As we all know, we are about to usher in the 5G era, faster network speeds and more efficient use of the experience will affect every user, and just during the recent 2018 Communications Fair, the IMT-2020 (5G) Promotion Group formally announced the results of the third phase of the test of China's 5G technology research and development test, the five major system-level equipment vendors are involved in the domestic 5G network testing and construction.
Huawei, ZTE, Ericsson, Nokia, and China's CITIC Group all participated in the 5G test work, and it's worth noting that Samsung, as the sixth system equipment vendor, also participated in the third phase of NSA testing, but the results were a bit embarrassing.
In the NSA core network, 3.5GHz, 4.9GHz, IoDT, R16 test Zhongwei all tested, at the same time, China's CITIC Group and ZTE are all complete non-independent grouping of 3.5/4.9GHz band test content, while Ericsson only completed the non-independent grouping of the network and the 3.5GHz band test content, Nokia is in the NSA outfield group network Testing has not been completed.
Additionally, Samsung's appearance this time is a bit surprising, only in the 3.5GHz radio frequency completed a small-scale test. It's worth noting that Samsung overtook ZTE to become the world's fourth-largest communications equipment vendor in the second quarter of this year.
Key technology verification, technology program verification and system network verification are the three stages of domestic 5G technology research and development, which is currently being promoted in an orderly manner in the country, and as can be seen from the above chart, Huawei, as a globally renowned communications equipment service provider and equipment supplier, has already been at the forefront of the country and even the world.
China's 5G technology research and development test has begun as early as January 2016, 2016 to 2018, mainly for 5G technology research and development test, 2019 to 2020 will launch 5G product research and development test, and for the user, we can get the earliest in the first half of 2019 5G cell phone, and is from the chip to the radio frequency are supportive of the 5G network cell phone. Instead of the previous Moto Z3 only equipped with 5G radio frequency module "pseudo 5G phone".
