Mobile Wireless Telephony and Mobile Wireless Computing ...

... and particularly the latter (computing on a smartphone, phablet or tablet using high speed cellular packet data) is an acceptable topic for discussion on this SI Subject Board.

I am in the process of revitalizing two Mobile Wireless technology boards that have not been posted to for some time but do provide some searchable historical data on evolution of cellular mobile wireless technology. Both links have been added to this boards header.

• 4G - Wireless Beyond Third Generation | Subject 51577

• 5G Wireless and the Internet of Things (IoT) | Subject 59647

Some may find it useful to bookmark or subjectmark those 2 boards and individuals are free to post to them at any time.

Please note that 5G Wireless is currently a vision that has not yet been fully standardized or commercialized but we'll start seeing rudimentary implementations within the coming year.

The current state of the art technology for both Mobile Wireless Telephony and Mobile Wireless Computing is 4G LTE Advanced standardized in 3GPP with Voice over LTE (VoLTE). All 4 major nationwide Network Operators (NOs) provide phones incorporating this technology and only Sprint has not yet turned on VoLTE service but will by this fall. If you use a mobile smartphone that does not incorporate and support VoLTE it is technologically obsolete and you should be considering one that does.

Me? I use a value priced Android LTE Advanced and WiFi Samsung Galaxy smartphone with VoLTE primarily for voice calling and SMS/EMS/MMS/texting and some cellular IP packet data on the AT&T Wireless network. Service is provided by AT&T subsidiary Cricket Wireless and I pay $35/mo after Auto Pay credit for Unlimited calls, texts and picture messages across the U.S. and 5 GB high-speed data access with speeds up to 4G LTE with access speeds reduced after 5GB allowance is used. Serious computing is done on Windows desktop computers with widescreen displays, full keyboard and mouse.
