As I mentioned, bandwidth is proportional to available access/RF bandwidth (Shannon's Theorem). Current available band in US (CBRS) is limited to 20MHz per user/enterprise 9I think for enterprise you can go higher, but its still limited). FCC hasn't updated the standards (CBRS) for 5G. Germany is way ahead in p5G (trying to keep the leadership in Industry 4.0/Industrie 4.0, I am not sure what's the available band there. Search for Hannover Trade fairs private 5G where its deployed for Edge computing and secure industrial app ecosystem). In terms of bandwidth, p5G will not provide any advantage over WiFi esp WiFi6. Its the enterprise level ecosystem where its going to be huge differentiator.

Regarding your point of tower level handover, that will not be an issue. It should not be in pLTE (p4G) too. But I can understand in earlier versions, the systems might be feature limited.

Are you sure it was local 4G service line p4G or Femto service where operators provide small device to cover either indoor no-RF spots or to move the traffic load from network to public internet/network.

You are on right path. Its of no use for consumer. Private 5G cant compete against WiFi with current ecosystem. The end devices dont support 5G modem (or 4G). It cant compete against WLL (Wireless in Local Loop) (Means Wireless based broadband service). As you need dedicated internet service to configure p5G (private 5G) and to let it remain active, there is no business case for p5G for broadband service/WLL. There is another service, FWA/Fixed Wireless Access, by different 5G provider where you get a receiver which is connected to home router. Good question is, what this hype of p5G:

1) Industrial area coverage: Where you need 50 WiFi radio unit, you can provide service with 3-4 p4G/p5G radios.

2) Hazardous areas: where you cant provide the networking at all the corners or areas, one p5G radio blast area (esp with beam technology) can provide the coverage.

3) Security: Mobile phone systems are based on shared secret and proven to be secure in terms of access compare as well as on air to other technology.

4) Packet loss: Less packet loss compare to WiFi (believe me, its big deal in Industrial world)

5) Compatibility: what's a negative for 5G modem (not many devices are available), is positive to some extent. Once investment is made with 5G modem, the device can be on road too. THink like, acting like enterprise node in p5G area and limited services outside (or device consumer).

6) Edge computing: With new standards, the applications can run at the edge. Those can be done currently with WiFi too. But WiFi has limitation of devices counts (too many needed), path reliability and geographic coverage. Whole factory or port or airport can be covered with small p5G footprint with specific applications running at the Edge (I live in this world :) )

p5G will be game changer in enterprises with large complexes with moving assets.

Let me put my perspective, coming from a guy who is involved in private Cellular networking (US as well as other countries):

1) Private 5G can be deployed either with licensed operator (Cellular provider) or in CBRS band (CBRS band is opened by FCC for the private cellular deployment). It can be used free or paid, different options. (Fees is minimal).

2) CBRS still doesnt support 5G. No idea how AWS will provide. But even if it is private 4G, for the end user it doesnt matter.

3) Your available bandwidth is limited by the air waves bandwidth you are using, nit by 4G or 5G. Per enterprise, CBRS band is limited to LTE equivalent band (20MHz). Total CBRS band is 200MHz, if I am not wrong). You are not going to get giga speed just because its 5G.

4) Not all phones support CBRS band. You will be limited to CBRS band support in handset feature. 5) Each end device will need SIM (SIM card either physical or virtual). Its not like your laptop will be connected with private 4G or 5G. You will need modem as well as SIM card (unless your devices support these features).

6) Its really for small geographic reason. Its not that easy to take the equipment with you and start using. (like in car or train etc).

7) There is a concept of SAS server, that's why AWS device needs to be connected to this server in cloud (There are SAS license holders, to them). Once you install the system and that is connected to the SAS server, first you get the frequency band which is open in your area. If some one using that band (another CBRS player), you are out of luck (ask me , who has to call different teams when deploy in lab). PLus, there are scenarios when these licenses can be revoked (if you are using free band). The law enforcement can ask FCC to use the band temporarily. GCC can revoke your lic and stop the system.

What AWS did is big, but for enterprises.

There is a difference in "avoid selling things until you can provide those things" and "avoid selling things until you are allowed to sell things".

