Recorded September 7, 2020 by #NPTechClubATX 5G will not only affirm the critical role of mobility in our connected world but also expand it, laying the groundwork for a fourth industrial revolution. "This revolution will be powered by technologies like virtual reality, augmented reality, the Internet of Things, automation, advanced robotics and drones, among many others with the potential to remake virtually every facet of our society," notes Top Nonprofits (March 22, 2019). Current networks cannot always meet consumer demands for data. "During periods of heavy use, consumers may experience slow speeds, unstable connections, delays, or loss of service. The effects can range from annoyances like a streaming movie freezing to life-threatening transmission delays between first responders in an emergency." For instance, "in the health care sector, 5G could enable services such as remote patient monitoring, consultation, and even remote surgery. In transportation, 5G will be the backbone that autonomous vehicles rely on. A 2017 study from Deloitte estimated, 'self-driving cars enabled by wireless connectivity could reduce emissions by 40-90%, travel times by nearly 40% and delays by 20%.'” "The Importance of 5G from the Senate RPC," June 27, 2019. John Bratcher is Government Account Manager at T-Mobile. He is a strong believer that information is power. "I work on a daily to show businesses and nonprofits how to utilize telecommunication solutions to decrease their operating cost and increase efficiency." Please join us for the timely discussion about 5G!

Over the next 6 years our capacity will
increase 14x over what we have today.
15xfaster
Our network will be 8x faster than current
LTE in just a few years, and 15x faster in the
next 6 years — with about 450 Mbps
nationwide average download speeds,
compared to around just 30–40 Mbps today.

10. 5G isn't replacing 4G any time soon. In fact, 5G is additive
and will coexist and work with the 4G LTE network.
▪ 3GPP standards allow dual connectivity, which supports
tight interoperability with current 4G networks.
▪ 5G capable phones can use both 4G and 5G technology.
