Yes, 2G/3G will be decommissioned because of 5G so now we're stuck with the clusterfuck that is IMS/VoLTE/VoNR/VoWiFi

It only really benefits people living in densely populated areas like shown in your map. LTE-A especially category 8 capable towers have no problem handling hundreds of simultaneous connections at the same time for 10+ miles. The problem is in places like new york where buildings go up many many floors up, you actually have like 1000+ people per square mile. That's where 5G comes in.

Actually if you nuked all these places on your map, I'd say humanity would probably go extinct. It's quite amusing to know that you don't have to nuke EVERY square inch of this god forsaken planet to wipe out human life.

5G Phy is almost indistinguishable from LTE advanced pro. Most of the meaningful changes is stuff like IPSEC everywhere which LTE lacked, better handover security since LTE just sent keys unencrypted over the air, and now more noitceable since it's finally being deployed better latency in channel access and retransmits on error because of DU-CU function splitting.
>>107015555
Most of the time when your phone says "LTE" it's still connected to a 5G network with a 5G core and 5G radio. Your phone has two modems one for the large number of LTE bands (that are also all 5G bands now) and one for 5G bands that are explicitely 5G and all of higher frequency. Most of the time these higher frequency bands suck or are pointless to use so the tower tells your phone to go to the lower 5G bands because it doesn't want to use more power usually. Your phone displays LTE because it's using its LTE modem in the PHY.

The china part is interesting. Didn't know they had regional disparities like that. Makes sense though.
Also what's going on in India?

>>107015895
80% of the population is in the east
That line you see that seems to split the population is basically down to the fact that part of the country is a shithole in terms of weather, extremely dry and tornado prone.
Farther west from that and it's mountainous which keeps the population density down until you get to the west coast.

What we really need is FOSS firmware / baseband devices that are in control of the user. We also need more granular privacy controls.
>>107016559
>what's going on in India
It just shows that 5G rollout there is relatively recent starting in 2023 or newer. Overall this isn't a big surprise to me because a lot of countries, especially developing ones didn't have a huge landline infrastructure so they just drop in wireless stuff because its easier when you're dealing with jungles or designated shitting streets to just put up an antenna somewhere rather than letting some moron trying to slash and burn agriculture cut whatever new fiber optic lines you're putting in the ground or they get raped by monsoon season or whatever.

What's wrong with this? I got a phone call using this shit for the first time and I couldn't believe how nice it sounded.
>>
>>107017334
Is this pedantic faggotry? What exactly is your malfunction? Any cell site/tower utilizes an antenna, receivers etc and backhaul can either be fiber or wireless depending. The point was that it was easier to develop a wireless system in complex areas without preexisting infrastructure instead of trying to shit out fiber to the perimeter or the like, which is a big reason that wireless internet came first to a lot of poorer countries that didn't already have large amount of wired telecom and especially Internet infrastructure

openRAN is dead because "AI RAN" (Machine learning for power, resource, and channel/antenna allocation) actually works and demonstrates actual significant improvement for the first time in an entire generation of cellular networks. There are open source baseband / basestation drivers and software right now (dragonOS) but it doesn't do much in the way of helping end users. Cellular networks are entirely controlled by the network and not the devices accessing the network for good reasons.

I live close to the eastern seaboard, but slightly inland and even here there is very poor 4G reception, but also its very rural and has a low population density. If you go even further inland, the population density drops even more. There's no infrastructure because nobody lives there.

>>107017499
Yes, part of being first world is efficient allocation of capital which is why we aren’t building 5g towers in an empty desert.
>>
>>107017499
Majority of Australia is not inhabited, half the country is barren desert, the rest is dense bush that catches fire every few years. Majority of the population is in dense centres along the coast, with smaller towns and settlements strung between them, and the odd extremely remote community dedicated to mining opals or some shit

Your phone can call and send SMS without an internet connection retard.

It's all nigger technology, 99.999% of wireless data is used by normgroids to talk to other normgroids about dumb normgroid shit.

I have schizophrenic thought about this. What do you think — should we, in the near future, expect zones or grades separated by allocated frequencies for medical devices? As biochip technology advances, is it possible that people could enjoy a better quality of life in areas with higher-quality allocated frequency zones than in higher economic class ones? Something such as Ghetto in old nazis style...

There are no described mechanisms that support these conclusions, there are no self consistent models that predict any of these outcomes outside of a vacuum and in fact these "academics" have even started admitting that internet schizos have much better models and reasoning than them. The reality is the answers for why blacks always produce these outcomes has nothing to do with what academics think simply because they have been contractually instructed to not think any other way. The last people I would listen to on any social topics are subwits and midwits who have studied the social topics for their entire lives because quite literally none of them can reason about the issues they pretend to study in any depth. For academia it's all just posturing for government gibsmedats.

Not sure why you guys are legitimately so retarded but if you look at OP's map it's basically every well developed country has the infrastructure. People living in the middle of Africa or dogshit south american countries have a lot bigger issues than the network of their phone. Even in the Middle East the places that actually matter all have 5G and countries like the US, Canada, Northern Europe, AU all follow population density.

You can make use of OpenRAN including open "AI RAN" capabilities if there's desire to do so; it seems there's ample ability to do so within the 5G era. https://www.5g-networks.net/openran-o-ran-for-5g-explained/

>open source baseband, drivers etc , DragonOS
Yeah, DragonOS is neat for SDR usage, but you're right as far as mobile/5G is concerned there's very little; that's what needs to change. A given flagship Android device (I know there is no fucking hope for Apple) should not require proprietary, separate firmware and drivers for the baseband as a binary blob. Nearly all of them are entirely locked down, so no wonder people worry about security concerns. It would still be up to the network to manage the requirements for connecting and the like, but users could have some faith in the security and privacy by being able to view and verify what was going on, as well as (for those that wish it) better understanding of implementation. Of course, this should go alongside FOSS support for the rest of the hardware powering the phone ideally, but that's a wider discussion. Overall though, openness is likely to benefit not just users, but the network providers through interoperability and standardization, though it does mean getting around profiteering lockdown garbage advocated by some.
