I remember this one popping up on LinkedIn. I pointed out that 5G or not, speed of light is a thing and makes this claim unlikely. People called me names…
the speed of light mostly irrelevant at that distance, ping time from London to California is about 300 ms. wouldn't be great for gaming but i doubt it would cause issues with a robotic surgery.
Even if this "surgery" took place in California, and the "surgeon" was the UK, and 5G was involved, wouldn't it still via fiber? I feel like I'm missing something with these claims, are they saying they'll use 5g at the nodes, instead of some other wireless tech?
In the UK they will happily claim it is "Fiber Optic internet" if there is a bit of glass somewhere in the connection, anywhere, including windows on the building.
Yes. For anything this critical there’s probably multiple fiber connections and a backup on site surgeon.
