5G Collaboration – Who Benefits?
Many of us have only just got used to 4G but discussions have already started about how to harmonise the next generation of telecommunications standards (5G) to connect billions of devices wirelessly and using fibre optic technology for enhanced speed and reliability. The European Union and China have signed a co-operation accord to collaborate in the development and roll out of 5G technology.
Why the hurry? It just might be that 4G technology is based on Qualcomm technology and there is a common interest in Europe and China in ceasing to pay license fees to Qualcomm. Watch this space.
