From February 23 to 25, the 2021 world mobile Conference (MWC) Shanghai Exhibition arrived as scheduled. MWC is a grand gathering of the global communication industry, which is held in Spain, Shanghai, China and Los Angeles of the United States every year. It was cancelled last year due to the impact of the epidemic, and this year it was the first to be under the return line of Shanghai. Despite the impact of the epidemic on the exhibition, the rapid growth of online demand during the period has catalyzed the development of the communication industry and digital technology.

The pace of global 5g continues to move forward. GSMA think tank released "China Mobile economic development report 2021". It is predicted that by the end of 2021, 5g network will cover one fifth of the world's population. By 2025, global operators will invest nearly $1 trillion in 5g networks. Among them, from 2020 to 2025, China's domestic mobile operators will invest nearly US $210 billion in network construction, 90% of which will be invested in 5g.

Liu Liehong, Vice Minister of the Ministry of industry and information technology, revealed that China has invested more than 260 billion yuan in the construction of 5g network. In the future, China will continue to strengthen policy guidance to promote the research, development, construction and application of 5g network.

And 5g related investment will help the global economy to overcome the impact of the new pneumonia epidemic. According to the GSMA study, 5g upgrading will contribute more than US $600 billion annually to the global economy by 2030, which is about 2.1% of the expected revenue growth of all industries and sectors in the next decade.

The global 5g ecology has just started, and the industrial chain needs closer cooperation. Therefore, a major theme of the exhibition is to cooperate with each other to promote 5g business. With the rapid increase of 5g terminals, enterprises are now exploring and deepening large-scale 5g business in vertical industries. For example, Huawei has continued to invest in mining, coal mines, ports and other fields. The daily scenes such as table tennis training and coffee making with robotic arms are also displayed on the platform of Qualcomm.

Wu Hequan, academician of Chinese Academy of engineering, said at the 5g evolution summit during MWC: "the global 5g business has more than one year, and its commercial scale and development speed far surpass 4G and 3G. 5g needs to continue to innovate, including the innovation of application ecology, the innovation and standardization of practical technology, so as to keep pace with the development of network deployment and the number of users, and stimulate the business ecology with network ecology. "

The construction of macro base station and small base station promotes the popularization of 5g

As of January 2021, there are 144 5g commercial networks in 57 countries, and the number of 5g connections has reached 235 million, a record high. Among them, China takes the lead in 5g network scale. After the official 5gsa commercial operation on October 31, 2019, China took the lead in realizing 5gsa scale commercial operation in November last year. On January 26, 2021, China Mobile and China Radio and television signed a 5g strategic cooperation agreement, officially launching the construction and sharing of 700MHz 5g network.

At present, 718000 5g base stations have been built and opened in China, accounting for about 70% of the world. In 2021, China plans to build 600000 5g base stations, mainly referring to macro base stations. Overall, China continues to maintain the pace of moderately advanced construction.

As a result, operators' investment in 5g is still growing. However, with the rapid progress of last year and the completion of the target ahead of schedule, an operator told reporters that this year's construction will slow down a bit, and more suitable low-cost solutions will be selected.

In addition to Acer, the small base stations that are usually positioned as "blinding" are also being gradually expanded. In terms of 5g small base stations, Hu Zumin, general manager of CCCC, said in an interview with the 21st century economic news reporter: "China Mobile has given a bidding plan of 6.7 million yuan in the operator market this year, and this year is a batch of pilot projects. Overseas small base stations, including 5g, are already at home level, and they go directly into families. China basically serves as a macro blind patch, such as gymnasiums and rural areas. "

At present, the small base station products of Gongxin Co., Ltd. include millimeter wave and sub-6g frequency bands. "Millimeter wave small base stations are already in mass production, and orders are applicable in small quantities, mainly in the United States, Japan and South Korea. The millimeter wave modules will be shipped in batches in March this year." Hu Zumin said.

