Does G5 has free radio license or something? Like everybody can transmit Wi-Fi?

Yes that is the plan to allow 5G to operate on mid to lower band frequencies for free. The telco providers have bought the higher end spectrum and will have rights to it. https://www.fcc.gov/5G

In the US. Other parts of the world don't get anything for free. 😉

5G is turning into the new cable-tv of the internet and nobody wants that. Best thing y'all can do is suck it up, get that fiber and never look back.

The real issue is infrastructure mismanagement here... they are lacking in the field of getting fiber out, but pump tax money into 5G only. That is in Austria, of course, and from my personal experience, I can't say anything about other countries. They had 1.000.000.000 € to be invested in "broadband internet" as they said, which was never spent at all in the last 5 years. All the money that improves infrastructure internet wise is pushed into 5G to serve companies' interests (like the whole "internet of things" BS). They did NOTHING at all, but now 5G is inbound "to save it all", it's marketed as the messiahs of modern age, although it's barely of use anyway. The problem with this is: over the air (phone) carriers, which run 5G network infrastructure, are mostly NOT national companies. They can't be forced to do anything, e.g. make them bring certain transfer speeds to every reagion etc. You can't give them a timeframe in which they have to build their new network etc. Fiber carriers are national companies mostly. As a government, you can force a national company to do anything you want, including, if necessary, ceasing their infrastructure in the people's interest, which is way more complicated with a company that's sitting in a foreign country. Winner is fiber / landbound. Over the air rates are hardly ever what you pay for ("up to" is just another term for "we tell you any number, you won't get it"). Fiber has way less up and down movement over the day of your transfer rate. Winner is fiber / landbound. For a 5G network, you need fibre to the sending tower's station. For fiber network, you need it practically into every home. Now this is in interesting one since in theory, 5G would win here, but bringing the fiber to every tower is already half the work needed, since from those fiber channels you can easily add enough fiber lines to the buildings around it, and it HAS to have the same bandwidth anyway, wheather you use a mobile device or a stationary one to access it... And that's just from the infrastructural point of view. As with every other kind of infrastructure (water, public transport, ...) it has proven in the people's, the nation's, the government's interest, to have a those fields of operation under government control, both due to a technological standpoint, as well as to keep costs low (no interest or income beyond keeping things running well needs to be generated opposed to a company being run). What do you need 5G networks for? I don't know, I haven't been able to make sense of using LTE. Yes, internet pages load faster, online high res streaming works better. Do we really need that? Hiding in front of a screen and with headphones outside now too? Because everything like this is only there for making live "more comfortable", as in making people more stupid, more solitary, and more ignorant to the world around them beyond the boarders of their subscription lists on social media. It only makes people easier to track, to analyze, to make them into nameless consumers and numbers in a database rather than individual people. It makes people easier to track, to control, to access when the "need" arises. All of this only makes the rest of the world what happens in China, right now, just with a bit more of sugar coating on top. Put on your tin foil hat and read the following: [SPOILER]Only for government surveillance there could be a real interest in doing those things via private companies and over the air. First, you save the cost of infrastructure, just to feed companies' greed by the cost for your own citizen with this, since they have to pay for those services anyway, and second, it makes people easier to track when you have a device which tells your absolute location to 5 meters of precision at all times.[/SPOILER]

just curious but can/does 5G come with a router that can run my whole house like I have now? or is it per device....sorry for noob question.

Unless carriers agree to remove cap from monthly data, I don't see a reason for 5G for smartphone consumer. With 4G, I can blow my 2GB data cap in 1 hour by watching Twitch 1080p quality. So yeah, it's pretty fast. Because of cap, consumers probably don't transfer lots of contents on their smartphones over 4G, hopefully 5G will resolve it. Then we get more people walking and staring at their smartphones or tablets streaming HD content without worrying data cap. By reading Wiki, 5G modems are not aimed for consumers. Mere consumers will still rely on Wi-Fi for their wireless needs.

This card has nothing to do with 5G except as a marketing gimmick. "intel® FPGA Programmable Acceleration Card (Intel® FPGA PAC) N3000 is Intel’s first full-duplex 100Gbps in-system re-programmable acceleration card for multi-workload networking application acceleration. The Intel® Programmable Acceleration Card (Intel® PAC) N3000 has the right memory mixture designed for network functions, with integrated NIC in a small form factor that enables high throughput, low latency, low-power/bit for custom networking pipeline. Support for industry standard orchestration and open source tools allow users to adapt quickly to evolving workloads."

Probably those routers behave just like the ones we have today, only that you have to choose where to put your 5G router for best reception. From there I guess it will be WLAN, with the usual limitations / reception over your house. edit: although it looks like @sverek has more intel on this

This Means We are getting The 5G Like Radio.
