Many ask.."Why?..But at what cost?"

5G++ is needed for "smart/AI" cities.

Think of IoT devices, vehicles, drones, eVTOL..etc.



    I also forgot Russia with its 144m population which was a huge win for Huawei, as operating in this country is very profitable for the company.

    The thing is.. Huawei and ZTE both have won the 5.5G race just like the 5G in 2019.. in which will make China easily win the 6G race in the next 5 years.

    I don't really see a bright future for Ericsson and especially Nokia, as these companies won contracts with the help from U.S. gov by sanctioning Chinese companies. Imagine no sanctions, you'd see Huawei EVERYWHERE!

Some in Africa and more than half of Asia countries are either using Huawei or ZTE networks and that includes (besides China) the whole Arabian gulf region, Iran, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia..

      Ericsson and Nokia networks are mainly used in North America, Europe and a few countries in Asia like in India and also partly in China.

          Strange in all other countries mainly in cities always deploys the latest technology from the best Nokia or Ericsson

            4G was already enough for general use, if the coverage is good. It's fast enough for 4K streaming. Don't know why companies are racing for higher and higher G, radiation is not a friendly thing for living beings. We don't need to download the data from satellites, so why

              A couple of years ago, I would joke that 5.5G would eventually be a thing in the future with my fellow Discord tech pals. Now, XIaomi and Oppo are now actually working on it.

                Is this 5.5G like software upgrade or does the device have to have hardware capability specific to this?

                  Artem S. Tashkinov, 01 Apr 20245gbit download, 163mbit upload? Whoa, that's really... moreActually 5GA optimize the upload because nowadays people do a lot of 2 way data such as streaming and video conference.

                  5GA have 10x more upload speed compared to 5G

                    They have 90% of 5G coverage with average around 300mbps-400mbps.

                      5gbit download, 163mbit upload?

                      Whoa, that's really sad. Never seen such a damning discrepency between upload and download speeds. I've seen 10 to 1 as the worst case scenario, but here we have 31 to 1.

                        Impresive.
                        China lucky that their 5.5G is not based on mmWaves.

                          But it is not applicable to entire world as it is only few in 5G sites. And mostly no signal to a nature adventure photo taking, uploading to social media will only get when your at home and it was late to upload
