Re: Vodafone on 5G
@Areilla - Lol, I'm sure my husband is just as grateful. Everything has to have a first, but it's kind of nice when that first follows along with tradition and those that have gone before us. I really do wonder what the true quality was like though. I know now, with our current technology, even most communications between us and Asia comes with a lag. My brother is in Japan and I have yet to have been able to talk to him without at least a slight lag. I have to wonder if 5G will fix that lag.

Re: Watson!
Frankly, I'm more excited about SpaceX's Starlink satellites getting into space and testing out their communications capabilities.

If SpaceX can get thousands of these microsatellites up... we'll have some REAL competition for broadband service.

Re: Vodafone on 5G
LOL @elizabeth so for the sake of your marriage, perhaps it's best that you weren't directly involved. Yes, we have a lot of firsts that are not necessarily that different in experience from what went on before but still make use of new tech that prove its viability.

Re: Vodafone 5G First Call
It's all about that interoperability! We are seeing it in the U.S. but I wish we could see companies like Huawei partner with U.S. companies not only to drive innovation but help the U.S. catch up to the Asian and European countries that are seeming to stretch their lead in the telco market.

Re: Vodafone on 5G
@srufolo1:

I hear what you are saying. I agree that it could be the whole call experience as well as their ability to pull it to this point, which i am sure they consider as an accomplishment.

Unfortunately on experience, we can only go by what we hear about speed and latency. What they revealed appear to be promising.

Re: 5G Test
@afwriter:

Good point. It may take atleast another year for them to plan any kind of rollout. What they just did was their trial run.

That way AT&T is ahead in this game.

Re: Vodafone on 5G
@srufolo1 - Maybe the excitement with the phone call centered more around the historic precedent than the actual ability of the call itself. As a history buff I probably would have been really excited to be a part of the call, even if it ended up feeling like the exact same quality as a 4G phone call. I would probably relive the experience to my husband so often he became sick of me telling it.

Vodafone Makes First 5G Call
Though not the most exciting news, this is a great example of how Huawei is partnering with many companies to deliver 5G in many different ways.

Re: Vodafone on 5G
@afwriter Basically I'm thinking what's the big deal about a phone call? What made it different from any other phone call made with a regular iPhone? Maybe you just had to be there to experience it.
