#4g spectrum

[yamimichi]

Currently in 4G hell.

Spectrum is doing "routine maintenance" and they're "sorry for any inconvenience".

Gee thanks Spectrum for cutting out our internet when I was playing FFXIV. At least I wasn't doing my roulettes. 🤬

Update: Internet came back a little while ago.

EE adds over 400 new small cells to increase 4G capacity and reduce congestion in the busiest areas

EE has now successfully deployed over 600 street-level mobile sites, known as small cells, across the UK, delivering on its commitment to add hundreds of new sites to the 200 announced just over one year ago. A further 411 small cell installations are now delivering enhanced capacity in high demand areas, including in major cities such as Birmingham, Brighton and Sheffield, ensuring customers can take advantage of download speeds of up to 300Mbps even at the busiest of times. Other new locations to benefit from EE’s ongoing small cells deployment include the cities of Swansea, Leicester, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Southampton and York. Meanwhile a host of seasonal hotspots have also received a timely connectivity boost ahead of the Summer, including Newquay, Paignton, Salcombe, Southend-on-Sea and Clacton-on-Sea. Small cells take advantage of existing street assets, such as BT’s iconic red telephone boxes, to help enhance street-level mobile coverage in busy areas where it’s impractical to build larger sites, such as city-centres and transport hubs. As well as being located on phone boxes, lamp posts and CCTV columns, EE has installed approximately 60 small cells on BT’s innovative new digital Street Hubs, further maximising the benefit of these assets to communities. EE’s 611 small cell sites currently carry 20TB of data traffic every day – the equivalent of streaming 8,000 hours of HD video or 280,000 hours of music – demonstrating the substantial value they offer to customers in high demand areas, as well as the importance of EE’s strategy to build prior to the arrival of any congestion whenever possible. Sites are identified via advanced network analytics, which highlights specific locations that would most benefit from the performance boost enabled by a small cell. Then, working alongside Nokia, EE deploys a 4G small cell solution which couples its licenced 1800MHz and 2600Mhz spectrum with unlicenced 5GHz spectrum to deliver standout speed and capacity.

James Hope, Director of Mobile Radio Access Networks, EE: “As demand for data continues to rise, small cells are becoming an increasingly integral part of our mobile network. Our partnership with Nokia ensures customers continue to benefit from our fastest 4G speeds even at the busiest times and in the most congested of locations, and we’re proud to pass another milestone in this project as we continue to invest in improving the UK’s best mobile network* up and down the country.” Mark Atkinson, SVP, Radio Access Networks PLM at Nokia: “Nokia has an extensive portfolio of high-capacity outdoor and indoor small cells that deliver premium 4G and 5G network performance in dense urban and in-building environments. This latest deployment will ensure that EE’s customers benefit from seamless connectivity particularly in congested or high-demand areas at multiple cities across the UK. We are delighted to continue our partnership with EE and support their ambition to deliver the country’s best network.” EE’s continued network investment will see hundreds more small cells deployed in the coming months, both in existing and new towns and cities. EE is also trialling the extension of small cells to accommodate its 5G network, with Nokia’s AirScale portfolio able to seamlessly upgrade to 5G. Last year, EE announced its first such small cell deployments, which brought additional 4G capacity to cities including Leeds, London, Manchester, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Nottingham and Scarborough. In Newcastle, EE has worked with the City Council to deploy over 20 small cells so far, making use of existing street furniture to boost capacity in busy locations including the city centre, Newcastle University, and in proximity to St James’ Park stadium. Cllr Alex Hay, Newcastle City Council cabinet member for a Resilient City: “We’re really pleased to be working with EE to improve infrastructure and increase digital connectivity across the city. Matchdays see more than 50,000 people concentrated in a small area, and anyone who has attended football matches and other large events will know it can be difficult to obtain a mobile signal in those environments. By enabling the use of our assets for EE to deploy small cells, we’re boosting connectivity and giving residents and visitors alike an improved experience in our city. We’re proud of our reputation as a leading smart, modern city and are always willing to work with others to further develop local infrastructure.” *Rankings based on RootMetrics® UK and metro RootScore® reports: H2 2022.

