Posted by msmash on from the up-next dept.

Intel, along with Dell, HP, Lenovo, and Microsoft said Thursday that the companies expect the first 5G Windows PCs to become available during the second half of 2019. From a report: That's about the same time that Intel plans to begin shipping its XMM 8000 commercial modems, marking the company's entrance into the 5G market. Intel will show off a prototype of the new 5G connected PC at Mobile World Congress show in Barcelona. In addition the company will demonstrate data streaming over the 5G network. At its stand, Intel said that it will also show off eSIM technology -- the replacement for actual, physical SIM cards -- and a thin PC running 802.11ax Wi-Fi, the next-gen Wi-Fi standard.

    The 5G shit they are releasing next year is just LTE Advanced Pro being sold as "5G". Just like the scams cellular carriers were pulling with calling later generations of HSPA "4G". Real 5G won't be hitting the mass market till around the 2020's

    This, like Qualcomm's version is Fake 5G. 5G hasn't been locked down yet. It hasn't even been submitted to IMT yet.
