News Highlights: MediaTek is finally entering the mmWave 5G race
MediaTek has finally unveiled its first mmWave compatible 5G modem. While the technology is most popular here in the United States (where it’s also a bit useless), carriers continue to defend the incredible speeds while easily overlooking the many limitations. But soon, you may also enjoy losing that super-fast connection when crossing the street on a MediaTek phone.
I’m kidding, but the benefits of mmWave are really exaggerated, especially in this pandemic era. One of the few real advantages is in places like huge auditoriums or stadiums where low band congestion can be a problem due to the sheer number of phones. The added frequencies, limited range, and high directionality are downright bonuses there, even if it still doesn’t help you much at home.
