I thought 5G here meant Fifth Generation of mobile network and not 5 Ghz wifi. I don’t need a sim card to use wifi on 5 Ghz.

 

Is the private 5G network advertised by Amazon a kind of?

 

Put a sim card in that phone and use our 5th Gen mobile gears. This way you can use your private phone numbers in your private system and send emoji, texts, pictures and even use your phone as a phone to call other people in that private 5G network.

 

Is this new thing just about having a private 5 Ghz wifi or it’s about using phones in 5th Gen mobile communications through Amazon gears?


5G cellular, not 5GHz wi-fi.

Oddly, they are billing it as an augmentation to wi-fi, even though I believe in dense cities where fibre is rife, wi-fi will be a more feasible prospect, especially 802.11ax.

However, given how much cellular can scale, Amazon's "5G Cellular in a Box" solution may just be the thing the tips the ratios between both wi-fi and 5G being feasible in concentrated deployments, simultaneously.
