The lowest latency links right now are already wireless point to point links.
Comment on Wi-Fi 7 Signals the Industry’s New Priority: Stability
highenergyphysics@lemmy.world 8 months agoBack when 5G cellular was first rolling out, a professor brought in a Qualcomm senior level manager and the topic was how 6G was being developed for long distance low latency capabilities.
How much of that was industry bullshit, no idea but it sounds like they had a pulse on the tech now that we hear about it years later.

Care to elaborate or point to a reliable source?

And 5G is mostly ass anyway. I feel like LTE is faster and EASILY more reliable everywhere I am. If I lose power at my house, I can barely send text only messages in any app.

I am using LTE mostly because it always works and is plenty fast for what I need to do on a mobile device. 5G also uses more battery too.

What phone are you using? My first 5G phone didn’t support midband 5G, and yeah, my experience was similar. Lowband 5G was maybe slightly faster than LTE, but wasn’t worth the lower battery life, higher heat, and spottier performance that was associated with early 5G radios.
Now I’ve got a phone with midband 5G support and midband 5G kicks the shit out of LTE.
