I think 5G latency requirements are currently very academically driven without much practical validation, see e.g. Tactile Internet.
- gsich 3y agoLatency is also "only" improved to and from a tower, the rest stays the same.
- mgrund 3y agoAbsolutely, this is a central subject of study in Tactile Internet from what I’ve heard; next-gen backhaul/WAN technology. It starts with first hop to support local Tactile Internet networks. Private, ultra low latency 5G LANs are already being used in e.g. some production facilities.
