Do you know what the historic moment of April was? That is that Mount Everest has 5G! Yes, you read it right, 5G network is really available on Mount Everest!
Recently China's three major telecom operators have announced one after another that they have achieved full coverage of 5G networks on Everest Observation Deck and Everest Base Camp, and this great moment will go down in history with 5G! There is 5G on Mount Everest, is the real 5G life still far away from us?
01 5G on Mount Everest, the roof of the world "within reach"
On April 24, China Mobile through the combination of 5G and cloud network, following the "cloud supervisors In China Mobile 5G network support high-definition low-latency picture, so that the roof of the world become "reachable".
The mountain peaks in the blue sky and white clouds, forming a beautiful picture. Slow live form so that ordinary people do not leave home, can be the best perspective to appreciate the majestic, magnificent top of the world in full view, sit and watch the sunrise and sunset, the clouds roll in and out, harvest immersive immersive feeling.
Who would have thought that the development of technology would allow us to be separated from the sacred Mount Everest by just a screen? 5G has done it, and it has really brought everyone closer to the distant and mysterious Mount Everest. At the same time, Everest 5G will also provide better network services for future mountaineering and scientific researchers, provide scientific information support for the development of Everest tourism, and show the world the wisdom of the future of China's 5G industry applications.
02 New Infrastructure Era, 5G Acceleration
In 2020, a sudden epidemic let us see the speed of 5G, in this national "war" epidemic action, everywhere you can see the figure of 5G: "5G telemedicine trolley", "5G telemedicine trolley", "5G telemedicine trolley" and "5G telemedicine trolley". 5G telemedicine trolley" helps experts in Vulcan Mountain Hospital to diagnose remotely, the nation's first 5G+Xin Guan Pneumonia Remote Consultation System provides remote medical assistance, and "5G+Thermal Imaging Human Body Temperature Measurement Informationization Platform" realizes automatic body temperature monitoring in various scenarios, The "5G cloud-based anti-epidemic robot" undertakes tasks such as consultation, disinfection and cleaning, and drug distribution in various wards.......
On March 4, in the offensive stage of epidemic prevention and control, the central government emphasized the need to accelerate the construction of 5G-led "new infrastructures", which will be used as the first step in the development of the new infrastructure. "5G has ushered in an important stage of rapid development, which will give a great impetus to the industrial economy and social life. 5G life is slowly coming to us:
When you wake up early in the morning, the lights in the bedroom are automatically turned on, and the curtains are automatically opened; accompanied by the sound of soft music, a cup of hot coffee is being presented to you The 5G is coming, the future of our life is like this! The previous tweet "Technology changes life: 5G is coming, the future of our life is like this!" had a detailed depiction of the 5G life blueprint.
So is 5G in the hands of ordinary people close at hand?
03 Are we far from 5G?
The full arrival of 5G life requires the maturity of three segments, mainly including the network side, terminal, and user side. Below, we analyze how far 5G is from us ordinary people from these 3 aspects.
1, the network side, that is, the 5G network construction progress of communications operators, mainly the construction of 5G base stations. As of the end of February 2020, the national construction and opening of 5G base stations amounted to 164,000, and it is expected that by the end of the year, the number of 5G base stations in the country will exceed 600,000.
What is the scale of this number? According to the theoretical derivation of 5G technology, to reach the current level of 4G coverage, the number of 5G base station demand at the level of ten million. So this year's network construction can only meet the key areas above the prefecture-level city coverage, is still far from the ordinary people to enjoy 5G coverage requirements at any time and anywhere.
In addition, the 5G core network is currently still NSA-based, 5G core network standard program SA is still in the test phase, and the killer 5G applications rely on SA core network support, the industry is expected to SA core network commercial nodes about the end of this year.
2, terminal maturity, mainly the development of the cell phone industry , this point has been developed rapidly enough.
5G from the official commercial so far only half a year, but in the equipment vendors to promote, 5G terminal prices all the way down, is expected to buy a phone in 2020 has been non-5G cell phone can not be, 5G cell phone prices are also expected to be reduced to the level of thousands of yuan, to achieve the real full popularity.
3, the user side of the application . Now we take a 5G cell phone, the best experience is probably to go to the place where there is 5G coverage to enjoy the pleasure of 2, 3 seconds to download a movie, and usually hear the 5G cool application "unmanned", VR, "telemedicine" seems to be related to the ordinary people. The first time I've seen this, I've seen a lot of it.
Indeed, because 5G high speed, low latency, wide connection characteristics are more for To B preparation, therefore, 5G is bound to be the first in the commercial power, as for the To C 5G explosion of personal application is still on the way, is expected next year, there will be more people amazing 5G industry applications landing.
5G will certainly realize our expectations for its change of society, but the beautiful blueprint of 5G is not overnight, in addition to the enthusiasm and expectation, but also need to work together, I believe that 5G to change each of us ordinary people's "cell phone life" this day will soon come!
