This is a process that inevitably ends with a retirement of the technology with an end-of-life or end-of-service announcement from service providers. Cellular networks are no exception, and 2G and 3G retirement dates have already been set by most U.S. mobile service providers.

Many of the fundamentals are still valid, but given the explosive growth in IoT, .we thought it time for an update on some of the more recent developments in the field.

Since early 2020, we’ve been hearing more and more about 5G services being rolled out. Every day, a greater number of telcos around the world are marketing and deploying them. This, then, begs the question: what is the real status of 5G deployment today? Can I truly enjoy all that 5G promises simply because I have a 5G icon in the status bar of my smartphone? We examine these questions and more in this article to get a feel for what’s available now and what you can expect in the future.

However, 5G is not all about delivering high bitrates to smartphones. In actuality, other areas of application will benefit most from the proliferation of this innovative technology. In this article, we take a deeper look at some of these applications and how they are poised to change the way we work, play, and communicate.

We examined how technologies such as [LTE](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/lte-technologies-at-the-service-of-wisps), [MPLS](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/how-mpls-can-benefit-your-wisp-infrastructure), and [cloud services](https://info.teledynamics.com/blog/how-and-why-wisps-can-leverage-cloud-technologies) are being employed to supplement WISP offerings. But the innovation doesn’t stop there. There are a multitude of other technologies, protocols, and innovations that are being incorporated to bring about a new age of the WISP.
