Millions of smart meters will fail when 2G and 3G turns off

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Nice thought, but 5g does not have the same range.
5g low band actually does, they have down to 600mhz bands which are crazy low with tons of noise shaping, mimo, beamforming and other stuff to potentially bump the snr.
They're looking to add 400mhz bands for even more range, but the low bands have less capacity.
