In the end, is human demand driving scientific and technological progress, or is the change of technology driving people's needs? Let's take a look at the relevant content.
The PyeongChang Olympics introduced the 5G communication network for the first time, mainly in three aspects, namely Sync View, Omni Point View and TIme Slice. But the game made every Chinese look wrong. However, after the closing ceremony, Beijing time was extremely happy for eight minutes, using high-tech to show "Welcome to the Great Wall to ski down," especially artificial intelligence.
MWC2018 In Barcelona, ​​it is clear that 5G and AI have become the highlights.
Of course, 5G also needs the layout of operators. Obviously, Chinese operators are updating step by step, and they have already got tickets early. Otherwise, there will be no US government jealous of China’s lead to nationalize the 5G network.
China Mobile: At least 500 5G base stations will be built in 2018. Q3 5G mobile phones will be available in 2019.
China Mobile is relatively quick in the three major operators, and the official news is also published.
In terms of testing, at the MWC2018 exhibition, it is publicly announced that the world's largest 5G trial network will be built in 2018. This year, 5G field tests will be conducted in five cities: Hangzhou, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Suzhou and Wuhan. Each city will build more than 100. 5G base station; 5G service and application demonstration will be carried out in 12 cities including Beijing, Chengdu and Shenzhen.
In terms of the core network, China Mobile Datang Telecom, Ericsson, Huawei, Intel, Nokia Bell, ZTE, the world's first 5G core network pre-commercial products, and announced "5G SA breakthrough action."
In terms of R&D standards, China Mobile has taken the lead in realizing the end-to-end intercommunication of the world's largest base stations, terminal chips and test instruments based on the 3GPP new air interface standard, and strives to complete 5G SA as planned in June 2018 with industry partners. A complete version of the standard.
In terms of terminals, China Mobile and 20 global terminal industry partners jointly launched the “5G Terminal Pioneer Program†at the GTI International Industry Summit.
According to the “5G Terminal Pioneer Plan†timetable: In 2017, China Mobile has already cooperated with partners to carry out technical standards development and terminal test plan. In the past, the product needs have been confirmed; 2018-2019, “5G Terminal Pioneer Plan†Focusing on FPGA-based prototypes, by the fourth quarter of 2018, the first 5G chips that meet China Mobile's needs will be available. The first batch of 5G pre-commercial terminals will be released in the first half of 2019, and the first batch of 5G smartphones will be launched in the third quarter of 2019. At the same time, the program will conduct terminal-friendly user testing from 2019 to 2020, during which China Mobile will release its 5G terminal standards and 5G terminal white papers, eventually 5G commercial terminals will be introduced to the market by 2020.
China Unicom: major scale test in 2018
China Unicom has submitted applications for 5G trials in 7 cities including Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Nanjing and Xiong'an to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. He also said that in the future, according to the requirements of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the National Development and Reform Commission, the number of pilot cities will be increased.
It is reported that the field construction of Shanghai and Shenzhen has been completed, and the verification of 5G prototype laboratories of Huawei, ZTE and Nokia and the verification of some field performances have also been completed.
For Unicom's development plan for 5G networks: In 2018, 5G scale testing will be conducted, including 5G commercial equipment, laboratory verification and field trials. In 2019, 5G will be pre-commercialized, expanding the scale of testing, adding more cities, and more sites. China Unicom has the determination and confidence to officially commercialize 5G when the industry chain matures in 2020.
China Telecom: 2018 field-scale experiment in several major cities in 2018
Previously, China Telecom had launched 5G pilots in six cities including Xiong'an, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Suzhou, Chengdu and Lanzhou.
Therefore, China Telecom plans to conduct medium-scale field trials in several major cities across the country in 2018, fully preparing for the commercialization of 5G in 2019 and subsequent commercial scale.
Moreover, China Telecom will continue to cooperate with network equipment manufacturers and chip manufacturers and explore in depth. For example, in augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), tactile Internet, car networking, wireless communication applications, drones, power grids, etc., China Telecom will conduct a wide range of research and experimentation.
The day before yesterday, China Telecom and Huawei jointly announced the establishment of the Business Joint Innovation Center (BJIC) to jointly create differentiated innovative products and solutions to bring more extreme information and communication service experience to users. Gao Tongqing, deputy general manager of China Telecom, said that the early stage of joint innovation focused on four major business directions: smart home, cloud network convergence, Internet of Things, 5G, etc. In the next few years, it will expand into more fields according to industry demand and technology development.
