FactFlash: 5G/IOT For Not So Dummies™️
How to define 5G for your family?
>> Wikipedia: "User centric (or cell phone developer initiated) network concept instead of operator-initiated (as in 1G) or system developer initiated (as in 2G, 3G and 4G) standards. Li-Fi (a portmanteau of light and Wi-Fi) is a massive MIMO visible light communication network to advance 5G.” Wiki - to the point!
Chaim Gartenberg at The Verge: "In the simplest possible definition, 5G is the fifth generation of cellular networking. It’s the next step in mobile technology, what the phones and tablets of the future will use for data, and it should make our current LTE networks as slow and irrelevant as 3G data seems now.” Even my wife might get this...
sdx central: "5G is the term used to describe the next-generation of mobile networks beyond the 4G LTE mobile networks of today. The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) will be the standards body that releases the final standard, which is also being referred to as International Mobile Telecommunications (IMT)-2020. The 3GPP is the mobile industry standards body that will submit a proposed specification to the ITU to be part of the IMT-2020 standard. Mobile operators and vendors all participate in the 3GPP specification process.” Wake up, Mika, wake up!
