5.5G, does that mean it has AI built in to the mind control magnetism or whatever? 🤡🤣

Has anyone here been in a situation where they thought “man, 4g sure is slow. Hope they roll out 5g soon”? I guess they need a feature to put on the box, otherwise people might think their current phone is good enough.

The actually relevant bit:

Anyway, 5G-Advanced is a marketing name for 3GPP Release 18. This includes “non-terrestrial networks”, i.e. using satellites as network cells

First I’ve heard of 5.5G, is this just a thing in China or is it related to the satellite connectivity stories we’ve seen popping up from a few other manufacturers this year?
