Manufacturers are beginning to correct errors, 5G adjust the direction?

It has been more than two years since China issued 5G licenses to the four major operators in June 2019.

 

It has been more than two years since China issued 5G licenses to the four major operators in June 2019.

 

In the past two years or so, domestic 5G construction has come to the forefront of the world, with more than 500 million package users, more than 300 million 5G mobile phones, and more than 1 million base stations, all ranking first in the world.

 

However, in the past two years or so, the argument that 5G is useless and that 5G is a scam has often flooded the Internet.

 


Of course, the most fundamental reason why there are these discussions is that there is no real 5G application on the personal C side. The 5G that everyone has experienced is only the increase in network speed, but it brings more expensive mobile phones and more power consumption. The consequences of higher tariffs and higher tariffs, as well as news that various technologies are immature, base stations consume large amounts of electricity, and electricity bills are sky-high.

 

Therefore, as ordinary ordinary people, it is understandable to make complaints. After all, they spend more money without experiencing subversion. The expectation is high, and the disappointment is naturally a little bit big in the end.

 

In fact, expert-level professionals have always said that the biggest application scenario of 5G is currently not in the civilian market, but more in industrial applications.

 

However, in the past, operators, mobile phone manufacturers, and equipment manufacturers were mainly vigorously developing the civilian market. After all, the civilian market is larger, the revenue will be higher, the threshold will be lower, and it is easier to achieve immediate results, so 5G is advancing faster in civilian use.

 

However, this civilian direction did not bring about a qualitative subversion of the ordinary civilian market, so the disgust of users has also come, and there have been more complaints.

 

However, judging from the current situation, manufacturers seem to be beginning to correct their mistakes, and are no longer obsessed with personal C-terminals, and the direction of 5G has begun to be adjusted, and everyone has begun to shift their focus to industrial applications.

 

To cite the simplest example, Huawei has established five armies, namely the Coal Corps, the Customs and Port Corps, the Smart Highway Corps, the Data Center Energy Corps, and the Smart Photovoltaic Corps. These five legions are actually using 5G technology to empower these specific industries, which are typical industrial applications of 5G.

 

In fact, not only Huawei, global operators, but also Ericsson, Qualcomm, Nokia, and ZTE, based on recent trends, are paying more attention to industrial applications instead of focusing on personal C-side scenarios.

 

Of course, I still want to mention that 5G is actually the foundation. Only when 5G comes first can some 5G be applied. All the initial investment is large and immaturity is normal. But in the long run, 5G is a trend. With 5G, We are more able to enjoy the most advanced communications and Internet services, and our future is full of more possibilities. This process may be long or short, but it will definitely come.
