That of 5G, another «G» for our brand new collection after those of Point G, Men G ... and G8

It is striking the importance that is having in our lives-at least, in that of those who comb gray hair-the letter G, that has marked entire generations.In the seventies, the series Commando G woke up the children of lethargy caused by cartoons coming from Eastern countries (bad vibes); in the eighties, Point G and Los Hombres G marked the first love experiences of those same children, already teenagers, and their clueless parents; and, for not lengthening us, in our days the 5G will realize the promise of total connectivity in a world riddled with networks. In all times, that is why the powerful gentleman is Don Dinero, the The most important G has been that of the G8.The case is that, finally, there has been the auction of the new licenses for the use of radioelectric spectrum necessary for the development of future mobile networks and the result is that the three main Spanish telecommunications operators already have the necessary shoes to start running in this race into the future. Among all of them, Orange is the best equipped to start this competition, because it has 10 MHz more than its rivals in the 3.6 GHz band, a priority to offer 5G services.

the G-spot of future communications

Beyond what the future holds for us thanks to 5G technology, which is like the excitable G-spot of the future of communications, the auction of the spectrum necessary for its development is already contributing to our most everyday present , since the coffers of the State have collected from Orange, Movistar and Vodafone a total of (not missing a decimal) 1,410,667,069.11 euros. It is not surprising that the Ministry of Economy and Business has made a "very positive" assessment of the result of the auction of spectrum licenses for 5G.

As for how the distribution of this spectrum is, Orange has acquired 60 MHz for 132 million euros which, added to the 40 MHz that it already had in the low stretch of 3.5 GHz (3,400 MHz-3,600 MHz), make it the operator with the most spectrum in this band, identified as the main one for the introduction of 5G-based services in Europe.

Vodafone, the only one of the operators that lacked frequencies in the 3.5 GHz band, object of the bidding, has been the one that has acquired the most amount of spectrum, when it won 90 megahertz (MHz) for 198.1 million. Telefonica has acquired 50 MHz for which it has paid 107.4 million and already accumulates 90 MHz in that band, while MasMovil, which also bid, has not acquired frequencies in the tender and keeps the 80 MHz that it already had.

But what is 5G for?

Technology has its own terminology and, sometimes, citizens get lost in nomenclatures that throw us away from what is really important, what are all these advances? At Nobbot we have already spoken long and hard about 5G, but we don't mind repeating, because it's important.

As Laurent Paillassot explains, the CEO of Orange, a company that has taken advantage in the race to get the radioelectric spectrum necessary for the development of 5G, «is an evolution and, at at the same time, of a revolution: an evolution because it means still faster access to the Internet, greater speed, better access since we are multiplying speed by 100, and this will make possible the growth of virtual reality, of reality augmented and cloud computing. However, the revolution is more important because it will change the way people interact, live, enjoy and work, and the way companies manage their businesses.

and now the 5G pilots

Now, after clarifying the panorama of the spectrum that each operator has and for this G-spot to take effect in the future and make it more exciting, it's time to start the pilots on this technology. In any case there is no pressing rush since the promises of this technology-low latency, great speeds, a new ecosystem of connected objects, etc.-require, to become a reality, million-dollar investments by operators-it is estimated that more than 5,000 million, only in infrastructure, deployment and spectrum-that will have to deploy a network very capillary and virtualized.In addition, there are still to define technological standards and explore ways for the return of this investment, as explained by Manuel Sanchez Malagon , director of network planning at Orange Espana,

Internet of plants: a tomato knows as much about networks as you

The possibility of plant species communicating through complex networks, what some scientists have called the internet of plants , is an issue that has been discussed for a long time, at least 20 years.It was in 1997 when the scientist Suzanne Simard , from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver (Canada), published a study in the journal Nature on how Forest plants use complex systems where species exchange nutrients, send warning signals and relate to the environment. Although there is no scientific consensus, several investigations seem to support this hypothesis.If confirmed, as we read in a fascinating report by the Sinc Agency, the forests would act as huge structures that are articulated under the soil through a network in which factors invisible to the human eye interact and can determine the future of the climate.Understanding how it works is the challenge that even science faces. internet of plants and the wisdom of forests The premise of Suzanne Simard ...

New setbacks for conspiranoicos: radiofrequencies do not affect health

New evidence published by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Radio Frequency and Health (CCARS) in its 2016 Radio Frequency and Health Report indicates that there are no adverse health effects derived of exposure to radio frequencies emitted by mobile phone antennas or radio and television broadcasting.No evidence has been found on the danger in wireless systems (Wi-Fi) or airport scanners. The new 2016 Radio Frequency and Health Report collects, updates and analyzes the scientific evidence on the subject for the period between January 2013 and June 2016. radio frequencies are not dangerous According to the conclusions of the report " the critical analysis of the evidence supports that there are no technical or sanitary reasons that justify the arbitrary and discretionary imposition of more demanding exposure limits than those recommended by WHO-ICNIRP and the Union European ", while the application of more restrictive limits" would imply increasing the n...

Twitter shows the best of ourselves (it wasn't always going to be the worst)

In the era of social networks, accustomed to interact daily with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google or WhatsApp, we forget that these tools are phenomenal in the History of Humanity capable of mobilize hundreds of thousands of people in very different geographical locations in a matter of hours or even minutes. Already in the past, Twitter has asserted its more social dimension to mobilize people, companies or organizations and also, from a broader perspective, feelings of solidarity and support or also of rejection and repulses towards causes with an important mediatic impact.Recently, Twitter was once again the engine of solidarity after Dortmund's explosions as the Borussia Dortmund team bus passed on its way to the local stadium on the occasion of the Champions League match between the Borussia and the Monaco. These explosions did not have the devastating effect that they could have caused , so that everything remained in a major social commotion at international lev...

Most apps for children violate your privacy

Do you know if apps with which children enjoy their safety? A team of researchers from the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) of the University of Berkeley has studied compliance with the Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in these mobile applications for the little ones, through a scalable dynamic analysis that allows the automatic evaluation of privacy behaviors of Android apps. After studying 5,855 applications aimed at children, the research concludes that most of these apps, 57%, violate the privacy of their users mainly due to the use of data by third parties. apps for children and privacy Although many apps offer options in their configuration to respect the federal law that protects minors in the United States, by disabling tracking, their results suggest that a majority of applications either do not use these options or propagate them in wrong way. In addition, researchers believe that 19% of apps for children send user IDs to third parties to show ...

Are social networks damaging democracy?

The revelations according to which Russian agents inserted ads on Facebook that tried to influence the 2016 US elections raise a disturbing question: is Facebook bad for democracy? As an expert in the social and political repercussions of technology, I think that the problem is not exclusively from Facebook, but that it is much broader: Social networks are weakening some of the conditions that have historically enabled the existence of national states democratic. I understand that it is a dramatic statement, and I do not expect anyone to believe it immediately, but considering that almost half of all potential voters received false news promoted by the Russians in Facebook is an argument that must be debated. Associate Professor of Philosophy, Director of Center for Professional and Applied Ethics, University of North Carolina-Charlotte How we create a shared reality Let's start with two concepts: the "imagined community" and the "bubble filter". ...
