A 5G future

O'Reilly

Back in the 1980s, Nicholas Negroponte said everything wired will become wireless, and everything wireless will become wired. Can 5G replace wired broadband, allowing one wireless service for home and mobile connectivity? Reliability will be an even bigger problem than latency. I don’t, do you? So where is 5G useful?

What is a Private 5G Network?

VoltDB

Unlike public networks — like your cellular carrier or the wireless network you connect to while you enjoy your Starbucks — private networks are only accessible to a specific set of authorized users and devices. In either case, the organization controls who and which devices can connect using SIM cards and access controls.

HTTP/3: Practical Deployment Options (Part 3)

Finally, not inlining resources has an added latency cost because the file needs to be requested. Packet loss on cable might be bursty, but wireless links might benefit more from QUIC’s head-of-line blocking removal. In our own early tests , I found seriously diminishing returns at about 40 files.

HTTP/3: Performance Improvements (Part 2)

Smashing Magazine

Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Latency can be roughly defined as the time it takes to send a packet from point A (say, the client) to point B (the server). Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT).
