No, it doesn't.
5G Cells have much shorter ranges, thus less distance to travel.

To a point. And to be fair MIMO gets deployed in even 4G scenarios.
Radio Spectrum is still a finite resource at the end of the day... And sometimes the bottleneck lays elsewhere like the backhaul, some towers are fed by far more limited Microwave for instance, especially in more regional/rural areas.

Weather is always an issue.
Not all weather is just clouds and raindrops.
| fatslob-:O said: Don't need another device, just need to have a baseband technology supplier (in Vita's case it was a MDM6200 from Qualcomm) and a RF antenna module supplier (Broadcom supplied Vita's RF antenna modules) integrated into the chipset just like the Vita's 3G SKU ... |
The modem is another "device".
| fatslob-:O said: Smaller cell size doesn't necessarily correlate to lower bandwidth. It mostly correlates with the size of the antenna arrays which are also dependent on the radio frequencies. A cell built for 24 GHz frequency will naturally have smaller individual antenna elements compared to a cell built for the 1 GHz frequency ... |
Never said it does correlate with lower bandwidth though?
| fatslob-:O said: Rollout for 5G NR will definitely be a bigger challenge compared to LTE but it can be made a lot more manageable if mobile network service operators don't opt-in to deploy mmWaves like we are seeing with early 5G deployments in the US with AT&T or Verizon ... |
I look forward to the 5G rollout. We already had the largest and fastest 3G networks in the world, which turned into one of the largest and fastest 4G networks in the world, so if that happens with 5G as well, I will be extremely happy.
My phone already can pull down 90Mbps over 4G on an average day, so greatness awaits.
