Do you know how much of Gbit a driveless car will need

A gigabit connection is many multiples faster than wifi is, therefore wouldnt be seen as a limiter for most consumers.

[hpcg] 10/9/2018 15:26

5G is limited to 1Gbit - 1GbE was standard on a server 15 years ago, and Fibre channel is and always has been better than anything else; copper will just about do 10GbE. Domestic fibre is artificially limited by cost to the user, not by the inherent technology. For those already connected fibre will be priced cheaper because it is paid for sunk cost.

A glimpse of the future -

HPCG

For what i have read fibre wont be used after 5g takes over you wont need a phone line , or a tv Ariel or sky dish , mind you will never be any better off finacialy they will know how to charge.

Cant buy another 30k online now

[rubberbullets] 10/9/2018 14:28

I think it will replace because capacity is so much better as is speed

Anyway im in for the exciting ride. Roll on 50p

[hpcg] 10/9/2018 14:23

5G won't replace fibre as such I don't think; could be wrong domestically, but it isn't adequate for business, but it will displace new domestic fibre installations. It will keep a lid on fibre pricing for those already connected providing genuine competition. Lots of advantages for all concerned, but as much as anything a lot of simplification. Instead of having a wired up home router one can have that subcontracted to the street. Much more convenient for renters and for the less tech savvy for example.

From recent RNS news they have received follow on orders of $1.1m in a month - scaled up would be $12m per annum for their new product. But note caution of the statement.

[weatherman] 10/9/2018 14:18

BBB is going over to fixed 5G links - they are trialling them with government grants.

[rubberbullets] 10/9/2018 14:12

A sharp move like this should be picked up by papers tomorrow.

maybe Mail and then Whoosh! Could open up 5p

[middlesboroughfc] 10/9/2018 13:50

FTC is going to make all the satellite operators redundant like Blu as you can have small 5G cells. Meanwhile FTC is the place to be imho

More mention of Nokia and Verizon working together..

Verizon, Nokia mark OTA data transmission on commercial 5G network in D.C.

Verizon and Nokia this week completed what they’re describing as the first over-the-air, end-to-end data transmission on a commercial 3GPP 5G New Radio (NR) network in Washington, D.C., using commercially deployed Nokia radio gear.

The feat was done using the non-standalone (NSA) core, and the significance of it is it’s the first transmission of this nature using commercial equipment in a field environment and not in a lab, according to Verizon spokesman John O'Malley.

But don’t read anything into the fact it was done in Washington, D.C., which is where a previous milestone also was accomplished. “We're testing our network and infrastructure equipment all the time. This demonstration was another test on our way to bringing mobile 5G service to market,” he told FierceWirelessTech.

In other words, Verizon is testing 5G flavors in multiple markets, and there’s no imminent announcement that D.C. will be among the first 5G markets to go 5G mobile. Verizon’s fixed residential broadband 5G offering is targeting four markets this year: Sacramento, Los Angeles, Houston and Indianapolis.

The D.C. transmission used Verizon’s millimeter wave spectrum (28 GHz) and 5G network core and a Nokia test van parked in downtown Washington. It was done as part of their ongoing work leading up to commercial 5G mobile service launches in 2019.

These two increasingly have been on the move. Last month, the two companies completed the transmission of a 3GPP NR 5G signal to a receiver located in a moving vehicle. That transmission took place at Nokia’s Murray Hill, N.J., campus. Another demo was done in D.C. in July showing fixed 5G service to lawmakers.

“The cadence and frequency of these significant milestone achievements from Verizon and Nokia show just how quickly we’re taking the promise of 5G technology from the lab to the field and to the marketplace where our customers will ultimately use this revolutionary technology,” said Bill Stone, vice president for technology development and planning for Verizon, in a statement. “We said Verizon will be first to 5G, and our latest milestone moves us closer to fulfilling that promise.”

And of course the important thing with shares like ZOO, IQE from 2016-late 2017, and hopefully FTC, is that they will always look expensive, often mentally so. Because what they are doing is technically breaking into blue sky but also operationally breaking into a business that is huge but relatively unquantifiable.

[middlesboroughfc] 10/9/2018 13:28

Yeah!!
Just watch what happens to the price when they announce a £10-£15m contract,. It would double overnight because that could be just the start

[angus17] 10/9/2018 13:25

hadn't picked up on the fibre potential. hmmmmmmm

[middlesboroughfc] 10/9/2018 13:09

Indeed mad, missed Zoo not making same mistake here, went from 10p to 100p straight up

FTC looking fascinating with news that Verizon are working on assumption 5G will not just replace 4G, but also fibre. Potentially HUGE market

[mad foetus] 10/9/2018 13:01

If you want to have a look at the sort of price action that can follow a HTF, ZOO is worth looking at. Bamboo called that last year at about 20p if I recall. I think I bought at 27p and sold at 36p about a week later, planning to buy in on a pullback...

[middlesboroughfc] 10/9/2018 12:53

chestnut

your expectation of 23p this afternoon is bang on money
ratio of buys to sells is 2:1 since 10am
Rising on high volume.
