Librem 5 Phone Progress Report

I sincerely hope this project continues to forge ahead! But, I'm wondering if any thought is being given to the development of 5G devices by Purism, or is that milestone for the market still a ways off?

5G isn't even standardized, let alone having networks and devices ready for production. That's a ludicrous thing for the Librem 5 team to be concerned about.

Ludicrous? It was just a question guys...

In my own words:

Are there any 5G chipsets available for purchase in the quantaties Purism can afford?

Are there any networks around yet?

Estonia has one. https://www.ericsson.com/en/news/2017/9/5g-goes-live-in-the-...

And Verizon announced that they want to build 5G networks in up to 5 US cities this year. https://www.verizon.com/about/news/verizon-launch-5g-residen...