Link to white paper, will be appreciated.

wow.. :(

When I moved to US in late '90s, my mentor told the Milk distribution story/change (NY/NJ). During his grandfather times (I am sure around 1950/60s, Milkman used to enter the home and check how much milk is needed and change the bottle. With time, few crimes and privacy concepts started coming into picture, the milks bottles were left outside. And now Amazon wants to enterr your home to do exactly what milkman used to do 60-70years back.

yes... First Gen Roku too had analog outputs. :)

I used my CRT for long time as smart TV. First Gen Roku had analog outputs. :)

Thanks... Interesting...

Doesnt look like fundamentals of Programming. May be more of, Foundations of programming for FAANG interviews.

Best number should be Robin Hood consumer. I read somewhere that 56% of RH subscribers were owning GME. I dont do stock trade, not sure whether this means every one has atleast one or the company let you group the $$ amounts too.

So happy to hear your story and fight. I lost my dad in 2019 after 10 years of stage 4 Thyroid cancer. I was always on FDA site and on internet to look for new treatments. Your case made my day or month... :) Beat Cancer.

As a layman, I am seeing coming inflation. We are seeing lowest credit card debt, lowest mortgage and more savings. Once economy will be reasonably open, people will try to go on vacation, have more parties, more flights, more clothes (fancy as well as official etc). Till now, people were putting money in stack, bitcoin and online shopping (whcih is replacement). I am saying this for some times. But in few months, people will try to use their co called created wealth.

"The cargo version can also be used for rapid point-to-point Earth transport."

Why no one is talking about this. This will be game changer if can be done with bigger payload. There are models created earlier that using rocket technology/mechanism, LA-HK can be reached in 2 hours. This can have huge impact on avionics esp with trade.

Lets tighten the belt for winter :)

I used to be a fan of Jugaad concepts, but ended up (opposite end of spectrum) critique. The reason was, the concept was used by corporations as well as SME domain for cost cutting and throttling the innovation. The reason they become successful in doing this, too much focus on cheap labor. Hopefully, the concept of using the technology what we have (basic foundation of ITIL v4) to start the project, work iteratively with improvement in cycle with core focus on achieving the targets (again, core philosophy of ITIL v4) and get the product whats the need of hour. There is core similarity of JUGAAD mind set and Agile as well as modern dev-ops. Hopefully, world will take Jugaad what it was.

Brief history of Jugaad (as one mentioned, means life hack): With explosive growth in '90s (and before that, controlled production of commercial vehicles in India), local mechanics started using small diesel engines or totalled vehicles engines/front body and attaching that with locally available carts. Haryana roads were full of these vehicles (before that there used to be 3 wheel tempo, which was called Jugaad as people were using that for people movement instead of freight), This thread has some good examples of Jugaads :)

Thanks. Should not have added my text.

It can be mine mistake, is it not allowed?

How this is different from this scenerio:

Think you send the money for mortgage payment from your brother account who doesnt has any financial relationship wrt that mortgage (by mistake).. Plus you pay for whole year in one transaction incl interest. Can you go back to bank (lets take Citi for simplicity) and ask for money back and telling that you will send for one month only with right account. How will Citi react?

Yes. If you search at Bind, seems like some in marketing too.

Seems like some layoffs too, https://twitter.com/whyhiannabelle/status/122810842950535168...

What I heard, insurance coverage played the big role. Seems like, in US, insurance companies are able to find exclusions for this scenario on foreign land. This is the text shared by one: "..Your travel & health insurance could contain exclusions to pandemics since the regional insurance industries can't measure the amount of risk. The insurer might defer to apply broader exclusions...."

Current most powerful is 2000 kW in France. How these modern ones are different from old times.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roumoules_radio_transmitter "..The longwave transmitter at Roumoules, which was inaugurated in 1974, transmits at 216 kHz (until 1988: 218 kHz) with a transmission power of 1400 kW (until 1976: 2000 kW)...."

Best line on Internet I read today. :) BTW, could you provide any ref re Chemical industry in Singapore.

Can we get the full article? Its behind paywall.
