dbMarketing, GbMarketing, 5G Marketing. And Kettles calling Pots Black
Quite awhile back I wrote a post on antennas db Myth/Marketing.
Db Marketing … a pun on dBi, dBd, as gain factors in antennas.
Gb (Gb/s) Marketing … 600 Mb/s max on a tower vs maybe 60 Mb/s to a user on a busy tower. 1200 Mb/s maybe 120 Mb/s to a user? Still an improvement over 10 to 20 Mb/s. It may be marketing, when saying something is 5G Evolution, but the improvements are like Super LTE. You can compare LTE, LTE Advanced, 600M LTE-A, and 1200M LTE Advanced Pro. These are big upgrades / improvements. Enough that Qualcomm Chipsets are made, that LTE Modem Modules are made that support them.
Similarly, now, we have Gb Marketing and “G” (5G) Marketing as this article alludes to:
https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/21/18151764/att-5g-evolution-logo-rollout-fake-network
“FierceWireless guesses that “potentially millions” of people could see the new logo, with AT&T’s 5G Evolution network available in over 400 markets by the end of 2018. Given that real 5G will be rare and limited for the next year or more, this tiny little branding change could lead to a great deal of misunderstanding around the state of the next-generation wireless technology.”

Just look up “T-Mobile LTE Advanced Pro” …
and you will see that T-Mobile has also deployed LTE Advanced Pro and License Assisted Access (LAA.) That’s the kettle calling the pot black. They may not be putting a “5G E” logo in phones … but they are doing transition upgrades to their network including LTE Advanced Pro.
They will have their marketing battles, and T-Mobile might just be a faster network than AT&T … but … but … but …
“But as counterintuitive as it may seem, the continued buildout of 5G networks over the next two years may mean that you’ll get the best overall experience from a new 4G phone that takes advantage of “4.9G” LTE Advanced and Pro technology. Carriers will light up 5G in cities only after receiving necessary local approvals and installing enough hardware to be “citywide” or close.
A 5G revolution is definitely coming, but until the 5G towers appear where you work and live, you won’t see the truly game-changing improvements in speed or latency for yourself. Until then, I’d suggest you make the most of 4G, which will surprise many people by actually getting better with age.”
Don’t necessarily need a rugged modem? See AER-2200
If you don’t necessarily need ruggedized … see the AER-2200 (link next below.) More LAN ports for inside computers and devices, and 4 of them provide PoE (good for WiFi Access Points) power for devices over Ethernet cabling. Also this is $100 less than the ruggedized one. Cloud Management and Factory Tech Support is include with both models.
AER-2200 … Can also be FirstNet (First Responders) Band 14 configured
1 embedded 4G LTE-A 600M Modem
Takes 2nd FirstNet or 4G LTE-A Standard Modem
Some vehicles don’t need a rugged modem (Communications Command Truck?)
Some marine vessels don’t need a ruggged modem (large Motor Yachts.)
Command Site on Land (Police / Fire Station), Business Office, Branch Locations, Remote Site, Stores …
But you would like more LAN ports for inside computers and devices …
You would like PoE for Power over Ethernet devices like WiFi Access Points …
Switchable LAN <-> WAN ports in case you have more Internet sources …
