That sounds like a WIFI company we have here boasting the most BS I have
seen in a while. So, happy to get sloppy seconds after customer had
their fill .

The average consumer has no clue what any of the following terms mean,
despite spending a lot of money on them:
WiFi, 4G, 5G, LTE, modem, router, satellite, server
And the industry is happy to keep them stupid, for example defining
“unlimited” as “throttled after 22 GB”. The latest I saw is Qualcomm
wanting people to think their phones will soon have gigabit download
speeds. Mobile carriers of course don’t sell speed plans, they sell
data plans, and manufacturers like Qualcomm conflate sector capacity
with end user speed. As well as neglecting to explain that all that
unlicensed spectrum will only be used for urban small cells, not the
celltower 5 miles from your house in the country.

Now the first wifi is called 5G. And who is the marketing winner: mimosa.
But of course air-„fiber“ is not bad, too.
Both companies should move some sales guys to the engineering staff to
make their
Ptmp wifi gear gps work before claiming the next big thing.
