5G is about to be commercialized! Ministry of Industry and Information Technology: The first version of 5G international standards will be determined in June this year

On January 30, it was reported that this year is the most critical year for perfecting 5G technology trials. The full commercialization still needs to wait for the mass production of 5G related equipment. Qualcomm 5G previously announced that commercial use will be in the second half of 2019. Now, according to the latest news, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has announced the progress of domestic 5G networks. The three major operators, China Mobile, China Unicom, and China Telecom, will be able to upgrade their existing networks in June.

According to the news, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology announced the progress of the domestic 5G network. Overall, China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom are advancing at a fast pace. Zhang Feng, chief engineer of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said: "5G is at a critical stage of standard determination. The international standards organization 3GPP will complete the first version of the 5G international standard in June this year.

my country took the lead in launching 5G R&D and testing in early 2016 to further promote the application and development of the fifth-generation mobile communication system. In January this year, a third-phase specification release conference was held, and "textbooks" and "examination outlines" were issued to participating companies. This also marks that the R&D test has officially entered the third phase, which will promote 5G system equipment to basically reach the pre-commercial level. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will rely on the third phase of 5G technology R&D and testing, focusing on the simultaneous development of the three tasks of "standards, R&D and testing." In fact, this means that in addition to Chinese manufacturers, international manufacturers such as Ericsson, Shanghai Nokia Bell, etc., many manufacturers are actively participating in 5G R&D and testing, and the same is true in the chip field.

***, Zhang Feng also specifically emphasized that in order to better promote 5G, in terms of international cooperation, we should adhere to the concepts of openness, inclusiveness, cooperation and win-win, and have been advocating the formation of 5G standards to form one world, one 5G standard, and quickly and steadily promote the development of 5G in a coordinated manner.
