         Hey what's up guys,

           Welcome to Tech Beyond today’s topic 5G. So let’s get started.

            The past couple months of individuals getting taken to Chicago to check 5g and doing of these crazy speed tests on the other hand I began to notice all of them kind of have a few things in common but really it had been just getting me interested by the entire thing so I bought a 5g phone. What is 5g well we all have 4G now 5g is the fifth generation of wireless network technology and so all the big carriers are working on building out their 5g networks right now Verizon AT&T Sprint we're all working on 5g the main theme of 5g is again speed every new generation of the wireless networks are significantly faster and more capable than the previous some of you may remember the old and very slow to G and 3G and how much better 4G is than those 5g represents another step forward so to take advantage of 5g you need a 5g device with 5g radios and a 5g network so for me that's the galaxy s 10 5g and its Verizon who's building up their 5g network in certain cities one location at a time so you can't just get a software update to a 4G phone to just enable 5g that's right I'm talking to you AT&T changing people's status bars to say 5G when it's really just 4G it's stupid it's basically a lie you're kind of trying to trick people into thinking they got 5G is not 5g it's still 4G it's really shame anyway 5g is built on what's called millimetre waves it's a new section of very high frequency spectrum upwards of 20 gigahertz all the way to near 96 gigahertz but the is the higher the frequency of any wave the lesser the range like that's just the truth on paper so for the same reason five gigahertz Wi-Fi doesn't travel as far as 2.4 gigahertz Wi-Fi the same reason microwaves don't cook things on the other side of the glass wall that's the same reason 5g doesn't travel as well through the real world so millimetre waves biggest problem is that even if you're standing pretty close to the node like a couple hundred feet away it only really travels well within direct line-of-sight so things like trees and walls and buildings block and disrupt the high frequency signal albeit you are still on the brink of it.

                          We found it by finding one of these this is a 5g node or three nodes to be specific at the top of a light pole you could tell because it said Verizon right the pole and since if you stand right next thereto with a 5g phone in your hand and run a speed test the results are just absolutely ridiculous the 4G and the notification bar switches to indicate 5g and you open up your app of choice and run a speed test and I'm seeing easy seven hundred eight hundred nine hundred often well above a thousand megabits per second download highest result you could almost use your whole data cap in a minute dreamlike speeds very nice. Pretty big difference to basically cut your speed in half just by walking a few meters down the block. It was frustratingly inconsistent even once I did have a line of sight with maybe a tree or two kind of nearby my phone would drop 5g then jump back on again I think it's seated in the notification bar it would drop back to 5g and then back to 4G. We know it basically just putting tons of nodes everywhere the place so essentially to maximise coverage and improve technologies in order that once you move behind one obstacle or sort of drive through a city you actively switch between nodes that you're connected to kind of like we do now with 4G towers but just much faster.

                            I think that's the part that kind of scares people it seems like a brute-force way to actually go fixing the problem but that's the current plan is just blanket areas with these lower powered cells that let you switch between them very quickly instead of one giant 4G tower like you have now my gut feeling is that an infrastructure where you cover a whole city and eventually a whole country in these little nodes is going to be incredibly expensive and doubtless take a really while like years so it's a long way off but here's another thing to notice even with me standing right next to a 5g node and holding a brand-new 2019 5g phone there were still some drawbacks to notice the main three are heat battery and upload so for one the upload appears to still be happening at 4G speed you want to connect it to 5g I never broke 100 megabits per second up in all my testing which is still a great speed but my dream of uploading an 8k YouTube video in like five seconds or going live streaming high resolution VR or something like that are not possible at all yet now you've probably also noticed the ping is still at 4G levels - the goal is to get this down to a millisecond or less but that isn't happening yet in these tests either and then heat and battery are something that this phone appeared to specifically suffer. 

                      I was testing I started my day when we got to Providence with 75% battery did all my testing and that maybe took about four or five hours and once we finished i used to be at 21% battery and therefore the phone was consider the touch the entire time this is often why you see 5g versions of phones coming out almost always have a larger battery than their normal for G brothers including the Galaxy S 10 5 G and the phone getting warm during the testing.

                     

                    I wasn't even gaming or doing anything graphically intensive just watching some YouTube videos and download tests was a little concerning so the bottom line 5g is like folding phones right now in 2019 clearly not ready yet but when you use it and you get just the right use case and you're at just the right space you get this amazing little glimpse into the future that you wish was ready for right now because it's so great but it's not and currently the cons sort of outweigh the pros. The future of 5g is really bright assuming you know the infrastructure happens and isn't too obtrusive and that's a big assumption but then we're talking virtual reality streaming and networks of autonomous cars that are all internet connected and talking to each other and maybe even think about remote surgery with a 5g connected robot in one country with a doctor over here and a patient in another country and everything just working seamlessly like all this super high-bandwidth.
