>The core of successfully demonstrating the technology is ultra-low latency communication technology. The communication delay between a distance of over 10,000 km is less than 0.3 seconds.
How exactly is this possible via 5G? The theoretical propagation delay over a distance of 10.000km is 0.033 seconds[1].

- paulsutter 4y ago0.3 seconds would not be surprising. The calculator you're using doesn't take into account: 1. The speed of light in a fiber is only 2/3 the speed of light in a vacuum (look it up) 2. Internet routes are far from a straight line, especially for international communication. The network distance is a multiple of the physical distance 3. Most protocols require more than one roundtrip per communication (because most protocols are implemented on local networks and the designers never notice extra roundtrips creeping in) The last of these is very unfortunate but true