Honestly, on my trip to Yellowstone on a car trip, my aunt and mom had a arguments with my brother-in-law and sister about social mobility, inherited wealth, inequality etc. My aunt kept on saying that we didn't have anyone in our social circles who made it and became really wealthy; that's why we don't like the system. My mom kept giving the example of immigrants. My brother-in-law kept bringing up facts like there are structures in place that the capitalist class; getting a small loan of $50,000 from their parents those types of examples.

I had to point out that theses facts were not mutually excusive to one another; no person is an island. Just me being the peacekeeper in my fam.

Yesterday, I had to debunk my aunt 5G conspiracy theory's nonsense; its just basic electromagnetic spectrum science at the high school level. Asking just simple questions like: ok, if she has such a problem with 5G, why not with 4G or microwaves, or radio; all tech that she uses. Its non-ionizing radiation, so no it does not cause cancer!

Today is Not About 5G! Today is About 6G Technology? Really? "YES"

I know we are not still over with 5G technology! Now Immensphere is discussing 6G technology? Yes, it is about 6G technology today!

Okay! lets us go into the detail.

If you live in a country like India, Russia, or Mexico, you must be thinking, we haven’t even seen 5G yet, and you are talking about an overview of 6G technology. 

Yes, that is because 72 countries, such as South Korea, the USA, China and Japan, had already launched 5G back in 2019, and now the world is headed towards 6G, the next decade’s technology.

The upgradation in technology from 5G to 6G will be much higher and faster than what we saw in the transition from 4G to 5G.

To understand better about 6G, We have discusse about 5G also.

So 5G vs 6G

Low latency

5G: 5 milliseconds.

6G: 1 microsecond.

Speed

5G: 40 Up to 1,100 Mbps.

6G: Up to 1 Tbps. (1,000,000 Mbps)

Spectrum

5G: 0.4 GHz and 114 GHz.

6G: 95 GHz to 3 THz.

Does 6G Exist?

Currently, 6G is in its initial research and development stage.

Leading telecom companies like Samsung and Qualcomm are working on it and have published research on 6G.

Next is 7G Technology?

What we know is very little about 7G and are only speculations compared to the previous networks while knowing little about the division for 6G.

But we know, when G's technologies will be launched.

5G Technology has been launched in 2020.

6G Technology will be launched in 2030.

7G Technology will be launched in 2040.

*according to reports.

Whatever G's Technology comes out, it will make things super fast, instant, and everything will be just available without a moment. 

For now, Immensphere is signing off about 5G, 6G and 7G Technology!

(10-8-22 image ©gadgetstouse.com) Carrier aggregation is the technology that allows the mobile operator to combine a number of different carriers, frequencies if you wish, into a single aggregated wave. This technology has been available in 4G but it is difficult to implement in a real world situation.

BT or rather EE have a number of frequencies available in a similar part of the spectrum that they could use with this technology. They have available frequency in the range 2.1, 2.6, 3.4, 3.6 GHz. Some allocated for 3g, some 4G and some 5G. They have demonstrated carrier aggregation over these frequencies first in the lab and then out in a trial. Maybe not the first do do this or something similar but a step forward.

Whilst Carrier aggregation is good, it does indicate that fewer wider bands would be better than more narrower bands. Something OfCom will need to sort out.

Why eSIM is my new best friend

Data roaming fees are my enemy.

Alternative title: How and why to install an eSIM to save money on data roaming fees when overseas. Especially useful if you have an iPhone 14 with no SIM Tray.

I’ll keep this brief. People travelling overseas often fall into two categories:

1. Pay whatever your phone carrier lots of $$ for data roaming 🤑💸  2. Buy a local SIM card at the airport or downtown after arriving 🤓🏙

The first is easy, but costly. The second is sensible, but can be time consuming.

There’s a much better option that now exists; and middle-ground that is easy enough, and cheap enough, that you should consider.