In his opinion, the current preference of China and the United States for sub-6g or millimeter wave is based on their own consideration, "but I think it is just a matter of order. The United States has just auctioned off spectrum in C-band, and the United States will also develop sub-6g. China will also need millimeter wave in the future, and the opportunities of millimeter wave in China are more in the vertical market, such as transportation, industrial Internet and automation Turn the scene. "

With the promotion of infrastructure construction, 5g is accelerating its entry into ordinary people's homes. Ding Yun, Huawei's managing director and President of BG, an operator, said that by the end of 2020, the number of 5g commercial terminals and users showed an explosive growth compared with that in 2019. The number of commercial terminals on the market reached 380, an increase of 8 times; the number of mobile users reached 220 million, an increase of 17 times. Ding Yun predicts that these numbers will still maintain a growth rate of about three times this year, while the ecology of 5g mobile phones will be as mature as 4G in the next one to two years.

During the exhibition, Huawei released a new generation of 5g folding mobile phone mate x2. Oppo showed the X 2021 scroll screen concept machine and space separation charging technology. It is also worth noting that these terminal giants not only display new mobile phone products, but also emphasize the full scene solutions for 5g society, such as smart home, intelligent travel, intelligent sports and other Internet of things scenarios.

Tong Wen, Huawei fellow and wireless CTO, said that the continuous upgrading of personal experience and the gradual enrichment of IOT scenarios have put forward higher requirements for 5g's existing capabilities, and on the other hand, we are required to constantly explore new scenarios such as uplink ultra wideband, real-time broadband interaction and communication convergence perception, so as to maximize the commercial value of 100 billion IOT.

Speed up the large-scale business of vertical industry

At present, 5g is also used in intelligent factories, steel, ports, transportation, automatic driving, medical and other industries.

From the enterprise side, Huawei released the 5gtob solution on February 22. According to the introduction, the solution consists of four parts, including "5gtob basic network", "5gtob network capability opening", "5gtob application enabling" and "5gtob industry market". Huawei has cooperated with operators, partners and enterprise users to take the lead in applying 5gtob platform solution in the iron and steel industry, depositing the ability and experience on the platform, realizing the standardization and rapid replication of industry solutions through the platform, such as 5g steel transfer automation, 5g ar remote assisted assembly, 5g Steel Watch quality inspection, etc.

During the MWC Shanghai exhibition, GSMA, together with China Academy of communications and communications, released the latest report "China 5g vertical industry application case 2021", covering many fields such as industrial manufacturing, transportation, electric power, health care, education and content creation. Typical cases include: how to build 5g explosion-proof base station in underground coal mine with the most complex and challenging production conditions; how to use 5g video to realize intelligent tally and remote control in the container ocean main port, which ranks the first in the world for 11 consecutive years; the use of 5g network slice private network in the power distribution of urban power grid covering 5 provinces and regions, which accounts for 18.2% of the country's power supply population, How to help enterprises adapt to the changes brought about by new technologies after the realization of vehicle route coordination and automatic driving of 50 operating vehicles on 60 km bus trunk lines in the city.

Hu Zumin told reporters: "in fact, all companies in the vertical field are exploring. We all think that 80% of the applications are in the vertical field. In the 5g era, we are more optimistic about automobile related applications. There are two kinds: one is the Internet of vehicles, because 5g itself has three characteristics - broadband connection, low delay, and everything connected. The Internet of vehicles pays more attention to low delay; the other is the subway, high-speed rail, automobile, ship, etc. in the transportation field, we are cooperating with some enterprises to customize some products for them. "

B-end applications seem to be in full bloom, but there are limited areas in the industry scene to have a definite target and solve the pain points. The Internet of vehicles, manufacturing industry, industrial Internet are promising directions, but there is still a long way to go to realize large-scale applications. 5g is not "plug and play". It is a very complex process to transform the digital system through 5g technology, which is closely related to the enterprise's digital foundation, whether there is capital investment and the willingness of the management. At the same time, 5g era needs to find a new commercial closed-loop to bring new impetus to the development of the industrial chain.

In his speech at the opening ceremony of MWC Shanghai exhibition, chairman of China Telecom pointed out that 5g is in the process of development in terms of network, terminal and application. In terms of network, 5g technical standards are still in the process of evolution, and the equipment supporting R16 is not mature; in terms of terminals, it is necessary to speed up the upgrading and opening of SA, and the industrialization process of SA module needs to be accelerated; in terms of application, 5g individuals should The industrial Internet application is still in the exploratory period.
