5G is interesting. Guy I work with was in development at Verizon before joining my company. We talk tech a lot, since we are pretty much the only guys in the sales department with a deep technology understanding and experience.

The first half of 2019, the big issue with 5G was trying to get it to transmit through glass. Like office windows.

They could get great signal between two unobstructed transmitters and receivers, but put anything in between them, and the signal dropped to zero.

I'm sure 5G will come out. It'll be great. Wonderful. Capable. The Next Big Thing.

But there is no doubt the marketing is way ahead of the engineering.
