5G phones to go mainstream in key markets in 2019: Qualcomm CEO

Any info on data speeds?

.... expect to pay through your nose (like in the quasi monopolised Japan) for a data rate you don't need, that will eat in mere days through your puni 3 GB monthly data quote. This is a scam, nothing else...

Through mmWave bands and advances in wireless and antenna technology, the industry expects 5G speeds to be capable of up to 10 GB per second, which is over 600 times faster than today’s fastest average LTE speeds in the United States.

5G will enable the fast connectivity needed for autonomous vehicles to make imperative split-second decisions instead of sending and receiving data to and from a server hundreds of miles away (resulting in a slower connection due to higher latency). That’s because 5G plans to deploy computing resources at the very edge of the network in cellular base stations and towers that connect cars via wireless signals.

Autonomous vehicles need to quickly gather and process information to make informed decisions. 5G aims to implement connectivity that allows vehicles to talk to (and learn from) each other and to the environment around them—even when they’re outside of line of sight.
