Foreign media analysis said that at the upcoming World Mobile Communications Conference, wireless operators are actively selling the fifth-generation mobile communication technology (5G) while waiting for the new trend of smartphone development. The following is a summary of the article:
While US carriers are still scrambling to launch uncapped data packages to promote their proud 4G network, the annual communications industry event focuses on the future.
The 2017 Mobile World Congress will open in Barcelona, ​​Spain on the 27th. The number of participants will exceed 100,000, and 5G will be the key word of this conference. However, for the average consumer, 5G is still a concept that cannot be fully understood, and it will take several years for real commercial use.
It is normal for American Apple not to participate in the World Mobile Communications Conference, but another heavyweight conference will be absent this year. In the past three years, South Korea's Samsung Electronics has been releasing its latest flagship smartphone through the World Mobile Communications Conference. Samsung Electronics, which suffered a huge setback due to the recall last year, plans to launch a new generation of flagship models later next month.
In recent years, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of social networking Facebook, has been attending the World Mobile Communications Conference and delivered important speeches to attendees, often easing the tension between Internet companies and telecom operators. . This year, the keynote speech was from Reed HasTIngs, CEO of online video rental provider Netflix. In today's video-driven mobile data era, Hastings is an advocate of network neutral regulation. Network neutrality requires broadband providers to treat all Internet traffic equally. However, the newly appointed Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman, Ajit Pai, is critical of this regulation.
Operators are advocating 5G testing speed is very amazing, US mobile operator AT&T expects 5G speed to be 10 to 100 times that of the current 4G network. However, the first standard for 5G will be determined at least until next year.
However, 5G has entered the implementation phase. South Korea will hold the Winter Olympics next year, and Korea Telecom (KT) has confirmed that it will use 5G technology at the Winter Olympics, but the real 5G deployment may have to wait until 2020.
Jan Dawson, principal analyst at market research firm Jackdaw Research, said: "It's inevitable to talk about 5G in large numbers. However, most of the time it's just about marketing and positioning."
Last week, AT&T and Verizon CommunicaTIons presented their latest 5G test results in a high-profile manner, using the devices they built by Nokia and Ericsson. AT&T's test results in the lab reached 14GB per second, and it decided to test it later this year. Verizon said it will offer 5G home broadband to consumers in 11 US markets in the middle of the year.
For some companies seeking better opportunities in the mobile market, positioning is more important. Intel, which has long relied on PC sales, values ​​this opportunity. At an analyst meeting earlier this month, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich mentioned "5G" on 19 different occasions.
Kozianik said: "If we do not develop 5G now, I think that after 18 months, we will no longer be in the leadership position."
Unlike previous upgrades in the networking industry, 5G technology will bring the network closer to users. The 5G uses a smaller antenna that can be mounted on a lamppost instead of a large tower, reducing the signal transmission distance. This shift requires a lot of infrastructure. Accenture, a management consultancy, expects light US carriers to spend $275 billion to deploy 5G over the next seven years.
In addition to faster transfer speeds, 5G will reduce latency or increase communication speed between devices, enabling near-simultaneous response, which is critical for driverless applications.
US cable operators believe that the introduction of 5G in their large-area network will be a development opportunity. Tom Rutledge, chief executive of cable operator Charter CommunicaTIons, said at a recent conference call: "With the establishment of new standards such as 5G, our network represents the way of communication in the future. It’s getting more and more obvious."
The industry expects that the construction of the future network may lead to a merger between the telecommunications and media industries. For example, Verizon showed its willingness to acquire Charter, which may affect the 5G strategy of the two companies.
Blair Levin, a former FCC official responsible for the 2010 NaTIonal Broadband Plan, said: “What will the world be like after the next wave of mergers and acquisitions? Technology is important, but market structure It is also very important." (Compile / Li Lu)
