If you ’ve ever thought that 4 gm was a little wearisome for your care , not to fear — everyone ’s best-loved federal communications governor has got your back . The FCC hasissued a statementsaying that it ’s look into using crack - high - frequency radio spectrums for future nomadic broadband web .
The FCC program line says that previous limitation on uses of 24GHz ( and above ) spectrum are rapidly being removed by technological advancement , and as such the use of high frequencies for data transmission should be re - evaluated :
“ By using innovative engineering that can at the same time pass over and learn multiple signals reflecting and ricocheting off obstacles in the physical environment , future devices might be able to leverage much in high spirits frequency bands , those above 24GHz , for mobile applications . This technology could theoretically dramatically increase wireless broadband speeds and throughput – up to 10 Gbit per second . ”
The final result is that the next generation of roving networks , whenever that turns out to land , might see data transmission speeds an order of magnitude quicker than 4 G , and , if that 10 gigabit number turns out to be more than virgin conjecture , quicker than pretty much all cabled internet .
Interestingly , this follows hot on the heels of news show thatGoogle is trialling uses of the 2GHz spectrum , perhaps for use in some kind of wireless mesh . That information was revealed in an FCC filing , so it ’s eminently possible that technical school companies are already collaborating with the FCC on using gamey - frequency spectrum for 5 g-force , whatever that turns out to be . Now , if they could just check that I could get a solid 3 gibibyte connection when I ’m trying to stream music on the highway , all would be well in the world . [ FCCviaThe Register ]
