Verizon To Roll Out 5G Technology To Los Angeles In Q4 2018

5G is expected to be the next step in our mobile internet technology and will eventually replace 4G. However like we saw with 4G, the roll out of the tech will no doubt take a while before it covers everyone, but the good news is that for those living in Los Angeles, Verizon has confirmed that they will be rolling out 5G technology to the area in Q4 2018.

This is according to a press release on Verizon’s website in which they confirmed their plans. However it should be noted that this isn’t 5G mobile technology, but rather it will be fixed internet that uses 5G technology. This is presumably the same concept behind AT&T’s 5G Evolution which involves placing hotspots in cities based on 5G internet.

This shouldn’t be surprising since at the moment there are pretty no phones or tablets that support 5G. Chances are we might only start to see such devices in 2019 and we have already been hearing reports that companies such as Samsung and Apple are working to develop 5G technology that can be used in future smartphones.

In a statement made by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti in response to Verizon’s plans, “Innovation, hard work and creativity are the foundation of Los Angeles, and that’s why we are proud to partner with Verizon to be one of the first cities in America to start building their 5G network for businesses and residents, which will open doors to opportunity and inspire the next generation of tech leaders and entrepreneurs.”

Face ID In The Future Could Include Vein Scanning On A User’s Face

At the moment Apple’s Face ID feature works pretty much as intended and seems to be pretty hard to fool. However it doesn’t mean that it is perfect, but if a recently published patent is anything to go by, it seems that in the future Face ID could be made more accurate/secure.

According to the patent (via AppleInsider), it describes how Face ID could be improved on in the future where instead of just scanning the user’s face, it could also be used to scan the veins in the user’s face. This will be done with the use of an optical transmitter that will emit multiple pulses of infrared light and reflect off the user’s veins, which we suppose is similar in concept to how the Apple Watch measures the wearer’s heart rate.

Apple notes in the patent that vein-based authentication is more accurate due to the complexity of vein patterns. This means that it would be harder for someone to try and fake it. When Face ID was introduced, Apple claimed that they worked with mask makers to try and come up with ways to prevent Face ID from being fooled.

By scanning veins, it means that even a well-made mask will not be good enough to fool the system, and could also potentially be used to differentiate identical twins, an issue that Apple claims Face ID might fail at. In any case there’s no telling if Apple will introduce vein scanning to Face ID, but it does sound like it could be a useful upgrade.
