Hi Telco nerds!

It's looking like 3GPP is shifting away from faster networks and into networks that are programmable, energy-budgeted platforms.

Anybody doing experiments with components where power is transmitted by a transport provider? Ambient IoT sounds like a classic 3GPP proposal that utterly fails because every time they publish, nobody follows on with legitimate investment. Am I too cynical?

Their portal gave me a warm feeling of internet nostalgia Also the file claiming to be PDF while actually being DOCX is pretty amusing

I really like the improvements to satelite connectivity, brings us one step closer to a future where LEO broadband like Starlink/OneWeb is a commodity

I suddenly remember transferring 3GPP videos off of my Nokia back in the day.
3gpp is sets of standards and teleco infra. highly advanced stuff. not just video
Surprised to see 3GPP Release work on HN. Given I tried many times in the past decade to get it on front-page without success.

Still a lot of work to be done. National Security and COVID has basically delayed a lot of 5G Network improvement Rollout by 3-4 years. This is a long time for technology that has a mainstream life span of roughly 10 years.

5G SA has barely rolled out. The capacity improvement hasn't been great for various different reasons. And with Apple now making their own modem and not in a hurry to support latest 3GPP Releases the 5G-Advance roll out in the future is looking not as good as many have hoped.

May be, they will finally get it right with 6G.
