I think things like commercial and high end home automation. And security stuff. I might be mistaken tho.

And it might sound like that’s old and out of date. But it stuck around cuz it was reliable.

I’d think this is a good thing then for that, less interference

They’ve been phasing it out for years.

Yeah, for sure. But I think we both know how some technology manages to stick around surprisingly long.

Even so, this is different. Spectrum use is a different animal from fax machines, COBOL and Windows CE.

eCall, alarm systems, elevators and many types of sensors.

2G should die though. You can use the frequencies for 4G/5G to get better reception.

And if the thing depending on 2G has the space for it (like a car or an elevator) then the thing can be upgraded with hardware that supports 4G/5G.

…Unless the manufacturer is a dick and wants you to buy a whole new thing. I suspect that this will happen a lot.
