The next generation of 5G networks will aim to serve applications that integrate artificial intelligence (AI) and the virtual universe (metaverse) – technologies that are trending today.
networks Commercial 5G has been officially deployed in China since 2019 through 4 main mobile carriers. technology 5G After 4 years of development, Beijing is aiming for upgraded (commonly called 5. 5G ) with the advantages of lower energy consumption, enhanced computing capabilities, and good support for artificial intelligence applications. , metaverse.
Shanghai, one of the most developed cities in China, also plans to push the metaverse industry past the $6.94 billion mark by 2025. The city is working on a “Shanghai Format” strategy focusing on 5G, AI, metaverse, and enhanced autonomous vehicle experience, according to Wang Tianguang, director of the Shanghai Communications Bureau
As of March 2023, China has nearly 2.85 million 5G stations across the country, accounting for 25.3% of the total number of base stations here and having more than 43% of internet access data from mobile on the 5G platform. At the end of May 2023, the number of mobile users using 5G in the country of billions of people reached 651 million, equivalent to 38.1% of mobile subscribers.
At the forum to discuss the development of 5G network technology held by Huawei in Shanghai (China) on June 27 ahead of the MWC Shanghai event (taking place on June 28 in Shanghai), the representative of China Mobile – the largest network operator China said that the 5.5G network will have new applications such as AI, metaverse as well as go deeper into multi-industry support, not just stopping at network technology for telecommunications. Li Huidi, Executive Vice President of China Mobile, sees 5.5G as the future “smart AI, cloud-integrated, low-carbon and efficient” wireless mobile network technology.
Applications on the 5G platform have covered more than 60% of different industrial fields related to national economic development, including the Internet for industry, smart cities, and consumer goods. Information consumption, public security, oil and gas, smart energy, education, healthcare, agriculture, logistics, mining…
As the first new infrastructure to support the growth of the digital economy, 5G has been deployed faster than any previous generation of mobile communication technology since its commercial use in the world. over the past four years, becoming a powerful driving force for the development of the digital economy. Cao Ming, President of Huawei’s wireless network product division, said that 5G has changed everyone’s lives and work, becoming an important driving force for the development of the digital economy. enable operators to achieve business success.
The leader evaluates that 5G enhances the personal experience while accelerating data consumption, increasing average revenue per customer (ARPU). In Thailand, for example, Mr. Cao Ming said that the average user here uses 30 GB of data with an ARPU of 15 USD when using 4G / LTE networks, but switching to 5G networks, the above number increases respectively. 50 GB and $17, which translates to almost double growth in terms of data usage and about an additional 15% for ARPU.
“The 5G network will enter a new phase of upgraded development and industry convergence. The next three to five years will be an important period for the expansion of 5G applications in China and even around the world. 5G network development is facing new opportunities and strategic tasks, which need to be shared by all industry players. We will drive innovation and global application discovery, and drive innovation. growth of new industries and ecosystems, building the prosperity of the 5G ecosystem,” said Cao Ming
