🇺🇸 Step back in time and delve into the fascinating history of AT&T's journey in the development and production of mobile phones! The AT&T Corporation (an abbreviation of its former name, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company) was a successor of the original Bell Telephone Company founded by the legendary inventor of the first practical telephone - Alexander Graham Bell in 1877.

👉 AT&T's division - Bell Laboratories, was created in 1925 from the consolidation of the R&D organizations of Western Electric and AT&T. Bell Labs made significant scientific advances, including the transistor, the laser, the solar cell, the digital signal processor chip, the Unix operating system, and the cellular concept of mobile telephone service.

🔍 AT&T's foray into the realm of mobile phones dates back to the early days of telecommunications. In the late 1940s, it embarked on pioneering efforts to develop mobile phone technology, laying the groundwork for future advancements in wireless communication.

💡 In the early years, AT&T, a huge telecommunications giant, focused on developing analog mobile phone systems, laying the groundwork for the future of wireless communication. Their first systems were limited to car phones, which required roughly 30 pounds of equipment in the trunk. These early devices were bulky and limited in functionality, but they represented a groundbreaking leap forward in telecommunications.

🏁 The first cellular phone was the culmination of efforts begun at AT&T Bell Labs and continued by Motorola Inc. While Motorola was developing the cellular phone itself, AT&T Bell Labs worked on the cellular system called AMPS. On April 3, 1973, Martin Cooper placed the first public call from a Motorola handheld portable cell phone to his counterpart Dr. Joel S. Engel at AT&T Bell Labs.

🏙 Advanced Mobile Phone System (AMPS) was an analog mobile phone system standard originally developed by AT&T Bell Labs and later modified in a cooperative effort with Motorola Inc. It was officially introduced in the USA on October 13, 1983. On this day, Bob Barnett, former president of Ameritech Mobile Communications, placed a call with a cell phone to the grandson of Alexander Graham Bell, who was in Germany for the event.

➡️ During the 1980s to 1990s, AT&T Corporation tried to achieve its place in the cell phone market and introduced some interesting devices: 3810, 3850, and 6650. Featuring sleek and ergonomic designs, they were a real testament to innovation and engineering excellence.

⚙️ Equipped with advanced features for its time, these phones boasted impressive functionality, including voice calling, text messaging, and address book capabilities. Their cutting-edge technology represented a leap forward in mobile communication, setting new standards for performance and reliability. These phones also ran on the AMPS 800 cell system.

📑 In 1996, AT&T spun off Bell Laboratories, along with most of its equipment manufacturing business, into a new company named Lucent Technologies. AT&T retained a small number of researchers who made up the staff of the newly created AT&T Labs. That meant the decline of future attempts at cell phone manufacturing by AT&T Corporation.

🌐 Today, AT&T continues to be a powerful multinational telecommunications holding company, offering a diverse range of cutting-edge services to consumers worldwide. With a rich legacy of innovation and a steadfast commitment to excellence, AT&T remains a leader in the ever-evolving landscape of telecommunications.

Do you have a more up to date link for a hacked spotify for android? I found your post from 2022 but the link doesn't have a version that's up to date with the version of spotify I have.

Thanks 💚

Not exactly. I actually don't use the hacked Spotify app anymore. I prefer Spotube, a free open-source app that interfaces directly with the Spotify web API. It also let's you download songs and albums directly, which the hacked app didn't do!

Overall Spotube is more stable, trustworthy (because the code source is open and community-audited), and will never be at risk Spotify patching the hack or disabling your account for violating terms of service, because it uses 100% legal software.

(P.S. the first link leads to F-Droid, an alternative app store for free, community-driven, open-source apps. That's where you can also download NewPipe, my favorite ad-free youtube app.)

5G C-band on airplanes ?

