'Even if you could roll out this technology today, you're not going to get gigabit speeds in real world conditions. The laws of physics dictate that wireless bandwidth is a shared resource and congestion is the enemy. The more people using a wireless network at once, the slower their download speeds and upload speeds.'
great technology, Samsung was able to transmit on its own dedicated service. Add 1 more person, speed no longer achievable, 100 people???, 1000 people
I like this comment the best
'Whether you're an advocate of Labor's fibre to the home NBN plan or the Coalition's fibre to the node alternative, you have to face the fact that a wireless-only solution for all of Australia is impractical. Sorry, but the laws of physics transcend politics and are not open to ideological debate. The only way you're going to achieve gigabit download speeds from Samsung's 5G network is if you're the only person using that wireless tower'
who knows what the future brings but this doesn't appear to represent the demise of fibre technology yet.
