- matthewmacleod 7y agoThat’s really not a problem with an outdoor antenna though. I think the idea is that 5G would be used as the last mile carrier into some kind of CPE.
- ianai 7y agoAlso we already have a model for bringing weak signals into the home through antennas-even roof mounted.
- Merrill 7y agoA clear glass window is about a 10 dB drop at 28 GHz. Windows with film and foil-faced insulation in walls result in more like a 20 dB drop. The obvious solution is a CPE in the window that converts to WiFi within the dwelling. Alternatively, use the sub-6 GHz bands. The end game by whatever means is that all the cords are cut and radio is the ubiquitous connection technology.
- anticensor 7y agoHigh-speed modes of 5G are like that. Sub-5Ghz modes of 5G-NR also exist.
- sroussey 7y agoYeah, that’s why I said mm 5G. Curious... what is the sub-6 speed increases in 5G over LTE?
