Now that's going to get interesting, I hope. Will we finally see a reliable alternative to 802.11?
- bzb4 6y agoI thought 11ax is meant to be finally reliable?
- LockAndLol 6y agoI was talking more about the alternatives. Bluetooth can be used for networking, but personal experience hasn't been very positive with reliability and range. LiFi never really took off. And honestly, another alternative doesn't come to mind...
- ksec 6y agoFor consumer usage, that is still uncertain. Technically it should be better than 802.11ax, but no one has figure out the patents royalty issues for this use case.
- foobiekr 6y agoPrivate APNs existed in 3g and LTE as well; 5g slicing is an evolution of that.
