Ahead in 5G Technology
By Anastasia Chapman

You may have heard news about how China has been cornering a substantial chunk of the world’s strategic minerals and metal supply crucial for producing new technology. That includes lithium, copper, manganese, rare earth used in everything from electric cars to smartphones. Now, a recent forecast says that China is on its way to becoming the world’s largest 5G market with 460 million users of the next-generation super-fast network by 2025.
 

你可能听说过有关中国供应世界上大部分战略矿产和金属的新闻,其中包括从电动汽车到智能手机等各种用途的锂,铜,锰,稀土。最新预测显示,到2025年,中国有望成为全球领先的5G市场之一,预计到2025年底拥有4.6亿5G连接,占总连接数的28%。

BT 201908 IN DEPTH 10The report further states that this trend has long been forecasted by industry stalwarts, considering how China has been playing a pioneer in building the next-generation network, while experimenting with cutting-edge applications, such as remote surgeries.
 

A big reason behind this development is because China holds the world’s largest mobile market by both network size and subscribers, and it is also way ahead than that of the United States (187 million) and Europe (205 million) combined in the 5G race.
 

这一发展的一个重要原因是,中国拥有全球最大的移动市场,无论是网络规模还是用户,在5G竞赛中,它远远超过美国(1.87亿)和欧洲(2.05亿)。

BT 201908 IN DEPTH 08But why all of a sudden China is going all out to make breakthroughs in the fifth-generation mobile communication? National pride is one thing: this development means a lot to China as it sees 5G as its best chance to lead wireless technology development on a global scale. Like in the 1990s, European countries adopted the 2G trend before other parts of the world. Japan became the harbinger of the 3G technology during the early 2000s, and the United States took over the launch of 4G in 2011.
 

但为什么中国全力发展第五代移动通信呢?因为中国认为5G是在全球范围内引领无线技术发展的最佳机会。
 

This time China is leading the trail! Instead of playing catching up, they are making waves with never-seen-before innovation in the telecommunication industry. The Chinese government views 5G as crucial to the country’s economy and tech sector. After years of bearing the copycat tag, Chinese tech companies want to become the next innovative global giants - the likes of Microsoft and Apple. Chinese mobile operators have even spent billions over the last decade deploying 4G networks to all crannies of the country.

BT 201908 IN DEPTH 04Now the telecom biggies are all set to invest £678 billion in the next two years to prepare for and initiate 5G rollouts, laying the foundation for China to become a global leader in 5G technology. Backed by 5G, China’s mobile ecosystem is expected to add 6 trillion yuan (£678 billion) in value to the country's economy in 2023, 5.2 trillion yuan more than in 2018.
 

The government-backed research institute, The China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, estimates that 5G will create more than 8 million jobs nationwide in China by 2030. The firm also believes that major industries, including healthcare and energy, will spend billions of dollars collectively on 5G equipment and wireless service once the technology is launched.
 

How Is China Making Its 5G Dream Come True?

China’s mobile industry has always been a driver of modernisation and inclusion. It has also contributed to the country’s economic growth and created a new generation of digital consumers, while transforming society and primarily, its tech industry. The Chinese government along with the country's prominent mobile operators, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom, took the initiative of making the 5G dream a reality after they scramble to conduct trial operations of 5G systems in a string of cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. China Mobile even claims that its tests alone represent the world’s largest 5G trial network. The Chinese government, in association with the telecom giants, are aiming to commercialise the technology by 2020.
 

In 2013, under the government’s guidance, Chinese telecoms began conducting research on 5G, while technical trials of similar technologies were held in 2016. Meanwhile, Beijing also dedicated itself to providing Chinese operators with a wide spectrum for 5G. Such arrangements are way cushier for telecoms in China. In the United States and many other countries, operators are required to pay billions of dollars as a regulatory fee for even the right to use slivers of the spectrum. These radio frequencies radiating from the spectrum carry wireless signals and are critical to cellular service, especially 5G, which will need wide swaths of bandwidth to provide users with superfast speeds.

2013年,在政府的指导下,中国电信开始对5G进行研究,同时在2016年举办类似技术的技术试验。与此同时,北京也致力于为5G提供广泛的支持。
 

How China Plans To Capitalise The 5G Technology?

BT 201908 IN DEPTH 05China’s plan to establish a brand-new wireless infrastructure based on the “non-stand-alone” 5G mobile specifications could help advance the country’s development and promotion of autonomous driving technology.

The technology titans of China are looking to leverage the faster online connections and other advanced features from upcoming 5G networks to help boost the domestic economy. For starters like investing in the creation of more autonomous cars and smart cities. A prime example of this future technology is the new city of Xiong’an that the government is building 80 miles southwest of Beijing to tackle with over-crowding in the city.
 

China Telecom and China Mobile have established test labs there, whereas tech firms, like Baidu, are using the next-generation wireless technology to live-stream events in virtual reality and, as in Fangshan, that allows autonomous vehicles to transmit data with each other in an attempt to avoid collision.
 

The setup is further supported by local authorities that encourage developers to come up with 5G-based applications related to urban infrastructure and telemedicine, while Chinese companies capitalise on the 5G technology to add intelligence and connectivity to their factory equipment.
 

Considering the populous nation that China is, the government strongly believe that 5G will help its administrations to run functions orderly and also manage the population by smoothing the flow of traffic and generally making cities more habitable and efficient.

中国计划如何利用5G技术?

中国的技术巨头正在寻求利用即将推出的5G网络中更快的在线连接和其他先进功能来帮助推动国内经济。对于投资创建更多自动驾驶汽车和智能城市的初学者而言。这个未来技术的一个典型例子是雄安新城,政府正在北京西南80英里处建设新城,以解决城市过度拥挤的问题。
 

中国电信和中国移动已在那里建立了测试实验室,而像百度正在使用下一代无线技术允许自动驾驶车辆相互传输数据。试图避免碰撞。
 

考虑到中国这个人口众多的国家,政府坚信5G将帮助其管理部门有序运行,并通过平滑交通流量来管理人口,并使城市更加适宜居住和高效。
 

What Can Chinese Businesses Expect Out Of It?

Robust access to 5G networks could give Chinese businesses a superior edge in cultivating and monetizing services to establishments that use them - the way Silicon Valley benefitted from the several applications, like YouTube, Uber, Instagram and Facebook, right after 4G LTE networks were launched. The US, being the first nation to present 4G on a wide scale, gave a push to all the American MNCs to take quick advantage of the technology to grow and expand their businesses globally. In the same way, Shenzhen, which is China’s manufacturing nucleus, could capitalise 5G to connect huge volumes of devices to the cloud and prepare to become a leader in the Internet of Things.

中国企业可以期待什么呢?

硅谷在推出4G LTE网络后立即受益的有YouTube,Uber,Instagram和Facebook等多种应用。美国是第一个大规模推出4G的国家,这促使所有美国跨国公司迅速利用该技术在全球范围内发展和拓展业务。同样,作为中国制造核心的深圳可以利用5G资金将大量设备连接到云端,并准备成为物联网领域的领导者。
