At the end of last year The city administration and China slotxo Mobile (the country's largest mobile carrier) have been planning to deploy 5G hotspots for more than 10 kilometers since September 2018. Driver and stuff Surrounding the 5G signal wave is sent from the car's sensors. According to the device placed on the shoulder And surveillance cameras installed on the pole To be transported to a data center for analysis and sent back to that vehicle to help it drive safely.

So how can 5G do that? The 5th generation wireless communication system is not the same as the previous generation. That usually comes with only a few features in each model (1G - lets us talk on cell phones, 2G - lets us message each other, 3G - has internet, 4G - lets us see video and audio). But with 5G, the possibility is to connect everything on the planet.

Using a technology called high frequency Millimeter Waves And the wavelength is shorter than 4G, the speed of 5G is almost 100 times higher than it is now, so that there is almost no delay and lag, it will make IoT (Internet of Things) interesting again They're designed to connect millions of devices inside the house, machines outside. And various sensors Using a lot less energy as well

The Chinese government knows and understands this very well. The 13th Five-Year Economic and Social Development Plan (2016 - 2020) states that 5G is a 'strategic and exciting industry' and 'an area of ​​development and growth' and 'Made in China'. 2025 '(where they set out to be the world leader in manufacturing), vowed to 'There has been great progress in the fifth generation of wireless communication systems'.

It must not be said that our Chinese brother is very intent on making 5G possible. Not just in a small area But on the world stage that has it all So what does that mean?

Why do you have to spend so much for 5G?
This honor and dignity certainly exist. China sees 5G as an opportunity to become the global leader in wireless technology. Europe led 2G in the 90s and Japan followed by 3G in 2000 and then America, which dominated 4G since 2011, but now China is leading everyone in science and technology. Communication Not chasing after as before

In an interview with Jianzhou Wang, a former China Mobile executive on the development of China's 1G to 5G communications industry, said: “It's a step from getting nothing. Until something happened From small to large And from weak to strength "

Money may be another reason that is unavoidable. The Chinese government sees 5G as an important economic and technological engine. Year after year that they follow the Made in China counterfeit products, Chinese companies want to become Apple or Microsoft, because their value brings huge sums of money.

The China Academy of Information and Communications Technology (CAICT) predicted that 5G will create more than 8 million jobs by 2030, led by energy and health businesses to spend huge sums of money to lead. Bring devices connected to 5G to increase the efficiency of work within the organization during the period.

So how are they going to make it happen?
The government regulates all three mobile network operators (China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom) and has been 'supporting' (or in other words, directing) to all three. 5G networks have been deployed over time in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, with China Mobile saying just their tests this time. Is now the world's largest test

Under the guidance of the government These companies have started researching 5G in 2013 and have actually started experimenting in 2016. Chris Lane, an analyst at investment management firm Sanford C. Bernstein, explains, “China operators are of the same opinion. Their job is to comply with government regulations. Where other service companies The world waits only to try to find a balance between battling with competitors in the market. And developing at the same time, thus making the development a slower rhythm. "

Another advantage of mobile operators in China Is a matter of rules and regulations No need to worry about whether this city will allow it or not. The use of technology like this incurs fines. Or what additional costs? Just the government ordered that it had to be done Everything can start immediately.

So what will they use it for?
First of all, we should have seen smart cities and autonomous cars on the road. An interesting example is the city.

Song An (Xiong’an), the new city It was built by the Chinese government about 130 kilometers south of Beijing. China Mobile and China Telecom have successfully put their systems there. Big companies like Baidu have started using the network to broadcast live virtual reality events, and in Fangshan where autonomous cars have been introduced that can be used for broadcasting events.
