We have 3 big 5g news updates from AT&T’s 5G this week. They seem to be the front runner for the next gen network with a very organized and aggressive expansion model. I have talked about the benefits, Upgrades and all-encompassing human evolution that will come with AT&T’s 5G network many times already. This news update about AT&T’s 5G network is very exciting as we track the progression and implementation. Let’s take a look at what they got for us.
New Cities
We already know AT&T’s 5G rollout will include Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Indianapolis, Oklahoma City, Raleigh and Waco. However just today AT&T announced the remaining cities to receive mobile 5G through the end of 2018. Congratulations, Houston, Jacksonville, Louisville, New Orleans and San Antonio. This makes a total of 12 major US cities to get the next gen network this year. On top of that, the company also revealed cities that would receive the service in early 2019: Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Nashville, Orlando, San Diego, San Francisco and San Jose. As a central FL resident I’m super stoked to be able to be an early adopter of AT&T’s 5G network.
Data Transmission
Second up in the update is that The company is stating that they are also exploring a new millimeter wave for 5G; AT&T was successful in making the first millimeter wave wireless 5G connection using standards-based production equipment. The company is planning on utilizing the 5G technology in densely populated areas; it can deliver high speeds under varying conditions.
AT&T’s 5G AirGig
Lastly we have Project AirGig. AT&T also has an update on Project AirGig,. AirGig Is how AT&T will deliver 5G to rural users. No longer will high speed connections be just for the urban markets. It uses various types of technology, such as low-cost plastic antennas, mounted on top of existing infrastructure, such as utility poles. The company is now ready to begin testing and building commercial-grade equipment for Project AirGig.
The Final Thought
Everyday its gets more real, These updates to AT&T’s 5G network are huge advancements and great indicators we are almost there. AT&T’s AirGig idea shows us the prior failures of previous network upgrades won’t be experienced again. I know it won’t be a perfect rollout but it looks like it will be swifter and easier than in the past.
