WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.120 All right, everyone, welcome back. We're diving deep into five 2 00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:09.000 G today, and yeah, it's going to be a wild ride, 3 00:00:09.039 --> 00:00:12.119 I think, because we're going way beyond just like well 4 00:00:12.160 --> 00:00:15.160 you can download faster. You know, you're talking about some 5 00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:18.800 pretty fundamental shifts. It really is in how we live 6 00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:22.039 and work and experience the world. And to help us 7 00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:26.839 navigate this this crazy new landscape, we've got excerpts from 8 00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:30.559 Get this this Sprint Business Special edition of five G 9 00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:31.280 for Dummies. 10 00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:35.280 All Right, so that sounds accessible. 11 00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:38.359 Yeah, exactly. Yeah, And I think what's really cool about 12 00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:40.359 this is that, you know, it's written for people who 13 00:00:40.359 --> 00:00:42.200 are kind of in the business world, so it's got 14 00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:44.880 that practical you know, how is this going to affect 15 00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:47.320 the bottom line? Right kind of vibe, which I appreciate. 16 00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:47.880 I love that. 17 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:52.320 Yeah, So where do we even begin with five G? 18 00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:55.799 I mean everyone's heard the hype. What's the reality. 19 00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.159 I think a good place to start is by acknowledging 20 00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:01.479 that five G is not just like the next little step. 21 00:01:01.799 --> 00:01:03.719 You know, it's not just a little upgrade. 22 00:01:03.759 --> 00:01:06.239 It's not just four G but a little faster exactly. 23 00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:08.760 Yeah, It's not an incremental change, right, This is like 24 00:01:09.079 --> 00:01:14.000 think about going from the horse and buggy to the automobile. Wow, 25 00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:16.159 that's the kind of shift we're talking about. 26 00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:21.319 Okay, So it's a transportation revolution, yes, a complete transportation revolution. Okay. 27 00:01:21.319 --> 00:01:23.719 So to kind of put this in perspective, yeah, you know, 28 00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:26.959 we all remember, I think the jump from three G 29 00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:31.480 to four G. Suddenly we could actually like watch videos 30 00:01:31.640 --> 00:01:34.640 on our phones. Oh yeah, without wanting to like tear 31 00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.359 our hair out all those buffering wheels. 32 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:38.599 Totally remember those days. 33 00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:43.959 Oh yeah, oh man, But five G it's promising speeds 34 00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:47.519 that make even the most you know, like super advanced 35 00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:51.719 four G LTE whatever. Yeah, look like dial. 36 00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:52.719 Up, right exactly. 37 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:55.239 So we're talking what like downloading a full HD movie 38 00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:55.959 in minutes? 39 00:01:56.120 --> 00:01:57.760 Yeah, I think minutes, not ours. 40 00:01:57.879 --> 00:01:58.120 Wow. 41 00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:00.319 Okay, that's the kind of leap we're talking about. 42 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:02.840 So how how is that even possible? 43 00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:05.599 Well, to understand that, we got to talk about spectrum. 44 00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:09.039 Okay, the spectrum. It's like I've heard it described as 45 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:12.479 like a highway for data. The more lanes you have, 46 00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:14.560 the more data can flow freely. 47 00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.280 That's a good starting point. Yeah, okay, it's a helpful 48 00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:20.199 way to visualize it, but it's more nuanced than that. Okay, 49 00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:23.240 you see, five G isn't just about using more spectrum, 50 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:26.800 it's about using higher frequencies. Okay, So we're talking about 51 00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:29.759 midband and high band spectrum that haven't really been widely 52 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:30.479 used before. 53 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.039 So why haven't we tapped into these frequencies before? What's 54 00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:34.520 the catch? 55 00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:38.840 Well, it comes down to physics. Basically, higher frequency signals 56 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.000 they have a harder time traveling long distances okay, and 57 00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:44.719 penetrating obstacles like walls and buildings and stuff. 