China Mobile announced the list of the first batch of 100 5G-A network commercial cities in Hangzhou yesterday (28th), and plans to expand the commercial scope to more than 300 cities across the country within the year.
The list of the first batch of 100 cities for commercial use of 5G-A networks was announced
5G-A is an evolution technology from 5G to 6G, which has better network performance than 5G, and the theoretical peak rate can reach 10G. It has millisecond-level delay and centimeter-level positioning accuracy, and at the same time introduces technologies such as synaesthesia integration and artificial intelligence, which can better match applications such as Internet of Vehicles, high-end manufacturing, and full-scene perception.
Gao Tongqing, Deputy General Manager of China Mobile: You can see that the speed is faster, the experience is better, the perception is more accurate, the connection is wider, and the control is more stable. After the commercial use of 5G-A, the application and promotion of 5G will be further accelerated.
Gao Tongqing revealed that China Mobile plans to promote the launch of more than 20 5G-A terminals in the industrial chain within the year, develop more than 20 million 5G-A end users, and expand the commercial scope to more than 300 cities across the country to build the world's largest 5G-A commercial network.
5G-A will greatly enrich personal and industrial applications
Experts point out that 5G-A is commonly known as 5.5G. 5G-A has technical features such as higher speed, larger connection, lower latency, integrated synaesthesia, integrated intelligent computing, and integrated air-space-ground architecture, which will greatly enrich personal and industrial applications.
Cao Ming, President of Huawei's Wireless Network Product Line: "5G-A will enhance our experience, and in addition, it will go to a wide range of industries, as part of our new productivity, our future industries, homes, and vehicles can be applied to the capabilities of 5G-A new networks.
It is understood that in order to promote the development of the 5G-A industry ecosystem, China Mobile, together with Huawei and other industry partners, has established the 5G-A Innovation Industry Alliance and the Glasses-free 3D Industry Alliance, which has released various glasses-free 3D terminal products such as mobile phones, tablets, car screens, notebooks, and displays, as well as content applications and technology platforms.
"Synaesthesia" technology helps the safety management of low-altitude and water waters
At present, all localities have carried out the verification and large-scale pilot of 5G-A "integrated synaesthesia" key technology in all scenarios of "water, land and air".
In the Asian Games venue area of Hangzhou, Zhejiang, a country's largest 5G-A low-altitude security test is underway. A drone slowly took off from the lawn, and at the same time, its route trajectory was also captured in real time by the synaesthesia base station and reflected on the monitoring and management platform. With the help of 5G-A "integrated synaesthesia" technology, an electronic fence has been demarcated over the area of the Hangzhou Asian Games venue, and once illegal drones enter, they will report to the management department for early warning and continue to track the trajectory.
Chen Feng, Director of the Mobile Communication Network Department of the Planning and Technology Department of Zhejiang Mobile: "Synaesthesia" means that our original base station is the ability to communicate, and it can now have this perception ability, based on this perception ability, we can monitor the planes flying in the sky, as well as the cars running on the road, and the ships on the river, all of which can monitor its movement trajectory.
It is understood that the monitoring distance of a synaesthesia base station in the area of the Hangzhou Asian Games venue can reach 1.5 kilometers, which can detect and perceive targets of a minimum of 0.01 square meters, and the position error of the perception target can be controlled within 1 meter. At present, the Hangzhou Asian Games venue area has formed the country's largest "synaesthesia integration" application demonstration area.
In Wuhan Yangluo Port, the port's 5G-A base station is superimposed with radar functions, which can detect and track surrounding cars, ships, and drones, turning into an all-weather, over-the-horizon perception "clairvoyant", which can be inspected and supervised even in bad weather and low visibility conditions such as rain, snow and fog, and send information to the data background through the 5G-A network for AI dynamic monitoring and analysis. In the future, if supporting IoT chips are installed on ships, the 5G-A network can make the ship's location and information more accurate, realize the integrated management of "one network" of ships, goods and people, and reduce the comprehensive cost of shipping and logistics on the Yangtze River.
Shen Yanhu, Director of the Science and Technology and Information Management Department of the Yangtze River Navigation Administration: If it is used on a large scale in the future, it can better solve the problems of large investment and dense layout of our current regulatory system. For the same size, the cost is only 20 to 30 percent of what it is now.
