Huawei surges into the 5.5G lead
Huawei is moving ahead into the 5.5G era, a marked advance over current 5G networks and a practical halfway house on the road to 6G. Also known as

I can already burn through my entire wireless data limit in minutes. What is the point in it being faster without data being cheaper? At least from a users perspective and not someone who owns a telecommunications company.
@IzzyData @yogthos lower cost is important if wireless applications were to expand, better coverage is important too. It was little advertised that 5G infrastructure was supposed to cost less than 4G infrastructure because it broke the industry model of 5G being the new shiny that you have to pay $X more a month… the same model that killed 3D movies.
I am not sure but maybe this can give a hint as to how high speed wireless data transfer can be helpful: https://www.ericsson.com/en/cases/2019/5g-smart-harbor-at-the-port-of-qingdao
The 5G connection included data traffic from more than 30 high-definition cameras as well as control data for a programmable logic controller (PLC). These operations required millisecond-level latency control signals, as well as stable, remote and real-time control, requirements which only key 5G technologies can deliver.
The field trial confirmed the feasibility and potential of 5G applications for the development of smart harbors, and as a result, Ericsson, China Unicom and other partners have agreed to jointly explore commercial 5G networks and solutions for smart harbors that include both automated harbors and the modernization of traditional harbors.
It's not just meant for end users.
It sounds like the latency is really important here and not necessarily the bandwidth. That makes sense.
