5G application integration development is imperative

2021.11.20

In the past two years of commercial use of 5G, with the joint efforts of all parties in the industry, remarkable results have been achieved, and a large number of outstanding cases have emerged, and 5G applications have achieved a breakthrough from 0 to 1. But how will the next step of 5G development be advanced? At the recently held "Julian Condensing Intelligence, Convergence and Co-creation" 5G industry application online seminar, participating experts proposed that to achieve the leap from 1 to N, the development trend of 5G application integration It is imperative.

Empowering thousands of industries to enter a new stage of 5G large-scale applications

Since the beginning of this year, with the release of the "5G Application "Sailing" Action Plan (2021-2023)", 5G commercial and 5G industry applications have become increasingly active. Du Jiadao, deputy director of the 5G Application Innovation Center of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology and chairman of the 5G industry phalanx industry application group, introduced: “The number of 5G cases and projects this year exceeded 12,000.” He pointed out that this year, 5G has entered a large-scale application. New stage. From a national perspective, 5G has penetrated into more than ten industries, including industry, agriculture, construction, and medical care. Judging from the statistical data of more than 30 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country, 5G industry applications have become the focus of the development of various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. Wu Bing, a product expert at China Mobile’s Shanghai Industrial Research Institute, said: “At present, China Mobile has accumulated more than 100 practical industry application scenarios in 18 industries, and a total of more than 5,000 projects have begun to replicate and promote. At the “Partner Conference”, China Mobile released the version of “Connected Computing Power ﹢ Capability 2.0”. China Mobile also proposed the “Nine-Day Artificial Intelligence Platform”, focusing on industry, transportation, finance, medical care, education, tourism, smart cities, Private network operations and smart parks continue to empower the industry to promote the transformation of the industry's "digital intelligence"."

From "model house" to "commercial house" 5G scale development urgently needs a breakthrough

According to the latest data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the number of 5G base stations in my country has reached 1.159 million, and the number of terminal connections has reached 450 million, which is the world's leading level. Although my country's 5G industry application development has achieved remarkable results in a short period of time, due to the large number of industries in my country, the digitalization level and development stage of each industry and each enterprise, the difference in demand, and the outstanding individualization, 5G has changed from "model house" to "commercial house". There are still some challenges facing large-scale promotion. Chen Yami, 5G intelligent logistics architect of JD Logistics, Li Bangyu, deputy chief engineer of the Central Research Institute of Siasun Robot Automation Co., Ltd., and Zhuang Kan, technical director of Hisense Group, all proposed at the meeting that 5G﹢Industrial Internet is under cost pressure in the industry application process Not to be ignored, several major pain points existing on the "application side, network side, and public load side" need to be resolved urgently. Pan Zhengang, the chief technical expert of Ziguang Zhanrui, said: “In order to better serve users, Ziguang Zhanrui has a platform similar to UOB, which can incorporate downstream and industry application requirements in advance. Customers must support video, Ziguang Zhanrui There is a video interface, and some related interfaces of artificial intelligence can be provided by customers. For the industrial Internet, it also needs to be included in the previous chip platform. In this way, industry customers can customize some module parameters, from We have cut down on the platform we provide to achieve the best cost." Tao Hanfeng, general manager of TD Tech's IoT module product line, also said: "As a manufacturer of communication modules, TD Tech will strive to reduce the overall cost of use and be able to reduce the entire product to a popular price point."

Build a healthy ecological integration development to help 5G set sail

5G converged applications are an important engine to promote the digital, networked, and intelligent transformation of the economy and society. Since the beginning of this year, under the guidance of policies, all parties in the industry have actively explored new modes of integrated applications to promote the accelerated development of 5G applications. Regarding the next step of the 5G application, Tao Hanfeng put forward: “I hope that the entire industry chain can be deeply integrated. The 5G industry chain is driven." Du Jia understands: "When 5G reaches'To B', it is a converged industry. No industry can undertake such a historical responsibility. Therefore, cooperation and joint research and construction of industrial ecology will be the future. A must-have path for the country." 5G industry applications must not only solve the problems of customization and high research and development, but also reduce the cost of 5G as much as possible. More importantly, there must be a group of pioneer companies that not only lead in technology, but also have the responsibility and responsibility to continue to promote the construction of the entire 5G industry application ecosystem. This seminar undoubtedly made a very useful exploration for the integration and development of 5G applications.
