I made this post this morning, and I'd like to make a followup: https://functional.cafe/@loke/105813174834542090
I'd like to ask people here if anyone know of a good use-case for 5G. Something that would be an actual, measurable improvement compared to today.
So far I have only heard a single one, and that is that supposedly latency will be much better, making online gaming possible. What kind of latency can I expect to see?
Other than the ability to play fortnite on mobile (which, as far as I understand, people already do?), in what way is 5G actually going to be real gamechanger on the level of what marketing is claiming it will be?
@syntax @joacim I've heard that argument before, but I don't understand it. I was about to mention this in my original post, and I probably should have, since it touches on one of my main issues with the benefits that are often raised.
The way I see it, for the self-driving car scenario to become reality, you'd have to either blanket the road networks with 5G towers (not going to happen outside countries like Monaco, I think?), or your are going to need a fallback when there is no no coverage. And if you have a working fallback, then where is the benefit of 5G?
