It’s quite depressing to see countries planning to launch 5G services in the next 3-4 years while we are still struggling with our 4G speed and data plans and of course the lousy DSL. I was lucky enough to access Ericsson’s huge booth at the MWC2015 thanks to a friend and got to see what a 5G connection looks like. We are talking about a speed hundreds of times faster than the 4G, reaching over 5000 mbits/s. Samsung has been doing some 5G tests as well and it looks like South Korea might be the first countries to adopt it.
Technology has a huge impact on every country’s development and needs to be handled more seriously in Lebanon. The technological gap between Lebanon and the UAE has already become a huge one and it will take many years to catch up. Of course I am not talking about implementing 5G but at least enhancing and expanding our 4G network and completing the switch to fiber optics ASAP.
This is a mobile by the way
khallion ymasho l 3g 2abel bl Hadat. I work in Hadat, when i reach my job if there is no wifi i will be out of internet connection (knowing that i have a HTC 4g) and without even a proper line to call 🙂
It’s better so u don’t text and drive :p
its been almost a year and he did NOTHING, i haven seen a SINGLE tweet or announcement about lebanon’s DSl and mobile internet from the current minister other than political opinions things only
plus he increased speeds and lowered DSL prices without thinking that the network cant handle such speeds bravol 3aleh
you just cant keep comparing Lebanon to UAE haha, ,they are two different things. Lebanon is heaven on Earth, with a bunch of rednecks and stonage technology. UAE is a desert with the latest in everything from architecture, transportation, business & finally technology. They are the first hub for all new tech in the middle east, including the most glorious imported brands. I dont think its going to time to “catch up”, its not like we’re inventing fiber optics, they just need to implement, they need to be serious. There more people in Leb, the city mapping is meh :P, more/new circuits to build but we’ve become experts at this, look at all the electricity lines you as you pass the streets of beirut. But seriously internet is freedom, people will get download movies fast, watch different stuff, see other interests.. instead of watching political rubbish all day.
Catch up means implement and allow companies to improve and enhance their work. We have to compare as we are in the same region
btw this might our savior after all fails https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFGW2sZsUiQ
I still haven’t switched my line from 3G to 4G because if I do that my 300MB monthly quota will vanish in few days. 300MB is still too low compared to other countries where the minimum is 3 GB in other countries. If it is too hard to enhance the mobile internet speed, let them at least increase the quotas.
Lebanon is a poor country and indeveloped one also. 5g is like a dream because 4g is not yet available on all cell phones and lot of regions don’t have 3g. We all wish to have a 5g in our country because it will help us in our busines. In addition let the governement choose a president to lebanon and stop the violence we are living in before giving us the chance to have a 5g internet. As a coclusion 5g in lebanon is a dream that all lebanese dream of it.
