Meng Park
Qualcomm chairman of China, he believes that artificial intelligence will make everything more intelligent, simplify and enrich our daily lives.
In November of this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the frequency planning of 5G system in the frequency band of 3000-5000MHz (mid frequency band) and China became the first country in the world to release the 5G system frequency planning in the medium frequency band. Meng Pu, chairman of Qualcomm China, The first clear 5G frequency band in the IF frequency planning, accelerating the 5G to industrialization, commercialization is essential.
5G in the next 1 year will accelerate the commercial application on a global scale
Beijing News: Qualcomm timeline, 5G when it can be used commercially?
Meng Pu: 3GPP 5G new air interface standardization work started in March 2016, is progressing as scheduled, the first version of the 5G technical specifications are expected to be completed within this year on the 5G commercial time, different countries plan, but in the next 12 to 18 In the middle of the month, 5G will be accelerated around the world.
As for the development of 5G, there are several consensus reached in the world. The first 'unified standard', we need a globally unified 5G standard to ensure the continuous development of the industry; the second 'industrial collaboration' and more and more telecommunications enterprises And vertical industries to participate in 5G R & D and cooperate with each other. The third is 'going forward', and 5G is a leap forward based on 4G. In the era of 5G, companies with solid technical accumulation in the 3G and 4G era will have greater advantages.
Beijing News: 5G will bring changes in all walks of life?
Meng Pu: If you use one sentence to express the importance of 5G, that is, 5G will be as important as electricity, 5G is expected to become a universal technology and change a wide range of industries.
3G and 4G connect people, 5G make everything interconnected. In the automotive industry, for example, the future 5G will support autonomous vehicles. For transport operators, fewer drivers and more efficient means of transport mean savings in operating costs , While loss and energy consumption will be reduced, further savings.
Beijing News: Ministry of Industry released 5G system frequency band frequency planning, what signal is transmitted?
Meng Pu: 5G new air interface design will be for all frequency bands from low frequency to high frequency.China took the lead in clarifying 5G frequency planning in mid-frequency band, which is the key to accelerating 5G industrialization and commercialization.In addition to mid-frequency band It is also very important for 5G to make full use of the high frequency millimeter wave band and we also hope MIIT will plan more spectrum resources including millimeter wave band for 5G development as soon as possible.
Smartphones are becoming the most popular artificial intelligence platform
Beijing News: Some analysts pointed out that one-third of mobile phones in the market will use AI chips in 2020. What resistance may be encountered during the popularization of AI chips?
Meng Pu: The market forecast that from 2017 to 2021, the cumulative shipment of smart phones will reach 8.6 billion, will become the most popular artificial intelligence platform in the future the ability of mobile phone artificial intelligence will be more and more strong, the application of coverage Will be more and more widely.It contains a lot of opportunities here, of course, there will be challenges, such as the terminal side of the calculated power consumption and thermal efficiency will become particularly important.
Beijing News: more and more cell phone manufacturers hit AI flag, cell phone form may be subverted it?
Meng Pu: In the future, the application of artificial intelligence on mobile phones will become more and more widespread. Mobile phones may become our 'personal housekeeper' and can be used to manage our life and work. This is very advantageous and there are many In the future, ubiquitous terminal-side AI augments cloud AI, and in our world of anticipation AI will make terminals, machines, cars and everything smarter, and simplify and enrich us Everyday life
Beijing News: Every industry and social progress and progress along with the technological breakthroughs, do you think the next wave of technology is what?
Meng Pu: Today, Dalian Connect and Big Data have become the theme of the development of human society.In the future, billions of mobile terminals with extraordinary connectivity and computing power will be integrated with innovations in the fields of robotics, artificial intelligence and autonomous driving, To bring an unprecedented innovation revolution, 5G will be the catalyst for the wave of innovation in the future.
The same question and answer
What do you think the biggest change in the Internet industry over the past year?
Meng Pu: The booming and connected technologies of mobile internet have been adopted by a wider range of industries, such as China's 'new big four inventions' - sharing bicycles, mobile payments, online shopping and high-speed railways. The first three are based on wireless connectivity technology.
Looking forward to the next five years, what trends do you think the Internet industry in the world will have?
Meng Pu: In the next five years, the development of mobile technology will extend the 'all-in-one' to 'all-things Internet', which will greatly enhance the efficiency of industry, agriculture and service industries.
What are your expectations for the coming year?
Meng: In the coming year, we will more actively implement the strategy of 'Internet +' and 'Made in China 2025' proposed by the Chinese government and will work together with our Chinese partners to achieve win-win situations and work together to open up a smart future.
