5G in 2020: Next generation wireless network

The next generation of wireless network is just around the corner. 5G service, which provides connection speeds up to ten times as fast as the speediest home broadband service, is expected to see a wide rollout in 2020. CNET senior producer Dan Patterson joined CBSN AM to talk more about the impact of this technology.

DoD already used up a big part of the 5G MMW frequencies (spectrum allocation for 5G), leaving less commercial use. The excerpt below explains why the U.S. is still struggling with 5G in terms of implementation.

"The Department of Defense (DOD), however, holds large portions of the usable spectrum. Although DOD uses certain MMW frequencies for high-profile military applications such as Advanced Extremely High-Frequency satellites that provide assured global communications for U.S. forces, it extensively uses sub-6 frequencies—leaving less sub-6 availability in the United States than in other countries. The Defense Innovation Board (DIB) advised DOD to consider sharing sub-6 spectrum to facilitate the build-out of 5G networks and the development of 5G technologies used in the sub-6 band. While DOD has been moving toward greater spectrum sharing, it has expressed concern that sharing presents operational, interference, and security issues for DOD users. As an alternative to spectrum sharing, some analysts have argued that portions of the sub-6 spectrum should be reserved for commercial use. This would require DOD to relocate certain applications to other parts of the spectrum. The DIB estimates this approach would take around 10 years to complete, as opposed to 5 years for spectrum sharing."

According to the National Security Implications of Fifth Generation (5G) Mobile Technologies document and excerpt to find out why the US is still struggling with 5G in terms of implementation.

LOL, we can barely even get a cell signal in our town. We're still on smoke signals here. Thankfully we'll probably never get 5G.

Just give us 2g with Unlimited Text & Talk
5g is a horrible joke - 10x the speed - No Data!
