In telecommunications, the 5G is an emerging next generation standard for high-speed wireless broadband cellular networks and is being deployed worldwide in late 2021, when the final phase of the Digital Service Initiatives (DSI) will kick in. The term “5G” is misleading: the final release of the official standard will not feature any of the latest chipsets, such as the USB-based Quick Nottingex or the VoLTE standard (which uses a USB modem instead of a dedicated VoIP network adapter). But the potential adoption of this technology has boosted the bandwidth capabilities of existing smartphones and brought the technology closer to the user’s fingertips. For developers and service providers alike, this means an expansion of opportunities for devices, networks, and operators. And it also represents a major step forward in the ongoing effort to bring ultra-fast broadband to the consumer. Broadband speeds have continued to fall in recent years, with slower speeds due to both reduced use, and aging infrastructure contributing to the loss of some services. New technologies, such as the USB-based Quick Nottingex, have helped to accelerate the adoption of USB-powered devices for desktop and notebook computers, which is ideal for consumers who want access to broadband internet at […]
