Nokia Networks Demonstrates 5G Mobile Speeds Running At 10Gbps Via 73GHz
Mark.JUK writes The Brooklyn 5G Summit appears to have provided a platform for Nokia Networks to demo a prototype of their future 5G (5th Generation) mobile network technology, which they claim can already deliver data speeds of 10 Gigabits per second using millimeter Wave (mmW) frequency bands of 73GHz. The demo also made use of 2×2 Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MIMO) links via single carrier Null Cyclic Prefix modulation and frame size of 100 micro seconds, although crucially no information about the distance of this demo transmission has been released and at 73GHz you'd need quite a dense network in order to overcome the problems of high frequency signal coverage and penetration.
your maths really really sucks. at 10gb per second you to 1.25 gigabytes per second or as the OP said, less than 2 seconds for his 2gig quota.
That's not all that frequency does! Reading this, "Low Intensity Electromagnetic Irradiation with 70.6 and 73 GHz Frequencies Affects Escherichia coli Growth and Changes Water Properties". So there are probably many unknown side effects that will start showing once this is in offices all over the place.
