2024 is the fifth year of 5G commercialization, and it has quietly entered the second half5g-a(5G-Advanced) is what we know as 55G will make its debut on stage and this yearStarted the first year of 5G-A commercialization
However, some people asked: 5G is used well, why upgrade 5G-A?
In fact, in our daily life, going out with traffic, going home with wifi has become the "standard", with the blessing of 5G and gigabit, chatting anytime and anywhere, brushing**, it seems that we have forgotten the existence of "network jam".
However, in some underground parking lots, remote villages and other places, the network signal of the chain drops from time to time is also reminding usDead ZonesRemains.
At the same time, immersive devices such as 2K 4K live streaming or playing AR VR have put forward higher requirements for the speed and latency of the network, such as VR glasses, smart bracelets and other devicesConstantly pushing the "upper limit" of network performance
For VR devices, the network bandwidth needs to reach more than 1,000 Mbps and the latency must be less than 2 ms to ensure a good experience when using the device.
Compared with 5G, 5G-A has better network performance, and its theoretical uplink peak rate can be reached10gbps, equivalent to 10 Gigabit broadband network, and equipped withMillisecond-level latency and centimeter-level positioning accuracy capabilitiesIt supports 100 billion connections in all scenarios and capabilities, improving network performance by 10 times.
Just imagine, you can watch 3D movies without glasses, go shopping online at home**, and travel the ...... of great rivers and mountainsThe immersive experience successfully connects the digital and physical worlds, expands new markets, and accelerates the arrival of the metaverse.
For vertical industries, 5G RedCapBalance performance with costAt present, the RedCap module has dropped to more than 200 yuan, which is 100-200 yuan cheaper than the standard 5G module.
Based onWireless camera with RedCap technologyIt may become the "sweet and sweet" of the future, without digging channels and laying cables, and the clarity and smoothness of the picture are not "discounted", but the comprehensive cost has been reduced by more than sixty percent, so who doesn't want to have a cost-effective and trouble-free Internet of Things device?
Since the birth of 5G was born with high hopes, butThe "high coldness" of hardware costs and the "absence" of phenomenal applicationsThe performance of the 5G personal market has been "unsatisfactory", making it difficult to effectively stimulate the revenue growth of operators.
The new skills introduced by 5G-A can, on the one hand, alleviate the embarrassing situation of "5G is too expensive", and on the other hand, it will provide more powerful network support for the Internet of Vehicles, smart factories, smart homes, etc.
It is worth mentioning5G-A has been "launched" in many places。In Shanghai, China Mobile and Huawei have completed the deployment of 200 kilometers of trunk roads in major urban areas and 5G-A networks in key areas, covering 10 typical urban scenarios such as cultural tourism and urban subways.
In the actual test, the network capacity and speed of the "upgraded" 5G-A have been greatly improved, and the peak downlink rate of users can reach 5Gbps, and there is less delay when playing VR, such as glasses-free 3D and XR cloud games.
In Shenzhen, China Unicom and Huawei jointly built 55G Park plans to build six 5G-A demonstration zones in the city this year, bringing "10 Gigabit downlink, 100 Gigabit uplink, 100 billion connections, and endogenous intelligence" 5G-A to users' real life.
In Hangzhou, China Telecom and ZTE jointly built the "Hangzhou 5G-A Smart Asian Games City", and completed the deployment of 5G-A key technologies such as dual 10 Gigabit and integrated synaesthesia in the International Expo Center and Asian Games Village, with a downlink peak rate of 25Gbps and an uplink peak rate of 17Gbps, which can support real-time live broadcast of dozens of 8K cameras.
As a transition stage from 5G to 6G, 5G-A is not only an "upgraded version" of 5G, but also an early exploration of the way for 6G to debut in six years.
At present, the scale of global 5G users has exceeded 1.5 billion, of which the scale of 5G mobile users in China has reached 80.5 billion households, whether 5G-A can break the "stereotype" of users about 5G and accelerate the arrival of 5G phenomenal applications is worth looking forward to.
