It is reported that Samsung will provide more than 200 venues supporting 5G tablet device user-specific equipment to view content and schedule data; Korea Telecom will be installed in the figure skating gym 100 cameras, allowing viewers to watch the game from more perspectives, including In the sleigh race, the organizers even set up a camera on the sled to create a new spectator experience, in addition to which, Korea Telecom will also set up a showroom that integrates 5G networks and VRs to provide simulated ski jumping experience.
On this basis, to ensure first-class viewing experience, are inseparable from the support of 5G network.
In fact, this time to provide 5G service for the Winter Olympics, the seeds have been planted a month ago January 11, South Korea Ministry of Science and Technology Information and Communications held a 5G special session, participants including South Korea Telecom, SK Telecom, LG U, etc. More than a dozen companies provide 5G parts, equipment and services.
During the meeting, Yoo Young-min, Minister of Science and Technology Information and Communication, revealed important information: 'The government hopes that South Korea will take the lead in launching the world's first 5G service in March 2019 and the earlier deployment of 5G network, which will form the basis of Industry 4.0. The division is crucial to South Korea's lead in global 5G development. "
Shortly before the meeting, Yoo Young-min had asked Korea Telecom to conduct a 5G pilot at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in February and Korea Telecom promised to showcase the 5G at the Winter Olympics.
Among them, three operators, including KT, are expected to invest more than 10 trillion won (about 60.95 billion yuan) in 2018 for 5G deployment.
In the meantime, Intel and Samsung, which provide 5G support for this Winter Olympics, have their own unique layout in the 5G field in the recent year.
5G is strategic to Intel, not only because 5G is the fifth-generation technology for wireless connectivity, but more importantly, as Robert J. Topol, general manager of next-generation technology at Intel Communications and Appliances Group, and global head of 5G, Robert J. Topol It is the foundation of the first generation of interconnect computing, which means that with so many devices connected to each other and given their computing power, this opens up enormous business opportunities for vendors such as Intel that provide an end-to-end solution.
The first step Intel currently focuses on is to interoperate with 5G networks with IT infrastructure vendors and network operators to ensure that the system can do this interoperability over a 5G network, with the next step being ownership After the standard, Intel is going to conduct a large number of tests based on the standard.Once successful in these interoperability tests, operators should face two choices: one is NSA-NR; the other is independent network (SA -NR).
Robert J. Topol also pointed out that China will see some 5G networks provided by network operators by 2019. Large-scale 5G and 5G network services will have to wait until 2020. The deployment time also depends on the IT infrastructure providers and customers End (handheld) readiness.
Samsung again South Korea is currently the only company invested 5G baseband chip development companies, but also vigorously develop 5G baseband technology, one of the manufacturers.
In mid-2017, Samsung, Cisco and Verizon successfully tested multi-vendor end-to-end 5G networks using NFV (Network Functional Virtualisation) and some of Verizon's mobile networks.
The pilot for the 5G network is the first in a multi-vendor deployment of 5G networks in Ann Arbor, Mich. The test was supported by the Cisco Ultra Services Platform's 5G virtualized packet core and Samsung's vRAN solution, as well as Samsung's 5G wireless base stations and 5G home routers vRAN is a new, low-cost, rapidly deployable next-generation green wireless network architecture that effectively reduces system TCO, shortens TTM time, and provides a common, open platform for third-party applications.
Under Verizon's 5G Technical Forum specification, three companies run a series of NVIOT tests (network provider interoperability tests) on the network to enable interoperability between core networks, radio edges and user equipment As well as the NFV. Verizon will hold a 5G technology forum in 2016 and will promote the 5G standard through this forum.
According to stakeholders from the three companies, the success of the 5G network demonstrates the need for key 5G technologies. "The shift to NFV will create new opportunities for the industry value chain." Woojune, Vice President, 5G Network Business, Samsung Electronics Kim said this.
Last month, Samsung said in a statement that Samsung, through its cooperation with Verizon, has explored the tremendous potential of 5G through market trials across the United States.
In addition, Samsung and Cisco, Verizon will also work with suppliers such as Ericsson, Intel, LG, Nokia and Qualcomm to deploy multi-vendor 5G pre-commercial networks in 10 other U.S. cities including Atlanta, Bernersville, Dayton, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Miami, Sacramento, Seattle and Washington, DC.
According to the spokesman, each city will have different "test parameters" assigned to different suppliers, geographical features, population density, etc. Ann Arbor will be the first city to implement a multi-vendor 5G deployment. This test shows , 5G network can use multi-vendor solutions for personalized configuration.
From the various players in the 5G road input and progress can be seen after the Winter Olympics, there will be more and more pilot area 5G practical application services, and thus promote the end-to-end 5G product portfolio commercialization process. Source: Lei Feng network
