Samsung (http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/14/samsung-5g-network-tests-oh-god-the-speed/)and Korean mobile carrier SK Telecom will use the show to demonstrate a new mobile data (http://www.engadget.com/2014/05/08/5g-now-in-trials-docomo-samsung-nokia/) system that'll reach of speeds up to 7.5Gbps (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/12/samsung-ready-for-5g-rollout/). Although the official 5G standard isn't yet defined, the pair are trying to elbow in on the act by calling the process "5G." Unfortunately, while that level of speed is thrilling, the technology behind it does come with a few "uhm," "ah," and "but" noises attached.
