Gristle Crüe Community Call — 5G Questions, Sensor Building

We got to catch up a bit this week on deploy­ment ques­tions on 5G. The Crüe shared news on how we’re think­ing about deploy­ing 5G units, what the risks & rewards might be, and a few nuances like map­pers & PoC. We also talked about a com­mu­ni­ty build project of Joey’s Air Qual­i­ty mon­i­tor, which should be fun (and a lit­tle homework!).
