Real world 4G vs. 5G test shows 14x bandwidth increase

Has everyone settled on one 5G or will the 5G landscape in the US still be split between GSM 5G and CDMA 5G?

Qualcomm figured out that they make more money by patenting everything they can think of in 4G/5G and collecting that from everyone instead of selling their own hardware to a handful of operators who adopt their closed standard, so CDMA is dead (their "CDMA 4G" was never adopted by anyone, everything worldwide is LTE/"GSM 4G")

I didn’t know we’d already centralized. Thanks.

LTE is the next generation technology for both 3G (3GPP) and CDMA (3GPP2). Said another way: the merge already happened with LTE. So there's one continuation now, NR (New Radio) within 3GPP.

Everybody uses the same LTE in the United States.
