China to launch 5G commercial services next year

[onebyone]

China is expected to launch commercial operations of 5G communication in 2018, according to the 19th China High-Tech Fair that concluded Tuesday.

With the development of the latest communication technology, China’s three major telecom companies are striving to realize large-scale application of the service in 2020.

The previous four generations of telecom technologies focused on people-to-people communication, while the latest generation will connect humans to things.

“4G changed your life, 5G will change society,” noted Ding Haiyu, director of China Mobile Research Institute’s wireless division.

In addition, 5G technology is almost 100% reliable and consumes little power at low cost. This means almost anything can be equipped with wireless communication technology in the future, enabling wireless communication to develop into a general technology just like electricity.

China started technical tests of 5G communication in January last year and has completed the planning of a 30-site 5G test field in Huairou District, Beijing. The next phase of testing will begin later this year or early 2018.

The initial 5G network should be achieved in June 2018 and the complete version in September 2019. Large-scale commercial operation is expected to be realized in 2020.

Responding to some concern about the new communication technology, an insider explained that the cost will decrease as techniques and services improve. Overall, a household’s communication expense is expected to go down.

Wow that's early and this means that the self-driving cars are closer than previously predicted. China is surely leading the way and winning the race in this area at least

Thanks to HUAWEI,CHINA 5G communication standard is the int'l standard now,such as polar code!

A vast standard like this involves thousands of small standards and patents.

Huawei is certainly very actively involved in making standards. But so are other companies like ZTE, Qualcomm, Intel, Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung, LG etc.

These standards cover end to end communications.

Huawei and ZTE are good at the carrier end, with base stations etc.

Qualcomm pretty much dominates the cell phone receivers, broadband etc.

So, instead of seeing just one patent alone, you should look at the total aggregate Standard Essential Patents.

There was 2G, then 3G, then 4G, there was no Patent gibberish involved.
Why on 5G now?
Just because India is a laggard and it pinches your soul as an Indian jealous of Chinese progress?

The whole article is missing just one word - and that is Patent.

Why so frivolous and flippant?

Usa ban huawei and ZTE coz its own company like cisco,qualcomm can not defeat huawei in normal way!
Trust me you do not want to argue patents with huawei,for 2G and 3G,huawei is very shy and even powerless,but for 4G and the coming 5G, HUAWEI will crash anyone trying to blackmail it!
BTW,China did not ban Ericsson ,Alcatel,Cisco,Nokia,Qaulicomm,intel,MICROSOFT...

Woohoo, speed gap between 4g and 5g is huge.
This is going to open a lot of doors.

No one is dening the power and contribution of Qualcomm,Cisco,ZTE,intel,......
and of course,no single company can seal the standard by its own power and patents for sure!
this is common sense and polar code is adopted by 3GPP,i am right about it!

qualcomm is actually does not hold a lot important 5g patents in mobile like in older generations where they making tons of money from licensing. now, even mediatek and samsung can make 5g mobile modem chip on their own without paying anyone a cent. that's why apple is playing hardball with qualcomm, because they have many options unlike before.

Qualcomm? Oh please you have no idea how the telecommunication market works

In fact it seems that you don't have any idea. Qualcomm is one of the leading players in the standardization game. It earns royalties worth billions every year.

It is the leading player when it come to mobile broadband.

There are only two companies as of now who have demonstrated a 5g modem. Qualcomm and Intel.

Mediatek is in fact loosing market share in modem space in 4g. It is multiple generations behind Qualcomm, Intel, and hisilicon who are the leaders in the modem space.

Also irrespective of who makes the modem, they will still have to pay royalty to Qualcomm because of the patent issue.

And 5g standardization is still in process. So we have to wait. But Qualcomm is still set to dominate the mobile broadband end.

Hilarious. Googling everything doesnt make you more knowledgeable in the current context