58 00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:45.719 So I would get around that. 59 00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:49.000 This is where things get really interesting from a technical standpoint. 60 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:49.479 Okay. 61 00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:54.680 Five G uses these smaller, more densely packed antennas, okay, 62 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:57.199 and a technology called massive. 63 00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:58.039 MEMO massive MIMO. 64 00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:01.560 Yeah, it stands for multiple input and multiple output. Okay, 65 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:04.840 it's a mouthful, but basically, imagine instead of one big 66 00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:08.360 antenna on a cell tower, right, you have dozens or 67 00:03:08.360 --> 00:03:11.719 even hundreds of smaller antennas all working together. 68 00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:12.599 Wow. 69 00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:16.159 And this allows five G to focus the signal much 70 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.319 more precisely, kind of like a laser beam directly to 71 00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:19.960 your device. 72 00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:23.120 So it's like a targeted beam of data exactly. It's 73 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.000 called beam forming beam forming, okay. 74 00:03:25.080 --> 00:03:27.560 And it doesn't just improve coverage and speeds, but it 75 00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:31.479 also increases network capacity because you can have multiple beams 76 00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:33.960 going to multiple devices all at the same time. 77 00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:37.719 That's incredible. So Sprint they're already using some of this technology, right, 78 00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:40.960 Like they're laying the groundwork for five G with their 79 00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:44.199 current advanced four G LTE network exactly. 80 00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:48.199 Yeah, they're using techniques like carrier aggregation, which combines multiple 81 00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:50.919 lanes think of it that way, a spectrum to create 82 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:52.319 a wider data highway. 83 00:03:52.680 --> 00:03:55.800 So it's like combining multiple highways into one like mega 84 00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:57.719 super highway for data exactly. 85 00:03:57.879 --> 00:03:58.840 That's a great analogy. 86 00:03:58.919 --> 00:03:59.639 That's pretty cool. 87 00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:03.400 And this is already boosting speeds and getting the network 88 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.120 ready to handle all the demands that five G is 89 00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:06.879 going to bring. 90 00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.960 Right, because it's not just about speed, yeah right, it's 91 00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:13.560 about like handling a lot more than just downloading movies faster. 92 00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.040 And actually our source breaks it down in three main 93 00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:18.360 needs categories. 94 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:22.319 They talk about UH enhanced Mobile broadband, which is all 95 00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:25.519 about you know, those super fast speeds we've been talking about. Okay, 96 00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:29.000 so that's like great for streaming high quality video. 97 00:04:29.079 --> 00:04:32.680 VR AR right, So anything where like LAG is just 98 00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:35.319 like not an option, not an option okay. And then 99 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.279 there's massive machine type. 100 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:40.920 Communication, right, massive MTC MTC Okay, Yeah, this is all 101 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:44.600 about the Internet of things. Okay, So you know smart homes, 102 00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:47.839 connected cars, smart cities with sensors everywhere. 103 00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:49.959 Yeah, like everything's talking to everything else. 104 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:54.399 Exactly. It's about connecting potentially billions of devices. 105 00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:54.759 Wow. 106 00:04:55.160 --> 00:04:57.439 A lot of them only send small bits of data, 107 00:04:57.639 --> 00:05:00.639 but they need to be ultra reliable and enter efficient. 108 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.920 So it's less about speed and more about like the 109 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:05.839 sheer number of connections exactly. 110 00:05:05.959 --> 00:05:09.040 Yeah, it's about handling a massive number of connections reliable okay. 111 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:12.120 And then the last category, critical communications. 112 00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:14.120 Yeah, this where things get really serious. 