Any type of radio frequency interference from any source in the 2.4ghz, 5ghz, and 6ghz (6E) bands will impact performance of a wireless signal. The real consideration are those conditions. Wi-Fi 6E can even exceed 2Gbit/s of true throughput in ideal conditions. This is a great question, Adam! Wi-Fi 6/AX is capable of breaking the gigabit threshold in true throughput. 5GBase-T would also work, as would 10GBase-T but this could also become cost prohibitive as these Ethernet adapters are not as ubiquitous as Gigabit Ethernet because there is rarely a need for a single device to need more than Gigabit throughput. You would want to find a USB-A (not C) 3.1 2.5GBase-T Ethernet adapter, or faster. Since Microsoft puts Gigabit Ethernet on the Xbox series X, it may not work with USB adapters, but then again, it may. With all of that said, this would be an interesting experiment. The real intent, of which, is to have monster amounts of bandwidth available to many users with high bandwidth needs under one roof rather than one person saturating that entire connection. Chances are you wouldn’t see much faster downloads, either, as I suspect Microsoft’s servers are going to load balance and max out on their side well below what your bandwidth is capable of with our 2Gig service. Stability and very low latency, also attributes of Frontier Fiber, are far more important. In fact, the amount of bandwidth needed while playing a game is really quite low. Let me first start by saying there is really no reason to do this, but it may be fun to try! For gaming, increased bandwidth beyond the 950Mbps you would get from Gigabit Ethernet would provide no observable difference when it comes to in-game performance. Uncertain about what 5G is? The video below, published in 2018, provides an overview of the basics.Hi Oswald, this is a great question. Telenor believes that Svalbard, with its glaciers, mountains, fjords and tundra, is just the right place for this, explaining that it provides the “ideal location for testing its new technology.” And likely the next as well. But, if the technology to live up to its promise, network operators must be able to provide stable connections, regardless of climate or terrain. One of the technology’s big selling points is that it allows a high rate of data transfer, allowing things like cars, household appliances and scientific equipment to communicate with each other. More important for Telenor as it tests its 5G network, however, will be Svalbard’s natural features. Longyearbyen, Svalbard’s main settlement, for example, is compact, and it has about 100 businesses of varying sizes and internet needs. Svalbard has several advantages that make it an attractive place to test mobile and internet services. A sign on the Svalbard coast where the fibre-optic cable to mainland enters the water warns ships not to cast anchor. “Extreme weather conditions in remote locations populated by a small but industrious community makes Svalbard a dream test case for 5G,” Sigve Brekke, the president and CEO of Telenor Group, said in a statement. Now, the next big thing in internet technology is 5G, and Telenor is again planning to use Svalbard, together with nine other parts of Norway, as a proving ground before it introduces the service to customers in the eight countries in which it operates, likely next year. Such speeds are still zippy for a place as remote as Svalbard, but the rest of the world has caught up faster than expected currently, the global average for broadband connections is 69 Mbps, according to the Speedtest Global Index Norway, according to the same survey, now connects at an average speed of 112 Mbps.ĤG, likewise, has long been the standard way for smartphones to connect to the internet. They also enabled 4G mobile telephone service.Īt a time when internet speeds averaged 18 Mbps globally, Svalbard, experts reckoned, was at least a decade ahead of the rest of the rest of the world. The cables made it possible to reach average internet connections of 50 megabits per second in and around Longyearbyen, Svalbard’s main settlement. (Einar Jenssen)īack in 2014, when the Norwegian telecom company Telenor finished laying fiber-optic cable in Svalbard, it temporarily placed the territory at the frontier of internet technology.
