Description
The 5G Myth: A New Vision for Global Connectivity In this thought-provoking book, William Webb challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding the next generation in mobile telephony. He argues that the promised benefits of 5G are overstated and sets out an alternative vision for a connected future based on consistent connectivity everywhere. Webb examines the transitions through previous generations of mobile telephony, using simple extrapolations to predict what might happen with 5G. He questions whether the increases in speed and capacity promised by 5G are truly necessary, and whether the required technology is available. The book also explores the business case for deploying 5G and why the industry appears so supportive of it. Webb proposes a more compelling vision: consistent connectivity of around 10Mbits/s everywhere, delivered via a mix of 4G and Wi-Fi. This approach offers a more practical and cost-effective solution than the hype surrounding 5G.
