As a long retired IT sort of guy, I am still interested in what's happening out there. I hope to be around when 5G does arrive, I will enjoy the "new toy" and like always, say "I remember when......" 1x was the newest thing on the block. we could actually access a web page "sort of".... but that was before web pages were much more than TEXT reading.... now that web pages are mostly pictorial/graphical presentations, 1x won't even get started anymore. but, 1x is still alive as my Samsung S5 proudly proclaims when I get way down deep in the canyons mowing the county roadside grass berms...

5G – The Evolving Revolution
Like previous generations of mobile technology, 5G is evolving as a new superset of network technologies with an aim to cater for:
- 1000 times traffic volumes
- 10s of billions of connected devices
- 10-100 times higher end-user data rates
- Extremely low latency to achieve real-time video broadcast quality
- 10x end-user device battery life
- All type of different devices (mobiles, tablets, television, wearable tech, vehicles, the break room coffee machine…anything!)
