From the perspective of the scale of network construction, the number of 5G base stations in China currently exceeds 2 million; from the perspective of the number of users, the total number of 5G package users of the three major operators is nearly 1 billion; from the perspective of market application, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology launched the 5G application "Sail" last year. Action plan, 5G commercial development has achieved remarkable results in the past year, and a large number of excellent cases have emerged. Operators have also shouted the slogan that 5G will make a leap from "model houses" to "commercial houses" and "boutique houses". From the data point of view, 5G development momentum is good. But in reality, 5G development always gives people a feeling of "poor heat".

This feeling of "poor heat" was further amplified by an expert at this year's World 5G Conference. The expert's criticism of the "4G application of 5G" in the three major operations caused another wave of heated discussions in the industry; 5G "poor heat" is also reflected in communications Popular in the circle and cold-eyed by industry users, this "internal heat and external cold" reflects the slow progress of 5G from "model housing" to "commercial housing".

How do you view the unsatisfactory development of 5G? In other words, how can 5G development achieve a rapid leap from "0-1" to "1-N"?

It is a fact and inevitable that 5G development is currently unsatisfactory. This is inevitably reflected in the huge difference between the positioning of 5G and previous generations of mobile communication technologies. From 1G to 4G, it solves the problem of personal mobile communication. Therefore, these generations of mobile communication technologies are positioned in the personal service market. It is with the foreshadowing of 1G, 2G and 3G that 4G changes life and mobile Internet. The prosperity and development of the industry. 5G is different. 5G solves the problem of the interconnection of everything, and has assumed the responsibility of "changing society" since its birth.

If from 1G to 4G, it took the industry more than 30 years to create the development and prosperity of the mobile communication to C market, then, in the face of the big market of the Internet of Everything, 5G has just begun. From this point of view, 5G application is a long-term, complex and systematic project, which involves not only the deep integration of IT (information technology), CT (communication technology), and OT (operation technology), but also the digitalization of enterprises in various industries. Fundamentals, experience and knowledge are closely related. Not only does it require the extensive participation of upstream and downstream entities in the industry chain to carry out "group" cooperation, but also urgently requires government departments to work together to increase support and guidance, and promote 5G integration applications from "point-like blooming" It penetrates into all industries, the whole process, and the whole link, from "model rooms" to "commercial houses" to "hardcover houses". Only in this way can the great integration and great ecology of 5G applications be formed.

Rome was not built in a day, and the opening of an era was not done overnight. Therefore, in the face of the Internet of Everything, the development of 5G is just the beginning. You can think of it as the original analog mobile communication or 2G. 5G opens the door to the world of Internet of Everything and starts the engine of the era of digital intelligence, and the development of the industry requires 6G and 7G to complete.
