A bit about the current situation with 5G in the Uk; the history,how the Networks compare , the benefits and the implications for various sectors.

Obviously  there are different types,Whilst mmWave is currently unavailable in the UK, Ofcom has confirmed that it will open the 26 GHz and 40 GHz spectrum bands to mobile technology. 

Can see more information here https://www.uctel.co.uk/blog/guide-to-5g-in-the-uk-comprehensive-explanation-of-technology-and-tips-...

Would love true NR SA over here. The security of NR NSA is nowhere close. Though to be fair, we still support 2g, a system that can run with no encryption sooo

Interesting read and at the end a sales plug for 5G boosters, didn't realise that was a thing.

I thought it was all stalled due to the ending of Chinese 5G infrastructure.

Hear they are selling 6G.

I read that Wf-Fi is coming to be Wf-Fi 7 soon with new models due shortly. I don't think i have Wf-Fi 6 available from my network provider yet. I'm on 5G
