The G2 on 5G Podcast – Episode 111 – August 5th, 2022In this episode of The G2 on 5G, Anshel and Will Cover:1. Dish launches Boost Infinite as second postpaid 5G service - how will it complement its Project Genesis offering and is it a way to leverage the prepaid business sinking ship?2. Will Dish walk away from T-Mobile's 800MHz spectrum? What could this mean for Dish and T-Mobile customers?3. Semtech announces its intention to acquire Sierra Wireless - can the tie up compete with 5G based IoT network deployments?4. The 2.5 GHz auction is slowing down, T-Mobile looks like the likely bidder for the vast majority of licenses (5,858 single bidder, 1,997 had multiple bidders in round 9), two more bidding rounds are expected today5. Could Reliance Jio launch its 5G service just days after Indian spectrum auctions?6. Helium claims it has a new 5G network, using 4G CBRS, and PC Mag's Sascha Segan also finds that coverage isn't as good as they claim

The term 5G has been the talk of the town. Much of the hype is due to its faster internet speed that allows the handling of multiple devices compared with previous networks. Recently, some countries have started to roll out this technology. However, it's still in its early years, so we have yet to discover its full potential.  In this episode, we'll hear insights from Ed Knapp, Sue Marek, and Sascha Segan on the topic of wireless network connection. We discuss the development of the wireless industry and how internet infrastructure spurred its growth. We also go through the generations of wireless network connection, from 2G to 4G, and peer into how the development of 5G will unfold.  If you want to know more about next-generation wireless networks and how technology develops to support them, then this episode is for you. Episode Highlights[01:07] The Beginning of Wireless Technology Wireless technology was introduced during the 80s. It was then that Ed Knapp started to see the emergence of innovative technologies like the car phone.  Demand for wireless services was limited because wireless devices and services were expensive. No one expected them to have more than a million subscribers in the US.  The technology had tremendous value, even life-saving for some. And so, Knapp wanted more people to access it.  By the 90s, people were trying to join analog modems to the cellular network so more people could connect to the internet. But it was too difficult to get them connected. One company couldn't overcome this challenge alone. More help was needed to create massive infrastructure networks necessary to solve this problem.  [04:21] Diverging of Paths: Internet and Wireless The wireless industry developed at the same time as internet infrastructure. As they grew, demand for their service also increased.  There was an insatiable want for wireless service, and engineers needed to figure out how to create networks that could support it.  Cell towers are needed to connect cell phones to networks, but they are expensive to build. Companies, later on, decided to share the equipment instead of building their own.  [05:11] Opening the Wireless Network to an Independent Model When the iPhone entered the market, 4G traffic and operatives needed to increase their capacity.  The industry evolved into a point where telecom companies do not need to own all network infrastructure. Instead, independent companies started to manage the installed towers.  [06:53] Customer Complaints Customers had an issue with how they were being billed.  During this time, cell phone companies could get away with charging customers by the minute for their service by acting like they had limited capacity.  The same problem happened when text messaging emerged. Customers were still billed by the number of characters. The internet changed the game as it made sending information cheaper. Suddenly, it didn't make sense for people to be charged the same way again.  Because of this technological advancement, businesses were pressured to change their service and how they charged their clients.  [09:29] The ‘G'The G in 4G or 5G stands for “generation.” It refers to the phase of technology that is the industry standard.   Sue Marek: “Every generation of cellular [technology] is about every 10 years. So 2020 is 5G, 2010 was 4G, 2000 was really the 3G. 3G was really when we used to talk about the mobile web or the wireless internet.” One of the technological hurdles the 3G era faced was figuring out how to access the web through a phone. [12:06] Cell Phone Digitalization Technology took a huge leap when cell phones started to connect with wireless networks.  The digitalization of cell phone systems started during the 1990s. Multiple people could use the service of the same channel at the same time.  Sascha Segan: "Once

The White House’s $2 trillion infrastructure plan proposes $100 billion for broadband. Right now, however, it is hard to get broadband to big parts of this country unless the infrastructure is in space. Low-Earth-orbit satellite constellations could bring high-speed internet access to those areas. Elon Musk’s Starlink is the best known, but there are a few other companies in the mix. Starlink is in beta with about 10,000 users. “Marketplace Tech” host Molly Wood speaks with Sascha Segan, a lead analyst at PCMag who’s been following Starlink. She asked him who could benefit from this new version of satellite internet.
