AT&T rolls out 5G in NYC, but only for business at first

[ad_1] This represents the 21st city to have AT&T’s 5G network, although it’s far from complete. Right now, access is largely limited to millimeter wave 5G that’s very fast, but doesn’t reach far and rarely holds up indoors.

[ad_1] The six-seater is loaded with other tricks. You can use facial recognition to unlock the doors in addition to your phone or a key fob.

Apple buys the ‘majority’ of Intel’s smartphone modem business

[ad_1] The arrangement still gives Intel the ability to develop modems for computers, Internet of Things devices and self-driving cars.

This will let the chip designer focus on 5G in spaces where it “most closely aligns” with what its customers want. […]

US networks improved in early 2019 with help from 5G upgrades

[ad_1] The explanation could be a straightforward one. For the most part, carriers were in a rush to either launch their 5G networks or expand what little 5G service they had.
