Why mmWave hasn't become the mainstream spectrum of 5G?

In a previous article of IPLOOK, we introduced what 5G mmWave (5G mmWave) is. Due to its wide bandwidth, abundant resources, and high frequency characteristics, 5G mmWave has significant advantages and was once considered a key frequency band for development in the early stages of 5G. However, today, although many countries and regions around the world have promoted or deployed 5G mmWave, the application of mmWave technology in the industry still faces uncertainties and challenges.

At the beginning of 2023, due to various factors, the construction progress of 5G mmWave base stations in South Korea was far behind expectations, with completion rates only ranging from 10.6% to 12.5%. In Japan, NTT DOCOMO and Rakuten Mobile experienced no growth in mmWave users, and their traffic share was relatively low. Even in the US, which began deploying 5G mmWave ahead of other countries in 2019, the availability of 5G mmWave networks is less than 1%.

Many people believe that the reason why 5G mmWave has not become the mainstream spectrum for 5G is because of its own characteristics and the unclear application demands：

Limited Range: leading to high cost

The mmWave has a small coverage radius, and the construction and operation costs for the same coverage area are high, which hinders large-scale deployment. As a result of its high frequency and large transmission loss, the mmWave has poor coverage ability, with a coverage radius of only about 150 meters for a single mmWave base station, which is only 1/5 of the coverage radius of low-frequency bands such as Sub-6. If a continuous coverage 5G mmWave network is to be built like in the 3.5GHz frequency band, the number of base stations needed would be more than twenty times greater than that of regular 5G base stations, leading to high construction costs.

Poor Penetration: resulting in poor user experience

5G mmWave has poor penetration capability and severe diffuse attenuation, resulting in poor user experience and customer dissatisfaction. There are two main reasons for this. First, the mmWave has a short wavelength (between 1-10 mm), making it poorly penetrating, as it can be blocked by leaves and water droplets. Second, the mmWave is sensitive to the surface of objects, easily causing signal energy to dissipate in multiple directions, resulting in poor signal reception at the receiving end and affecting user experience. For example, even though over 20,000 mmWave base stations have been built in Japan, customers are reluctant to pay for mmWave services due to prominent problems such as frequent signal interruptions and insufficient coverage during usage.

Lack of Groundbreaking Apps

Low-frequency mmWave has clear bandwidth advantages, but due to the lack of groundbreaking applications, its value is difficult to fully unleash in the short term. Globally, mid-to-low frequency spectrum resources are gradually becoming scarce, and more reliance is placed on spectrum re-farming and frequency coordination to solve this issue. In contrast, 5G mmWave, with its continuous and wide spectrum resources, can better achieve bandwidth capacity enhancement. However, by reason of the unclear promotion of large-scale applications such as XR and Smart Homes, and traditional video services can be satisfied with existing bandwidth, the short-term demand for mmWave is not significant.

Networking Like an IT Girl | IT GIRL DIARIES

In today’s world, making good connections with people can be tough. Whether it’s meeting new friends or building professional relationships, it’s important to leave a good impression. Having a good circle and being able to network well with people is crucial during your IT Girl Journey. Here are some tips and tricks to help you stand out

1. Take Care of Yourself When you feel good, you look good, and confidence shines through. Healthy habits like drinking lemon water in the morning, eating lots of greens, and exercising regularly make you feel more energetic and ready to meet new people. When you feel your best, it’s easier to connect with others and make a lasting impression.

2. Be Real and Honest People appreciate honesty and being real. When you meet someone new, just be yourself. Show interest in what they have to say, ask questions, and really listen. Being genuine helps build trust, which is the foundation for meaningful friendships and professional connections.

3. Focus on a Few Good Relationships It’s better to have a few strong friendships than many shallow ones. Spend time building deep connections with people who share your values and inspire you. These relationships are more meaningful and last longer, both in your social life and in your career.

4. Show Your Personality While being professional is important, don’t be afraid to let your personality shine. Whether you’re at work or meeting new people in a social setting, showing your true self makes you more relatable and memorable. People connect with those who are genuine and open.

5. Share Your Healthy Habits Your healthy lifestyle can be a great conversation starter. Talking about things like your daily green juice, or how magnesium helps you sleep, can lead to interesting conversations and help you find people with similar interests. Plus, sharing wellness tips makes you stand out as someone who is mindful and health-conscious.

6. Keep in Touch Building strong connections takes time, so stay in touch with people. Whether it’s following up after meeting someone new or checking in with friends regularly, consistency is key. Social media can help, but personal interactions—like meeting for coffee—go a long way in keeping relationships strong.

By being yourself, taking care of your health, and staying consistent, you can build lasting connections that make you stand out in any social or professional setting. Networking like an IT Girl means showing up as your best self and nurturing relationships with kindness and care.

Listen, I’ve been on tumblr long enough to know that if you made the initial procedure a little less horrific (or maybe even if you didn’t) and let them retain just the tiniest bit of their original consciousness you’d have at least enough volunteers to crew one ship

(wip- rough concepts for the map layers etc for the totk rewritten/botw 2 project)

i hope its confusing enough with all three map layers plus some rough info all in one ngvfdjknvfdkjnvgkd

ultimately i want to take into consideration where towers and shrines where in botw to make use of that more directly, but this is a rough idea layout for all layers

(purple is underground, dark is sky islands, then theres the main map with the changes i got so far, main dungeons roughly marked- though they are varied in which layer they are- the settlements and the dragon paths- since i want all three dragons to fly in one map layer that matches their part of the trio)

not as interesting as the other concepts so far but it takes even more work than those to make this even if in a rough version so far

"the working class knows exactly how it's being fucked over, it just doesn't have the resources to fight back" yes that's why the republican party has no membership in poor rural areas. that's why working class neighborhoods are never saturated with reactionary churches. "imagined relations to a real set of conditions" is only for the bourgeoisie
