Most people now have a smartphone in their pocket, so when lots of us gather in places that are usually almost empty, it can make it hard to get coverage, as the existing mobile network can support only a limited number of devices.
It’s just one of the benefits of the new network technology, and will become increasingly important in the future as things like autonomous cars, internet of Things, and other staples of so-called “smart cities” become more commonplace and devices vie for space on the network.The increased connection capacity means you don’t have to fight against other fans trying to share video of their favourite band on Instagram or going live on Twitter to broadcast a game-winning shot at goal.
