SPRING 2018
In February, AT&T announced the fi rst three of a dozen cities to
off er mobile 5G by the end of 2018. The winners? Residents of
Dallas and Waco, Texas; and Atlanta. — Jennifer Robertson Norris
So how big of a deal is 5G?
Considering the fact that this latest in wireless network
technology works at a speed 10 times faster than the current 4G
network, it's considered an industry-changer. In consumer terms
it means it will now take 30 seconds to download a movie to play
instead of the six minutes it takes today.
Most mobile devices and smartphones don't support 5G, but that
will begin to change in early 2019 as all manufacturers look to
add more capable devices to the market place. But remember
that 5G impacts more than your phone usage. Think autonomous
driving, connected vehicles and ultra-real HD video.