As of 2022, every new iPhone and lots of medium or high end Android phones support my new best friend:

3. eSIM. Buy data online, in-app, before even arriving at your overseas destination. Keep your SIM in the slot. No payment to my enemy (data roaming fees) 🤩🤳

There’s lots of ways to do this, but if you’re reading now from the departure lounge of an airport or train station and want to dive right in, here’s my recommendation:

Search the App Store or Google Play Store for the Airalo app

Choose your data pack (1GB for $5 USD or 10GB for $18USD)

Follow instructions to install

Activate eSIM when you’ve arrived at your destination

🌟 Optional Bonus: receive a $3 USD sign-up credit by using this link to register, or type my referral code in the app: JEREMY0461

I also get a $3 credit when you use this link, but that’s not why I’m recommending this to you. There are lots of ways to buy eSIMs (in other apps, or in stores using printed QR codes), but personally this is the best I’ve used so far.

If there’s apps or services you find easier or cheaper, do let me know!

Airalo accepts Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal or regular credit card payment.

The best part of using an eSIM when travelling? You can leave your regular SIM in your phone, using it for phone calls (if you wish), iMessage, or any other service.

No more forcing your SIM behind your phone case so you don’t lose it when you get back home.

With Airalo’s signup referral credit, you can buy a 1GB pack for $2 USD to test the service out before committing to a larger purchase.

Eventually, every SIM will be an eSIM. But for now, they’re a great option for the efficient traveller, especially when your enemies are after you.

My notes on eSIM use using Airalo

📲 Installing an eSIM takes more steps than a physical SIM, especially as it’s a second line. While apps like Airalo give great instructions, this could be simplified in future.

💵 A rate of $18 USD for 10GB in most countries is much cheaper than many data roaming rates, but won’t beat a local SIM for value in some countries.

🇪🇺 UK residents, having recently lost much of their free EU roaming due to Brexit, still often get up to 20GB free EU roaming on some plans. However once that runs out, this is a nice way to top up.

🛫 I recently visited Turkey and found the ability to buy an eSIM before even landing in the country to be useful. If you start running low on data, you can buy more before the current pack runs out. It is seamless.

🤷 For reasons unknown to me, Apple has a built-in interface to buy eSIM plans on iPad, but not iPhone. I have found Airalo much more reliable than Apple’s iPad option, and non-existent iPhone option.

👽 I haven’t tested Airalo on Android, but see no reason it shouldn’t work the same way.

🪧 You won’t recognise the name of any of these providers. The names and brands are made up, as best as I can tell, by Airalo.

🔄 Tapping any Airalo eSIM option will outline which network it will connect you to. For example, visitors to the UK will be assigned O2, but only on the 4G spectrum. This is normal, where carriers like to keep their latest-and-greatest networks for their own customers, not resellers of their network (known as MVNOs). As such, if you need a specific network for speed or coverage reasons, this might not suit you.

📶 You can leave both your physical SIM and eSIM active at the same time, and even get two status bars showing both lines. It’s the default option, having both lines active.

🪫 I did notice a small amount of additional battery drain from leaving both active. My decision was to simply disable my physical SIM while overseas (who needs phone calls anyway, right?)

------------ 

Here’s how it looks when you have two active SIMs running at the same time. For instance, your SIM (or eSIM) from home open for SMS, and your local Airalo eSIM for data:

--------

Below is a guide to every step of the Airalo eSIM setup on iPhone.

Step by Step

For full context, here are the exact screens I encountered when buying and setting up my Airalo eSIM in Turkey for the first time, with 10GB data.

You’ll note that iOS provides options to choose which line to use for calls, iMessage, or data. The defaults effectively route data over the eSIM, and everything else 

---

Step 1: Check out

---

Step 2: Order confirmation

---

Step 3: A button appears to install the eSIM after purchase

---

Step 4: a few pages of tips provided by Airalo

---

Step 5: More instructions reiterating the previous visual guide. Tap “Install eSIM” to continue and actually get this data on the road!

