AT&T Says Its 5G Network Is Now Available Nationwide

[kironin]

Just in time!

Everyone's favorite and 100% trustworthy news site, InfoWars, was getting the info out on this publication:

RETRACTED: 5G Technology and induction of coronavirus in skin cells - PubMed

Ahead of Print article withdrawn by publisher.

"5G Technology and induction of coronavirus in skin cells"

WTF? how did this hilarious nonsense pollute pubmed? DNA doesn't do this

weird and wacky

Scientists claim 5G mmWave technology could produce coronavirus in human cells

In a new paper, described by experts as the “stupidest” coronavirus take thus far, scientists claim that millimeter wave technology could cause cornaviruses in humans.

Looking at the map, I guess you could say "nationwide" although if you think "nationwide" means it's everywhere, you're wrong.
Typical ATT.

The article does say "205 Million users" and the US Population is about 330 Million, so i'd say it doesn't cover everyone.

 

[480951]

LOL. I've been living here 10 years and owned an iPhone 4, 4S, 5, 5S, 6, 7, 8, X and now 11 Pro. I can't drive 5 miles in any direction without cell phone service. I don't think restarting my phone is going to fix it this time but thanks for trying.

You must be holding the phone wrong then (yes, every single iPhone you listed from the 4 to the X) /s

 

[imola.zhp]

But that 5g is what caused COVID19! RUN!

 

[Attirex]

I'm staying in my house and wifi until such time as the not-wearing-masks-crazies and covid die out, so.....no need for cell service for at least ten years!

 

[Wags]

Is it sub 6 or mWave?

mWave only available few places according to their site. Calling it 5G+

Maybe 125 Million have bad credit. (kidding)

According to the ATT map, in my area there is solid 5G service. On my non-5G phone it still says LTE. At least they didn't switch to 5GE as in nearby areas. From a marketing perspective, 5G sounds not as advanced as 5GE or is this just me?

AT&T today announced that its 5G network is now live nationwide, following a slow rollout that began with tests in major U.S. cities back in 2017. Specifically, today marks the addition of 40 new markets added to support 5G, making it available to more than 205 million customers in 395 markets across the United States.

If you are on AT&T and have a 5G-capable smartphone, like Samsung's Galaxy S20 or the Galaxy Note 10, you'll be able to take advantage of the improved speeds and faster downloads that 5G offers. With nationwide coverage, AT&T noted that its customers can enjoy 5G speeds both in their homes and while on-the-go, although there are of course still some limits in more rural areas.

From August 7, 5G access will be added to the AT&T Unlimited Starter wireless plan at $35/month for four lines. It's already available on the Extra and Elite plans, and AT&T said that there will be no additional cost to these plans because of the addition of 5G.

For business customers, 5G access will also be added to the AT&T Business Unlimited Web-Only and Starter plans. This update will also be coming on August 7.

You can check to find out if you can access 5G in your area on AT&T's website. As of now, Apple doesn't offer an iPhone or iPad with support for 5G, but the so-called iPhone 12 is rumored to gain 5G connectivity later this year.

Nationwide. Riiight. It’s the teal color, folks. From the company that brought you the wonderful world of “5G Evolution” (about which they also lied about stopping the misleading label). They probably also wouldn’t hesitate to call it statewide in places like IA, NB, ND, SD, and NC where there’s a pixel on two sides.

Agreed, I wish they could do a better coverage for where people would really need - I was driving from Colorado to Oregon via I-80 in Wyoming a month ago, there were still some areas with no service, not in the middle of nowhere - on I-80 (in this map, there is a skiiiiiny area in light color in Southern Wyoming, that's along I-80!), not many residents there but people travel, life of people getting stuck in the middle of snow storm could depend on you, AT&T!

This will likely get some of us to ditch our original iPhone unlimited plan from 2007, as it won't include 5G.

FirstNet will put a big dent in that. The FN deployment isn't complete yet, but over the next two years as those underserved and unserved areas get rural fiber and microwave backhauls, they will get LTE coverage and eventually 5G.

 

[mofoliar]

I had 5G not (5Ge) in #Campfire area, I was a bit surprised given town is down to 2,000 people now

 

[Rigby]

The more people that flock to 5G is less people on my 4G tower! Ya all have fun with 5G!

The joke's on you. AT&T is reducing its 4G spectrum in the 850 MHz band to free up spectrum for the initial sub-6 5G network.

Yeah so I don't trust InfoWars. So I did my own research - which in reality took about 20 minutes. What I found in 20 minutes is

- There havent been ANY safety tests or safety studies on 5G. This is a fact so don't come at me with "conspiracy". It's not a conspiracy. Ok?! There haven't been any. Period.

- 60Ghz spectrum is a spectrum used by 5G. This is a fact. Ok?! It says so on the package text. It's being sold as that.

- MIT study from the 1970ies shows the impact of 60Ghz frequency on oxygen. IDK why this really old study came up - but it explored the impact of different frequencies. Conclusion: Oxygent shows high absorption rates. Meaning - there is a strong interaction with oxygen. This is a fact. I read the study. Unless you think the MIT engineers made that up. Which is possible.

- This study shows That 60Ghz impacts oxygen, whereas the frequencies around don't - 50Ghz and 70Ghz don't have much absorption of oxygen. There's a nice curve with a very steep spike peaking at 60Ghz. Makes me wonder - why doesn't 5 g use 50 or 70Ghz? I don't know the answer to that.