113 00:05:14.199 --> 00:05:14.439 Okay. 114 00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:18.399 We're talking about applications where even a millisecond of delay 115 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:23.480 could be catastrophic. Wow, things like self driving cars, remote surgery, 116 00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:25.519 industrial automation, right where. 117 00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:28.120 You need like that instantaneous. 118 00:05:27.480 --> 00:05:31.480 Yeah, I mean near instantaneous response times and rock solid reliability. 119 00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.199 Okay. So that's a lot for a network to handle, 120 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:37.639 it is, So, how does five G actually do all 121 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:37.839 of this? 122 00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:41.319 Well, each of these applications, right, they have different requirements, 123 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.360 and five G is designed to handle all of them. 124 00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:48.040 Okay on a single flexible network. Oh wow, and that's 125 00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:49.319 what makes it so powerful. 126 00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:52.199 So let's dig into the tech a little bit. Because 127 00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.240 our source talks about five G new radio. Is that 128 00:05:55.319 --> 00:05:57.560 like the magic ingredient five G. 129 00:05:57.639 --> 00:06:00.279 New Radio or five GNR for sut. 130 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:02.920 Okay, it's the technology that makes all this five G 131 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:08.279 magic happen. It's a completely new radio access technology designed 132 00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.639 specifically for five G and it uses a wider range 133 00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:14.879 of frequencies, including those high band frequencies we talked about, 134 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:17.480 and it's built to handle the demands of all those 135 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:19.160 different use cases we just discussed. 136 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.759 Okay, So it's like it can do the super fast speeds, 137 00:06:22.199 --> 00:06:24.439 it can do the massive number of connections, and it 138 00:06:24.480 --> 00:06:26.839 can do the Yeah, it can do it all like 139 00:06:27.040 --> 00:06:30.000 ultra reliable, low latency stuff exactly. 140 00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:32.959 It's designed to be super flexible, wow, and adaptable. 141 00:06:33.079 --> 00:06:35.439 Okay, so what about It also mentions that it works 142 00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:37.800 with the existing four G networks, right, so we don't 143 00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.759 have to like rip everything out and start over. 144 00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:43.600 Right, that's a key point. Okay, five GNR can work 145 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:48.360 alongside for G LTE, using the existing infrastructure to provide 146 00:06:48.399 --> 00:06:52.319 coverage while we gradually transition to a full five G network. 147 00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:54.040 So it's like a phased. 148 00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:55.519 Rollout exactly, smooth transition. 149 00:06:55.600 --> 00:06:59.079 Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, now this is already getting 150 00:06:59.079 --> 00:06:59.800 pretty complex. 151 00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:04.800 But our source also mentions something called network slicing. Oh yeah, 152 00:07:04.839 --> 00:07:05.920 what exactly is that? 153 00:07:06.040 --> 00:07:10.279 Network slicing is one of the most revolutionary aspects of 154 00:07:10.319 --> 00:07:14.759 five G. I think it's like having multiple virtual networks 155 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:19.199 all running on top of a single physical infrastructure. 156 00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:21.120 So like kind of like a like a virtual machine 157 00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:21.680 kind of. 158 00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:25.600 Yeah, think of it like this. Okay, imagine a highway, right, 159 00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:29.920 but with dedicated lanes okay for different types of vehicles. 160 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:32.600 So you've got trucks in one lane, cars and another, 161 00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:34.959 maybe motorcycles zipping along in a third lane. 162 00:07:34.959 --> 00:07:36.199 All right, I can picture that. 163 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.120 And each lane has its own speed limit, its own 164 00:07:39.199 --> 00:07:42.800 rules of the road, and they all operate smoothly together 165 00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.040 without interfering with each other. Okay, that's kind of like 166 00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:47.199 network slicing. 167 00:07:47.439 --> 00:07:51.480 So you could have like one slice for video streaming, yeah, 168 00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:54.480 another one for like self driving cars, another one for 169 00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:58.920 like all those billions of IoT sensors exactly, all running 170 00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:00.079 on the same network, on. 171 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:00.800 The same network. 