What does 5G have to do with that? There have been devices using 3G for years. It is very cheap and the infrastructure is pretty much everywhere.

- YeBanKo 4y agoA fully deployed 5G network will be able to support a much higher device density. Up to a million devices per sq km. Basically an antenna on every block and they will be able to connect every IoS device and scatter around a bunch of sensor, and still have some bandwidth left.
- fragmede 4y agoDepends on where you are, but 3G's being deprecated.
- yencabulator 4y agoIn the "5G" bundle of technologies, one of the things was specific features for connecting larger numbers of low power devices very cheaply. Think almost every >$20 gadget in your home having its own GSM modem.
- sircastor 4y ago5g deployment is going to be cheap enough for manufacturers to buy bandwidth and cut the consumer out of the decision entirely. They’ll get the user data for the cost of buying the bandwidth. And it’ll become a de-facto standard you won’t be able to buy a device without it.

It was a separate module with a cable to the mainboard. I unplugged it. The DME provider got all pissy about it, but I just ignored them. I'm guessing the main reason it was a separate circuit board was so they could install a compatible cellular module depending on what country it was to be shipped to.
