This is a press release but 28 Ghz boggles my brain. When I started in this field 40+ years ago 10 Mhz was hard to do.
Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology (Tokyo Tech) and NEC Corporation jointly develop a 28-GHz phased-array transceiver that supports efficient and reliable 5G communications. The proposed transceiver outperforms previous designs in various regards by adapting fast beam switching and leakage cancellation mechanism.
With the recent emergence of innovative technologies, such as the Internet of Things, smart cities, autonomous vehicles, and smart mobility, our world is on the brink of a new age. This stimulates the use of millimeter-wave bands, which have far more signal bandwidth, to accommodate these new ideas. 5G can offer data rates over 10 Gbit/s through the use of these millimeter-waves and multiple-in-multiple-out (MIMO) technology--a technology that employs multiple transmitters and receivers to transfer more data at the same time.
With phased array beamforming it seems they no longer need to track your phone. All they need to do is see where the beam points.

I couldn't care less about augmented reality or Times Square, but doing it definitely beats masturbating.

Does this one evolve on the platonic solid wavelengths, that are the same size as DNA, that allow the One World Order to generate COVID-19 out of said DNA?

And probably microwaves it too.
A new age of stupidity. This sounds like an advertisement. Improving technology does not change the world, it is how the technology is used. So what is the USE that will change things so much? Faster cat videos? Higher resolution Family Guy clips? Somehow people actually talking on cell phones will STILL sound like robots trying to fuck my ear.

I am sorry to remind you some old and unpleasant news: 4G at ~2GHz does this on a daily basis. 28GHz will just marginally improve the accuracy.
