4hw.com.cn: with the progress of the times and the innovation of science and technology, 4G has been unable to meet people's needs. The 5g era is coming. Recently, 5g standard has been released. Let's have a look at it.
Some basic characteristics of 5g are fast network speed, low delay, high reliability and large connection.
According to the 5g terminal guide released by China Mobile, the 5g experience rate is over 100 trillion, about 10 times that of 4G. The 5g pilot field test conducted by China Telecom in xiong'an new area at the end of last year can increase 5g by about 20 times compared with the existing peak experience of 4G users.
What can be brought to users?
China Mobile said that an intuitive change is to significantly enhance the mobile Internet business experience. For example, you can simulate skiing at home without leaving home, but it's just like skiing.
Some Ultra HD Movie blockbusters can be watched online without a "shell".
In particular, live video may usher in a second outbreak. According to some telecom operators, the industry scenarios such as live video and telemedicine consultation have the basic access requirements of 5g network.
By then, the video representation will be more diversified. It is understood that 4K video needs about 25mbps of network speed and 3D video about 50Mbps. With 5g, it's all right.
Another company said 8K video in the context of 5g technology research. 8K is still something that people haven't seen, but in the age of 5g, it may become a reality.
In addition, VR / AR, UAV and other technologies seem to be cutting-edge now. In the age of 5g, they are basic businesses, applied to multiple scenarios, and belong to general applications.
Looking forward to the future, Internet of things or full explosion
All things will come together. Some telecom operators told CNIC that the real-time monitoring of automatic driving requires a millisecond delay; the delay of automobile production and industrial machine equipment processing and manufacturing requires a ten millisecond delay, and the availability requirement is close to 100%. Only 5g network can meet these requirements well.
According to relevant statistics quoted by China Mobile, at the end of 2017, the number of things connected reached 8.7 billion globally, with more than 8 billion people connected.
GSMA think tank forecasts that by 2025, China will have 430 million 5g connections, accounting for one third of the global total, and become the world's largest 5g market; the number of 5g connections in Asia will reach 675 million, which will exceed half of the global 5g expected total.
It is also possible for telecom operators to usher in another historical development opportunity after voice and traffic consumption. All three operators said they would look for opportunities in 5g and vertical industry IOT applications.
How about the price of 5g traffic?
In 2013, when 4G was just launched, netizens had the story that "4G is not closed overnight, and the house belongs to telecom operators". When 5g comes, will the traffic be very expensive? After all, it's the mobile internet society, and all mobile Internet users will care about this problem.
Xiang Ligang, an expert in the communication industry, thinks that the traffic price is measured by the technical level of the base station. In the 2G era, a base station has only 2MB traffic, so the cost of 1G traffic is 10000 yuan; in 3G, 1g traffic is 500 yuan, which dropped to more than 100 yuan in 2014; 4G traffic is basically about 30 yuan, and now it's 23 yuan. There's still room for decline.
"At 5g, the price of 1G traffic may be 1 yuan or 50 cents. Xiang Ligang said.
If so, the flow is really 'cabbage price'.
According to the latest data from the Ministry of industry and information technology, in May 2018, the average household mobile Internet access traffic (Dou) reached 3.97gb. If it is calculated by 5 gross 1GB, the monthly traffic fee for each person is only 2 yuan. But at that time, the per capita monthly consumption of traffic may be calculated on the basis of hundreds of GB, and your phone bill still costs dozens of yuan.
Fu Liang, an independent Telecom analyst, told CNET that the costs of 5g devices, frequency bands and terminals are uncertain, so it is difficult to accurately predict the price of 5g traffic. "The price of 5g per Gigabyte is expensive, but on average, it should be cheaper than that. '
The 5g era is likely to be different from the 4G era in terms of billing, and will usher in a new way of billing. "For example, for smart watches, online service fees may have been packaged in the price of watches, or a service fee of 10 yuan per year is required, or the watch will include a service fee of 2 years after purchase. '
'the operator may develop a scenario based directional traffic charging mode, which only requires the application manufacturer to negotiate with the telecom operator, and the operator will vigorously support rich media, such as online HD video applications. 'said Fu Liang.
When is 5g mobile available?
As long as the service is up to standard and the traffic fee is more, it doesn't matter. There are such a group of people who want to eat 'crabs' as early as possible.
The reporter noticed that anxious netizens were already asking when they could use 5g mobile phones. The latest news, I'm afraid it will be as early as the third quarter of next year.
After the 5g global standard was determined, mobile phone manufacturers announced that they would launch 5g mobile phones next year. According to incomplete statistics, vivo, oppo and Huawei all said that they would launch 5g mobile phones in 2019. Some chip manufacturers also say they are developing chips that meet the 5g standard.
In fact, any mobile phone manufacturer that pursues something will not miss the 5g opportunity. The subsequent release of 5g mobile phones is almost inevitable. The key is who can take the lead in the market.
China Mobile revealed that the first batch of 5g chips will arrive at the end of 2018, the first batch of 5g terminals will appear in the first quarter of 2019, and 5g smart phones will appear in the third quarter of 2019.
What about the price of 5g Mobile? According to China Mobile, it depends on the cost of 5g terminal chip, R & D cost and product form.
From the historical experience, 5g mobile phones in the early stage must be expensive. If you want 5g mobile phones, please prepare the silver first.
Which cities will take the lead in experiencing 5g? These cities have carried out or conducted 5g experiments this year.
China Mobile will carry out field tests in five cities: Hangzhou, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Suzhou and Wuhan. Each city will build more than 100 5g base stations. It will also conduct 5g business and application demonstration in 12 cities, including Beijing, Chengdu and Shenzhen.
China Telecom has launched 5g pilot projects in xiong'an, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Suzhou, Chengdu and Lanzhou.
China Unicom has carried out 5g scale tests in Beijing, xiong'an, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Tianjin, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, Wuhan, Shenyang, Qingdao, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Fuzhou, Guiyang and Zhengzhou.
If you have to find a weakness, it is that in the 5g era, you still have to use 4G network to make a phone call, just like in the 4G era, you may still use 2G or 3G network when you make a phone call. So some operators say that 4G and 5g networks will coexist in the future.
