5G is by nature shorter range, which at least makes the surveillance harder to do and more targeted when it happens. But I can't say much for the protocol, having not done much with it.
- xucheng 7y agoOn the flip side, I think this would make pinpoint the device‘s geo-location much easier.
- LilBytes 7y agoYeah that seems true, if there's more signal towers in a particular space it'll make triangulation of a person and their device easier to achieve through an increase of reference points.
- LilBytes 7y agoI don't see this as being a stop gap, the short comings (not an intended pun) of the range and potential penetration of 5G almost certainly means 4G is going to be around in the long term.
- greyhair 7y agommWave 5G is shorter range. 5G runs also on sub-6. The spec defines the modulation and the network, it doesn't hard-spec the frequency. So the coverage on low band 5G will be the same as 4G
