Unless bandwidth prices for 5G get dramatically lower than 4G (unlikely, because I don't see mobile operators discriminating subscriptions like that), then 5G won't have much of an impact on phone owners.
- m0zg 6y agoWhat _is_ IoT in the first place?
- bad_user 6y agoTraditionally dumb devices that are streaming telemetry / sensor data to, and possibly receving commands from, a central server. 5G is supposedly better for the use-case because it should support more connections, it should have less latency, and the devices should use less power for staying connected.
