The number of domestic 5G** users broke a new high of 1.2 billion!What is the actual situation?
In recent years, operators, organizations and enterprises around the world have stepped up their efforts to promote 5G technology and applications, sparing no effort to demonstrate the advantages and application scenarios of 5G technology to the public. These efforts aim to make a big difference by making 5G technology more accessible to more people and applying it to all walks of life.
Thanks to the efforts of all parties, 5G is also developing rapidly and popularly around the world, especially in China, where 5G is developing the fastest. Recently, the 5G** user data released by the four major operators shows that the total number of users on the entire network has exceeded 1.2 billion.
According to the data, as of the end of March this year, China Unicom's 5G** users reached 22.4 billion, China Mobile's 5G** users reached 68.9 billion, China Telecom's 5G** users reached 28.3 billion. In addition, the fourth largest operator, China Radio and Television, has 8.7 million 5G** users, and the cumulative number of domestic 5G** users has exceeded 1.2 billion.
According to the last statistics, as of September 30 last year, the total number of 5G** users on the whole network exceeded 1 billion. Now, in half a year, the number of 5G** users on the whole network has increased by 200 million, and the development speed is quite fast.
What's really going on behind this data?
First of all, statistically, the number of users doesn't mean that there are really 1.2 billion people using 5G. From the perspective of the three major operators (excluding radio and television), China Unicom"Great connections"The number of users has reached 900 million, and the total number of China Mobile users is about 98.3 billion, China Telecom's mobile subscribers have reached 39.9 billion.
In other words, the total number of mobile subscribers of the three major operators has reached 228.2 billion, while the number of 5G** subscribers of the three major operators is 119.6 billion, accounting for 52 percent of the total number of users41%。This means that nearly half of the subscribers will not have 5G** on it, and it is also possible that a single person will have multiple accounts on 5G**.
From this point of view, it is not as much as everyone thinks. In fact, this is also the case, for example, the author's family, relatives and friends, and many people I know around me are 4G mobile phones, not 5G (5G bandwidth is not counted).
It can be seen that the overall penetration rate of 5G is not as high as the data shows, because in addition to the faster network speed, other technical advantages of 5G have not been well reflected, at least in terms of improving the ordinary user experience, the advantages of 5G have not been greatly improved.
Secondly, the increase in the number of group users shows that the development of 5G is quite rapid, but the penetration rate is still stuck at about 50%, indicating that the killer application that truly belongs to 5G has not yet appeared. This is the same as the short ** of the 4G era, and the next generation of 5G technology not only needs time to create new forms of application scenarios, but also needs to explode.
In addition, while 5G has brought about an increase in network speed, the energy consumption upgrade caused by 5G networks has not yet been resolved. This means that it is difficult for manufacturers to control the weight and volume of 5G phones at optimal levels. As it stands, it is still the era of 4G and 5G coexistence, and will coexist for a long time to come.
Therefore, the number of 5G group users in the whole network exceeds 1.2 billion, which is not equal to the actual number of 5G users, which may show the strength of operators to promote 5G.
However, the rapid growth of the number of 5G group users shows that the popularity of 5G technology in China is increasing.
It is undeniable that this is one of the important achievements of the four major national operators in promoting 5G technology. With the continuous maturity of 5G technology and the continuous expansion of application scenarios, we can foresee that 5G technology will gradually become popular in the next few years, bringing more opportunities and challenges to all walks of life.
In addition, the continuous expansion of the 5G user base will also promote the continuous expansion of 5G technology application scenarios. For example, 5G technology also has a wide range of application prospects in the fields of Internet of Things, industrial Internet, Internet of Vehicles, etc., and with the increase of users, 5G technology will play a more important role in these fields and promote innovation and development in these fields.
To sum up, the total number of 5G** users in China has exceeded 1.2 billion, which means that operators have achieved remarkable results in promoting 5G technology. Although this number is not the actual number of 5G users, it shows the continuous maturity of 5G technology and the continuous expansion of application scenarios, and it is foreseeable that more and more users will choose to use 5G in the future.
