I was doing some research on mobile network evolution and came across the fact that 2G is still operational in some areas. It’s fascinating to think that older technologies like GSM are still being utilized for certain applications, especially rural or IoT use cases. Has anyone encountered any field examples of this in action?
I’ve definitely seen 2G used for tracking livestock in rural areas; it’s impressive how reliable it can be. Anyone else have similar examples?
It’s wild how 2G is still hanging around like that old pair of jeans you just can’t throw away. I’ve read it’s being used for simple IoT devices, like water meters in rural places. Anyone else seen any quirky uses for 2G lately, @emilyt_456?
Yeah, it’s surprising how 2G still supports things like smart meters… I wonder how much longer it’ll be around, though — any future phases planned to phase it out?
