Recently, OpenSignal, a well-known market research company, released a report showing the current global 5G** speed.
Data shows that from October to December, South Korea's 5G** speed ranked first in the world, reaching 1402 mbps, compared to only 50 in Chinese mainland5 Mbps, which is only about one-third of that of South Korea.
And then India actually had 515 Mbps, 1 Mbps faster than 5G in Chinese mainland.
Of course, many people are skeptical about this speed, saying that their mobile phones, at any time to test 5G speed, have more than 200Mbps, why is it only 50What about 5mbps?
Another part said that even India's 5G speed is faster than Chinese mainland's, and China also claims to be the world's first in 5G technology. Some 5G technology companies, as well as operators, should take a good look at themselves.
Removing the reasons for data errors, I think there are many reasons why India's 5G speed is faster than China's, and it doesn't mean that India's 5G technology is really more developed than China's.
The most important reason is the total capacity of the 5G network and the total number of users.
This is very easy to understand, for example, the construction of highways, according to the design of 120km s, under normal circumstances, can reach 120km per hour, even without any cars, you can drive up to 160km s is feasible, just like the theoretical speed of 5G is 1000mbps.
If there is a lot of traffic, such as a 120km s high speed during the Spring Festival, because of the large traffic flow, it may only be able to drive to 80km s, or even 60km s, or it is blocked.
The same is true for 5G, the theoretical speed is 1000Mbps, but if there are more people using it, the natural network speed will be slow.
When 5G was first launched in 2019, the world's 5G network speed was quite fast, and most of the world's 5G tests at that time could reach 800-1000Mbps.
Later, as more and more people used each 5G network, everyone's Internet speed became slower and slower, just like there are more and more cars on the highway.
At present, the number of 5G** users of the three major domestic operators, as of the end of December 2023, the number of 5G** users of China Mobile is 79.5 billion households, telecom is 40.8 billion households, Unicom is 2600 million households, totaling more than 13500 million households.
The number of 5G users in India, according to data, is only about 200 million, 13500 million vs. 200 million, how big do you say the gap is?
We multiply the average speed by the total number of users, and we can see that the total bandwidth of China's 5G network is actually more than 7 times that of India, indicating that China's investment in 5G, even if it increases exponentially, is actually more than 7 times.
However, the 5G network is not just increased by multiples, once the capacity is increased, it also involves networking, operation, and the total bandwidth of core equipment is not as simple as 1+1+1+1+1+1+1=7.
So through an unreal 5G network speed, I began to complain that China's 5G technology is backward, which may indeed be too one-sided, do you think?
