Jacksonville, FL | Lots of dead batteries & no backhaul Any smartphone using LTE as a data source supporting a 42/5 will have a dead battery in minutes. The juice required to support that much I/O, especially TCP packet processing, data I/O to a flash card or other internal memory will overwhelm the current small battery technology.
Clearly some kind of stepped speeds will have to be implemented to maintain device battery life.
If they are skimping on infrastructure spend today, do you really think they are going to shell out to upgrade the backhaul to support multiple users at 42/5. Hardly!
I anticipate phased rollouts of speeds until the mobile devices catch up with batteries and the backhaul can support the user counts. |
