throughout the route. sometimes subways in particular have no data). there have also been “5g surgeries” where a doctor does remote surgery through robotics, but for some reason eschews wi-fi and uses 5g? it all seems like awkward marketing.

the next factor is how the US uses it’s power to benefit its own tech sector and damage China’s. the US was exposed as specifically using telecommunications infrastructure to broadly spy on other nations. they were caught red handed spying on their own citizens in the same way, and have damaged international relations by unapologetically spying on their own allies. after all this, they warn other nations to not use Huawei over spying concerns, despite any evidence. it would be funny if it wasn’t for the fact it’s been slightly effective. thankfully though, britain and germany just implied they may not ban Huawei.

every country has a city they’ve dubbed “silicon valley of [insert region here]”, of the netherlands, of east europe, of the north and so on. they can’t be seen as outdated by not having the latest tech. a handful of international companies compete to supply the infrastructure, with the US in particular threatening nations into banning the superior Chinese offering.

Trump being criticized for saying “6g” is actually kind of funny. here we are asking wtf 5g is. 6g is only slightly more elusive and useless than 5g, and we all know it’s inevitably coming because this is how the tech sector maintains itself. neither tech will have any effect on 99.999% of consumer use cases, but if telecoms don’t adopt them they’ll be luddites who won’t have a good excuse for raising phone bills.

also missed this earlier, looks like they are going all in with 5g even though there doesn't seem to be much demand over 4g

China Unicom Beijing Tuesday announced the launch of 5G coverage for Tiananmen Square, ahead of the upcoming two sessions, annual meetings of the national legislature and the top political advisory body.

According to the Beijing government's official website, the base stations will provide high-speed internet service to China Media Group's HD livestreaming coverage of the National People's Congress and the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, which will be held in early March.

do you go to mwca per chance? i'll probably go again this year


anyways i think the actual big thing for "5g" is that connections should be much more reliable. the changes on the network side with femto cells everywhere and massive mimo will make it harder to overload networks. on the handset side carrier aggregation should make current bandwidth more reliable and allow better connections when in motion (hence the "5g ambulances" and "5g autonomous cars" things despite cars and ambulances being able to send telemetry since the 90s).
the funny thing is that this is all still LTE, hence AT&T's marketing for their EPC/5GC setup
