Hi Voornaam


In this second edition of WIREFREEZ news, I have tried to limit the number of stories but there is just so much content out there that I'm afraid you're going to have to put up with hours of reading material over the weekend.

China is giving the world a lesson on how to rollout 5G at the moment, promising to connect 200 million 5G smartphone users to 800,000 base stations by the end of the year. They'll all get an average download speed of 200 Mbps in most cities unless they happen to be a public facility, in which case they'll get more than 500 Mbps,

Nokia's new CEO gave a sobering presentation in the company's Q3 conference, admitting the 7% drop in revenue was largely due to its loss of Verizon RAN business to Samsung and the resulting poor performance of its mobile access business.

There's a looming battle going on in the US over the use of 12 GHz spectrum for 5G use. Satellite operators oppose it. The FCC will decide.

If you're looking for a 5G pure play investment or two, there's an interesting report that might surprise you.

There is also a ton of other news below and just in case you missed our inaugural edition I have once again included the WIREFREEZ introductory video.
