That sounds really rough, buddy, I know how you feel, and that project you’re working is really complicated.

interesting and highlights the dated nature of some of our technologies however your conclusion may be heavily localized, friend.

For example, traveling to Korea as a visitor, without a residency visa, you’re only able to get prepaid mobile services, which are only allowed on the 4G networks of all three carriers.

The 5G services are exclusively available for postpaid subscribers, the vast overwhelming majority of which are citizens, and many of which will still be on 4G-only handsets because of income and device reasons, despite a comprehensive 5G build-out that should be the end of much of the world.

So, targeting the 4G network for testing could still be informative in many places. Places with state-run news agencies, or places that receive internationally subsidized technology transfers for their self services, likely to have Huawei tower gear somewhere in their stack.