In my own conclusion - is it possible that 5 g could cause people to turn blue, and mess with oxygen absorption in the blood? Yes, it's possible. If it was me, I would research this, I would make sure it doesn't, and I would choose a different frequency, maybe 45Ghz or 75 to be on the safe side. Isn't everything about safety these days?

A few months on, I did a bit more digging and you will never guess WHERE I dug. In some secret archives? No. In CIA decals docs? No. I studied the brochure for the technology. What it is advertised to do. This, you can look up in any more technical description of the tech. It's most definitely NOT a theory - it's on the package, basically.

- Micro array antennas, short distance therefore many stations, many more than 4G - up to every 150 feet.

- Beamforming - the reason 5 g is so fast is that it forms a nice, straight beam from the base station to your device / body.

Now let's think logically what does beamforming mean? It means it forms a beam. Where 4G broadcasts in all directions, like a lightbulb, 5G creates beams to devices, like a laser pointer.

In order to create beams, it needs to know who is where - it tracks cell phones with a sort of sweeping motion, sweeping the area. Like a radar. It can see who is where with a very high precision. It needs to otherwise beamforming won't work.

This isn't a theory - it's how it works.

The biggest difference between beamforming and the old broadcast antenna is that beams do not lose intensity with distance. While a 4G tower loses signal power with the distance squred - e.g. super fast drop-off - 5G hardly loses any signal strength at all, because it's a straight line. It gets "absorbed" by organic and other materials, but when it hits you, it hits you full strength, distance doesn't matter much.

So it can track you, see where you are, and target you - this is all capabilities to make 5G work. This is no theory.

So one could potentially hack the system, arrange the antennas to follow one person around for a few months. They're getting then slowly grilled with radiation, at full power from every station.

Also, this capability could actually be intentionally built in by those who build these networks. I don't know that. But it's definitely possible to radiation-poison people with this tech and if it can be used like that, it WILL be used by that.

So unless youre sure that
- There isn't anybody behind this rushed rollout that may want to secretly exterminate unwanted people by giving them cancer (not that the CIA could for example possibly have any interest in such a directed energy weapons system.... noooo... they'd never do that... )
- There isn't anybody or any nation state that could possibly hack the system and use it for their own purposes (hey how about we target all men in america for prostate cancer? Would take a few months but whoops - or all women's wombs, then they all die out within a generation, whoops)

Etc. This tech is pure insantiy. I am convinced it's intentionally evil. But if I am wrong - and I might very well be - then it can most certainly be put to very evil purpose relatively easily. We are installing a grid of smart directed energy weapons after all, and kinda sorta hoping nobody will put them to use....

Oh boy... Ohhhhh boy....

You really really need to stop frequenting the wackadoodle 'science' websites and start listening to the real folks.

That's a whole load of twaddle you've posted there.

For example, we've had beamforming in routers for over 10 years now, and beamforming itself is over 100 years old.

I was about to say "Nationwide? I don't even see my city in the list." Then I saw your map. I wonder what the hold up in Nebraska and Iowa is? Sioux City, South Dakota has more 5G coverage than Nebraska for crying out loud!

Typical ATT.

There's most likely a 1pt * and the same 1pt disclaimer that "nationwide" is >99% or whatever percent.

Yea the funny thing I was thinking was one of the benefits of 5G is more concurrent users, but large gatherings where you could benefit are banned now.

 

[jooish]

It's funny that I get better coverage with AT&T over their rivals? what a bizarre reaction. welcome to my ever growing ignore list. congrats!

Wow... talk about sensitive.

I've had AT&T for around 15 years, but you won't see me acting like an apologist for them. USA has it pretty bad in terms of getting our dollars value for cellular service.

They don’t even have it in the Research Triangle of NC, at least according to the map. Absurd.

I’ll wait for Verizon to rollout their 5G, thanks. The “if you’re not first, you’re last” rule does not apply here.

 

[xpxp2002]

I’ll wait for Verizon to rollout their 5G, thanks. The “if you’re not first, you’re last” rule does not apply here.

Verizon is actually doing very little sub-6 5G. It may come eventually, but they are fairly constrained for low- and mid-band spectrum (MHz per subscriber) and need to keep as much spectrum servicing LTE at the moment. Their mmWave deployments, where they exist, are actually providing real world 1.5-2 Gbps though. If you live in one of those cities and spend a lot of time around the central business district, you'll probably benefit from their 5G the most.

T-Mobile on the other hand, is basically doing the opposite. They have a huge chunk of 600 MHz spectrum that is being used for 5G. It'll be less speedy, but far more ubiquitous.

AT&T is kind of right in the middle. As of now, they have sub-6 in the areas described in this new press release, which covers a sizable portion of the US. Unfortunately, there are major cities where AT&T doesn't have 850 MHz cellular licenses and has been waiting to deploy 5G on PCS spectrum until they get DSS (Dynamic Spectrum Sharing) deployed in those markets. This will enable them to dynamically allocate spectrum between LTE and 5G NR within the same band. I believe there's a portion of North Texas that has DSS live, but so far that's it. Most of AT&T's non-cellular cities should have mmWave by now, though. Like Verizon, those mmWave deployments are hotspot-like high throughput zones where you can get 1+ Gbps, but only within a few city blocks.

 

[now i see it]

that big coverage map above is for sub 6mm wavelengths (5GE) which is marginally better than 5G. If you look at their 5G+ (real 5G)coverage map, its only available in a couple huge cities.