The C-band network is scheduled to launch in December. On October 5, 2021, the aviation industry and the FAA argued that the C-band signal from aircraft radios, which estimates the distance of aircraft from the ground for landing in bad weather, should be picked up. These altimeters are designed to use the same band as the 5G network (the aircraft frequency is 400 MHz in the network launch of 2022), but some of them are designed not to scan the surrounding frequencies, because these frequencies are not used to power when altimeters. was built. The FAA and air carriers agree on a two-mile "exclusion zone" around most airports where air carriers will not launch c band first. cities like Chicago, Dallas, New York and San Diego that are close to the airport. Our tests showed that Verizon appears to maintain a signal beyond the two-mile limit, at least in New York.

The FAA is also working to review and approve altimeter models with precision filters, although some observers wonder why the agency could not have done so a year ago, when a different model was installed. separate for the sale. No aircraft interference affects frequencies below 3.7 GHz. This means that it does not affect CBRS, or T-Mobile's mid-band, or AT&T's 3.45 GHz. This gives AT&T and T-Mobile a significant advantage over Verizon right now, as they are able to install centralized systems near airports where Verizon is not.

Which phones support C-band?

For a phone to support the US C-band, it needs three things: its hardware must support it, it must be approved by the FCC to work on it, and it must have the right software. The latter has caused some delays, for example in Verizon's Pixel 6. Pixel 6 has hardware and FCC certification, but c band support is delayed for a short time due to missing firmware. (This has now been fixed.)

The main thing to look for in the data sheet is whether it supports the n77 band, but in the end it is up to the operators to implement the correct firmware.

AT&T's C-band list is similar, but there is an additional addition, as not all AT&T C-band phones support 3.45 GHz. Currently, the only phones we know of that will support the new 3.45GHz for AT&T are the Samsung Galaxy S22 series and the Google Pixel 6a, but AT&T has promised more details on that later this year. The iPhone 14 series will be the first 3.45GHz iPhones.

Do you need a C-band phone?

Now, deciding whether you need a C-band phone comes down to trying to figure out if your carrier will launch a C-band network before you get a new phone.

• AT&T users should think about their current data usage. Hopefully, the C band isn't too fast. If you're disappointed with your AT&T performance, get a phone compatible with the upcoming 3.45 GHz network. For now this list is limited, so wait for a better list. • Verizon launches into C-band If you live in one of the carrier's C-band markets and data performance is important to you, you should get a C-band phone.

• T-Mobile does not have C-band airwaves until 2024. T-Mobile users should not worry about C-band only.

• US Cellular is in the same boat as T-Mobile.

We'll be monitoring C-band development and let you know if it's available on every phone we review, so make sure you buy a model that supports the wave you want to use.

Why do we need C-band?

The 5G situation in the United States is currently very difficult. For 5G to deliver a better experience than 4G, it needs a wide, dedicated channel, preferably 50 MHz or more. For 5G to cover the whole country, it needs to be running below around 6 GHz, so you can get a good range from the tower. Currently, AT&T and Verizon do not use wireless networks to match these fees. Verizon may have something to gain by using the new CBRS wireless network below C-band, but the jury is still out. So in general, AT&T and Verizon offer 5G that is not faster than LTE at the same time or without limits.

C band can solve this problem. The government has released 280 MHz of airwaves in the main C-band and an additional 100 MHz in the 3.45 band, which can extend up to 800 meters from each tower, leaving enough bandwidth for many airwave carriers. and benefited. through 5G is strong. mainly existing cell sites.

Leaving the cellular is a terrible thing. This 2006 article estimates that the 3.5 GHz network can extend up to 2 km from any site in urban areas and up to 6.2 km in rural areas. According to CellMapper.net, there is about 2.5 miles between T-Mobile's 2.6 GHz sites in downtown Dallas, but only 0.6 miles between sites where I live in Queens, New York. So I say half a mile for a 3.5GHz network is fine.

Our first test of Verizon's c band shows a range of about 0.37 miles in populated Queens, New York. This, however, appears to be limited not by the power of the airwaves, but by the fact that Verizon doesn't want its cell sites to interfere with each other.
