I see. So this is about increasing and maintaining capacity as part of the move to being 100% reliant on mobile technology. But from what you said earlier it isn't up to the task if it has less flexibility.

Maybe, because the quest for high-speed broadband in each home (a promise made by all political parties) via fibre/cable is too disruptive when it comes to installation, and in remote areas it is damned nigh on impossible.

5G promises the speeds of cable BB but without the damage to the environment. It's just a question of time whether it will work out that way.

When you get older, speed is less important.

Re: So What Now With Huawei Being Awarded G5 Access

In rural villages like where I live it's a struggle to receive 4G. If it was not for wifi allowing the calls to 'piggy back' broadband, mobiles simply could not be used. Before being advised to change the SIM card in my mobile to a 4G card, as that 'might make a difference', I could make and receive calls on 3G without any problem. Since changing the card calls are a nightmare at times. The reason is that the transmitter, just half a mile from my home, is a 3G transmitter. This one, according to my provider, will perhaps one day be upgraded to 4G, nobody can tell me if and when, meanwhile I get a good deal on the package cost. Mostly it's a good service away from home, so I just accept that whichever provider I change to I live in 'The Third World' so the problem will be the same.

It does seem as though this is all planned like an incomplete patchwork quilt. There are more security threats in the haphazard and fragmented way everything is structured than in one company or another.

Hi

The advantages of 5G

https://www.iotsworldcongress.com/ad...l-benefit-iot/

Locally, Harper Adams University are developing systems reliant on 5G which will automate many aspects of farming and greatly reduce the need for immigrant labour.

Hi

Science Fiction rapidly becomes Science Fact.

Remember your mobile 5 years ago to what it is now?

My lights go on and off when I enter or leave a room, same with my heating.

My watch automatically calls an Ambulance when my heart rate goes wrong.

Guy is epileptic, when he has a seizure his watch sends a message to the NHS with his location.

This is the future.
