In /r/crypto there's a monthly wish list thread where people can wish for articles (or other stuff) from the community. If there was such a thing for HN I would wish for this: A technical article with perspectives from people actual in-the-know about 5G, describing how/if 5G is actually going to enable things like this in a way not possible with 4G.
I can't understand why IoT would benefit from 5G, it can't be the lower latency can it? Is the energy consumption lower?
To me, 5G just feels like an enormous hype train.
- wl 7y agoI'm arguably in IoT, though I really dislike the term. The argument for 5G in IoT is that there will be more total bandwidth available. If even if every toaster, toilet, fridge, and smoke detector used category M1 LTE, I'm skeptical we'd have a bandwidth problem. That's more of an issue with mobile video streaming than anything else.
- yorwba 7y agoThere may be no wish list for articles in the future, but you can wish for something to have been posted in the past and try to find it. From what I've read on HN, the advantage of 5G is mostly that it enables higher device density (i.e. IoT) with smaller cell sizes.

- Jhsto 7y agoAny specific parts would you like to know more about? In general, "how/if 5G is actually going to enable things like this in a way not possible with 4G" can be done. But, from a software engineering perspective, this has more to do with how the playing field is changing for mobile network operators than to the consumer.
