5Geee

Regular reader may recall that these missives mused that mmWave 5G wouldn't ever really exist. The physics of the spectrum make it physically impossible, Verizon's bloviating not withstanding. Yes, you can watch that football game in front of you in the stadium on your smartphone, but is that all there is? Yup.

Today, likely not for the first time, I saw/heard a '5G UltraWide Band' advert in the last few minutes. What??? So, off to the Verizon site; what equipment??? Well, here it is:

Your 5G Home Internet equipment setup (i.e., indoor, outdoor) depends on your location's 5G signal strength. If your setup is:
Indoors: We use the 5G Internet Gateway as an all-in-one router and receiver.
Outdoors: We use the 5G Internet Gateway as your outdoor receiver and the Verizon Router is used Indoors.
Note: A Wi-Fi extender may be recommended if needed.

Sounds like just what I told you would be needed: a transceiver on your roof, and lots of wifi in the house.

You really need to read the whole page. Not the Nirvana that 5G was promised. You can't fool Mother Nature.
