official news: On June 27, 2022, China Radio and Television, China’s fourth largest communications operator, officially launched its 5G commercial trial, with a package price as low as 38 yuan. As soon as the news of
came out, it immediately attracted the attention of many netizens and may have subverted the cognition of most people. The status of China's three major communications operators, UMC, was immediately shaken in the hearts of the public. This incident can definitely be said to be a black swan event in the Chinese communications industry. The essence of transcendence is mode, not form.
In this issue, let’s take a look at the development history of 5G.
On April 3, 2019, three South Korean operators officially launched the 5G commercial service, several hours ahead of Verizon in the United States. South Korea became the first country in the world to realize 5G commercial use.
On June 6, 2019, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued a 5G commercial license, marking the official entry into the first year of 5G commercial use in my country. Also in the same year, the world officially entered the 5G era.
To this day, from a global perspective, the Asia-Pacific region has always been the leader in 5G. Among them, South Korea and Japan are the first countries in the world to test and launch commercial 5G network . With the further popularization of cloud services, AR/VR, ultra-high-definition audio and video and other applications, the penetration rate of 5G in the Asia-Pacific region is gradually increasing.
As of the first quarter of this year, South Korea ranks first in terms of global 5G penetration rate with 44.92%, followed by Mainland China (36.82%), Hong Kong, China (29.62%), and Japan (25.49%).
The deployment of 5G in major cities around the world has largely escaped the adverse impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, with the total number of cities deploying 5G approaching the 2,000 mark. In these 12 months, 635 cities introduced 5G technology. By country, China leads the list with 356 5G cities, followed by the United States (296) and the Philippines (98).
From the perspective of network construction, 5G networks in many countries have covered more than half of the population, and network speeds are also continuing to increase. As of March this year, South Korea had 22.9 million 5G users, accounting for 45%, making it one of the countries with the highest 5G usage in the world.
In addition, the 5G terminal industry is also developing continuously. As of January this year, global 5G smartphone sales accounted for 51% of all smartphone sales, surpassing 4G smartphones for the first time.
The real application areas of 5G technology are currently playing a role in many scenarios such as urban transportation, emergency rescue, ecological environment, and convenient services, promoting the digital transformation of cities and changing all aspects of people's daily lives. However, judging from the current development situation, the golden period of 5G is far from coming. What is lacking is mainly the construction of infrastructure and the development of related intelligent applications.
As an ordinary consumer, we are eagerly looking forward to the early arrival of the 5G golden era.
