What is Non-Cellular 5G for IoT?
2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G are well known acronyms for labeling generations of cellular technology. These have been approved by ITU-R (ITU Radiocommunication) as part of each generation. The ITU Radiocommunication Sector ensures rational, equitable, efficient and economical use of the radio-frequency spectrum by all radiocommunication services. They carry out studies and adopt recommendations on […]
How AT&T’s 5G Network is Contributing to the Department of Defense
AT&T has been implementing 5G service and showcasing its benefits in different areas. Most recently they demonstrated how a Naval “Smart Warehouse” could be created using a variety of 5G-powered technology solutions. During demonstrations, the team working on the project found AT&T’s private 5G network delivered data throughput speeds of 3.9 gigabits per second. The […]
Providing Service During Natural Disasters – How AT&T is Testing 5G on Drones
For the past few years, AT&T has provided cellular coverage at disaster sites around the U.S. They run the network behind FirstNet, a service for first responders. When their services are needed they typically provide this via trucks called COWs (cell on wheels). In the more recent years, the carrier expanded to using a fleet […]
