Intel has recently launched a new Radio to support the 5G radio. NR) Specification 5G Mobile test Platform (Intel mobile Trial Platform), hoping to accelerate the development and adoption process of 5G wireless technology. The company's top executives also point out that the time course for 5G wireless technology will accelerate as telecoms firms and companies are overwhelmed by the surge in data. According to eWEEK reports, Intel Network Platform Department vice President Sandra Rivera pointed out that the development of 5G related standards is quite hot, showing that the market is actually looking forward to 5G can appear earlier, 5G NR preliminary specifications are expected to report at the end of December 2017, 2018 approved, compared to less than 2 years ago is a major progress. To take the lead in 5G development, Intel has begun 5G testing with at, Ericsson (Ericsson), Verizon, Cisco (Cisco) and Swedish telecom Telia. September 2017, the company also launched the latest use of Core i7 chip and FPGA 5G Mobile test platform. Rivera pointed out that the timing of the 2019 or 2020 years will be more progress, the 2018 specifications can be finalized, the beginning of the year began to appear in the initial components, 2020 began to appear in large numbers. The commentary points out that the next generation of wireless technology 5G, followed by 4G LTE, is expected to achieve a significant increase in speed and data capacity and the ability to lower latency and support more networking devices. With the rapid growth of the Internet of Things (IoT), the 2020 global network of devices, systems and sensors will come to 20 billion, and the film will continue to be a large volume of traffic, such as data analysis and virtual and augmented reality and other emerging technologies are popular, but also to improve the development of 5G network urgency. The carrier expects 5G to be $number times faster than the existing 4G network, and downloading 1 high-definition videos to the phone will take only a few seconds to complete. Rivera also believes that data is the main reason for accelerating 5G development, as data is continuing to explode. As a result, telecommunications providers including at, Verizon,-and Sprint have prepared 5G tests and are rapidly transforming infrastructure through software-defined networks (SDN) and Network functional Virtualization (NFV) to adopt 5G and IoT. As for Intel, Cisco, Qualcomm (QUALCOMM) and Samsung Electronic (Samsung Electronics) and other industries participate in 5G testing and actively put into standard-setting and build their own product solutions. Ericsson also optimistic that 5G will be quickly adopted, the company reported in November 2017 that in 2023, more than 20% people in the world will be covered by 5G, then the number of 5G registration will come to 1 billion. In 2019, there will be the first commercial deployment, the start of a rapid increase in the next year, the initial deployment will appear in the cities, and mainly in the United States, the mainland, South Korea and Japan. Intel is also aggressively expanding its visibility in the network market, and Rivera points out that the company has ink on its network market and all the devices that provide a 5 G end-to-end network. Traditionally, the network infrastructure of telecom operators belongs to the gates, fixed-function devices such as load balancing and virtual private networks use proprietary ASIC chips, but many of the tasks of fixed-function hardware are transferred to the software and executed on industry standards and Intel servers as the telecommunications network is transformed and the SDN and NFV are introduced. The approach is to follow the Hyperscaler and cloud vendors to benefit from the industry-standard system economy, and will not only use Intel CPUs, but also other FPGA technologies and Intel's own ASIC capabilities.
