# The Next Step in 5G: From Hawaii to Spain via Satellite
## Major Breakthrough Pointers:
– The first-ever **5G call** was made from Maui, Hawaii, to Madrid, Spain.
– Usual smartphones were used to make the call, making technology history.
– The call used **AT&T spectrum** and effective usage of **AST SpaceMobile’s BlueWalker 3** test satellite.
– The call was received by a **Vodafone engineer** in Madrid, marking the spanned collaboration.
### Further Explaining These Amazing Points:
How far we’ve come from smoke signals to making 5G calls spanning from Hawaii to Spain! This isn’t just your average, every day, smoke-ring-in-the-air type call either. We’re not just crossing the street here, or even state lines – we’re crossing oceans.
Utilizing the AT&T spectrum (because we love a good crossover), and the AST SpaceMobile’s BlueWalker 3 test satellite (which sounds like a Star Wars droid – bonus points), this call made its way all the way from the sun-soaked beaches of Maui to a presumably less sun-soaked engineer at Vodafone in Madrid.
As for the hot take, it’s absolutely bananas to think about how fast technology is progressing. Just a few years ago, we considered 5G as the stuff of Sci-Fi fantasies and now? We’re making international calls using it with the same nonchalance as ordering extra guac on a burrito. The future, it seems, as always, is right at our fingertips. Or in this case, at our smartphone-holding hands.
The digital revolution is not knocking at the door, it’s already walked in, kicked off its shoes, and is making a long-distance call from your living room. The real question now is: who will get the next 5G callee bragging rights? Will it be Elon Musk at Mars? Only time will tell!