---

Step 6: iOS prompts the eSIM installation

---

Step 7: this screen seems a bit redundant and could be merged with the previous one.

---

Step 8: You could label your SIMS “home” and “away” or anything you’ll remember later on. This would likely be more important if you could install more than on eSIM at a time.

---

Step 9: Which number do you want to use for calls or messages? Defaults to your physical SIM, with it presumed you’ll use the eSIM just for the data

---

Step 10: the important step! You’ll want to use the eSIM for data. If setting up before you arrive in your destination, leave this on your normal SIM, and change in Settings once you land.

These eSIMs will only work in the country specified at purchase.

There’s not much more I can add here. eSIM is great for travel. Airalo is great. There’s likely going to be more good apps and ways to do this in future, but for now it’s my recommendation.

If you use this link to register your account, you will receive a $3 USD sign-up credit, or you can just type my referral code in the app: JEREMY0461. Or if you have a friend using Airalo, ask them for their referral code and they will get the $3 instead!

Happy roaming.

Mobile phone coverage boost for the Lake District

Rural towns and villages in the Lake District have become the first in England to benefit as government delivers on its plan to improve 4G mobile coverage in hard-to-reach areas. The first of 83 government-funded mast upgrades planned in England were switched on today (9 April) near the market town of Keswick in Cumbria. It means dozens of local businesses and community organisations in areas including Naddle, Thirlmere and St Johns-in-the-Vale, can now take advantage of better connectivity thanks to the Shared Rural Network – a £1 billion programme brokered by the government and joint-funded with mobile network operators aimed at increasing mobile coverage in rural areas. The boost has been carried out by upgrading existing mobile masts which previously only connected EE customers and anyone making 999 calls, meaning communities can benefit from improved connectivity without the visual impact involved when building new masts. It will enable residents, tourists and businesses to access reliable 4G coverage from all four mobile network operators – EE, VMO2, Three and Vodafone – closing the connectivity blackhole and boosting economic growth in the region. Digital Infrastructure Minister Julia Lopez said: We’re dialling up fast and reliable mobile coverage across the UK through the Shared Rural Network. Our latest upgrade in the Lake District is one of many we’re working hard to deliver as part of our mission to clamp down on the headache of mobile ‘not spots’. The coverage boost will provide endless benefits for communities and visitors, ensuring people stay connected on the go, enabling people to work more efficiently and attracting vital investment to the rural economy. Ben Roome, CEO of Digital Mobile Spectrum Limited (DMSL) said: In England, since the Shared Rural Network was announced in March 2020, 4G coverage from all four operators has expanded across an additional 5,400 square kilometres – an area larger than Norfolk. As more shared mobile sites go live, people visiting and living in rural areas will see better 4G service thanks to this programme. Today marks an important milestone in the rollout of the Shared Rural Network aiming to bring reliable 4G signal to 95 per cent of UK landmass by the end of 2025. Since the Shared Rural Network programme began in 2020, an additional 13,000 sq km – roughly the size of Northern Ireland or two million football pitches – have been able to receive coverage from all four operators, EE, Three VMO2 and Vodafone. The government and the UK’s four mobile network operators aim to provide coverage to an additional 280,000 premises and 16,000km of the UK’s roads. The programme also aims to improve geographic coverage to 79% of Areas of Natural Beauty, up from 51% before the programme launched, and 74% of National Parks up from 41%, benefitting millions of visitors every year. The UK government is investing around £500 million into the Shared Rural Network, including £184 million to upgrade Extended Area Service (EAS) masts to provide coverage from all four mobile operators. Currently, commercial coverage from EAS masts is only available from EE – the operator responsible for the Emergency Services Network. The remaining government funding will go towards eliminating total ‘not spots’, places where there is no coverage from any mobile operator. The telecoms sector is also investing over £500 million to target partial ‘not spots’, where customers can only access 4G if they’re signed up with a mobile network operator that is active in the area. This part of the programme has already delivered significant coverage improvements across the UK, including in the areas of Shetland, Yorkshire, Fermanagh and Devon. Read the full article