172 00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:04.680 Yeah. Wow, that's that's pretty mind blowing. It is, so 173 00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:08.800 to recap we've got the spectrum, we've got massive Mimo, 174 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:13.199 we've got five G new radio, and we've got network 175 00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:16.839 slicing all working together, all these pieces working together to 176 00:08:16.879 --> 00:08:20.279 create this, to create this incredibly powerful. 177 00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:22.600 Incredibly powerful and versatile network. 178 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:23.240 And versatile network. 179 00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:23.720 Yeah. 180 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:27.639 Okay, so that's the foundation. Now let's talk about what 181 00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:29.079 we can actually do with this thing. 182 00:08:29.319 --> 00:08:33.159 Now the fun part begins. Yeah, we're going to explore 183 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.600 the potential applications, okay, and how five G could transform 184 00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:39.320 our lives in countless ways. 185 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.879 All right, well, let's hold that thought because we'll be 186 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:45.000 exploring those applications in detail in the next part of 187 00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:45.639 our deep dive. 188 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:46.679 Looking forward to it. 189 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:49.960 Stay tuned absolutely, Welcome back to our deep dive into 190 00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:50.399 five G. 191 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.240 We're ready to get into the applications now, right, Yeah, 192 00:08:53.320 --> 00:08:55.519 let's talk about what we can actually do with this 193 00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:58.720 amazing technology. Okay. Well, first, I think it's important to 194 00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:03.639 remember that five G isn't just one single technology, a whole. 195 00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:05.919 Bunch of innovations working together, like we talked about in 196 00:09:05.919 --> 00:09:06.440 the last part. 197 00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:09.759 Yeah, we covered a lot of ground.

You can have real time data collection 369 00:16:50.799 --> 00:16:54.840 and analysis from every machine, every sensor on the factory floor. 370 00:16:54.919 --> 00:16:55.159 Wow. 371 00:16:55.720 --> 00:16:58.600 And that allows for things like predictive maintenance. 372 00:16:58.399 --> 00:17:01.919 Okay, so you can anticipate problems before they happen exactly. 373 00:17:02.039 --> 00:17:06.039 You can optimize workflows and even quickly adapt to changing 374 00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:07.119 customer demands. 375 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:11.200 So it's like making the whole manufacturing process smarter and 376 00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:12.680 more responsive exactly. 377 00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:15.559 It's a whole new level of efficiency and flexibility. 378 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:17.400 It sounds like it could be a catalyst for a 379 00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:18.880 whole new industrial revolution. 380 00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:19.920 It really could. 381 00:17:20.279 --> 00:17:24.079 But with any major technological shift like this, right, I mean, 382 00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:25.720 they're bound to be disruptions. 383 00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:29.279 Of course, there will be challenges, Yeah, Like what what 384 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:30.799 kind of disruptions are we talking about? 385 00:17:30.920 --> 00:17:35.160 Well, as automation becomes more sophisticated, right, and more widespread, 386 00:17:35.279 --> 00:17:37.839 some jobs are inevitably going to be displaced. 387 00:17:37.920 --> 00:17:39.720 Okay, So people are going to need to adapt and 388 00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:41.519 learn new skills exactly. 389 00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:45.160 Education and retraining programs will be essential. 390 00:17:44.880 --> 00:17:47.680 Yeah, to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to 391 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:49.559 thrive in this new economy. 392 00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:51.319 Absolutely, we can't leave anyone behind. 393 00:17:51.400 --> 00:17:56.400 Okay. So beyond just the economic implications, yeah, what about 394 00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:00.160 the broader societal impact of living in a world that's 395 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:01.559 like hyper connected? 396 00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:05.200 That's a big question, right, How will our relationships change? 397 00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:08.799 How will we consume information? How will we even define 398 00:18:08.880 --> 00:18:12.599 privacy in a world where data is constantly being collected 399 00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:13.440 and analyzed. 400 00:18:13.640 --> 00:18:15.920 It's like a whole new set of challenges that we've 401 00:18:15.960 --> 00:18:17.000
