However, it is expected that 5G commercial products other than mobile phones will spring up in the current MWC - from Huawei's two 5G CPEs, to Samsung's 5G home routers, to Intel's conceptual 5G. Connected notebooks - 5G commercial "boxes" outside the mobile phone line have been fully opened by first-line vendors. Among these, Huawei, in particular, the company's 5G product line president Yang Chaobin has released the end-to-end full range of 5G products based on the Weibo 3GPP standard. The solution, and exhibited 5G related practical cases, opened a broader 5G commercial imagination and real world.
Opening the 5G era, starting with a unified understanding
In fact, an easily misunderstood fact is that 5G networks with high-speed, large-capacity, and low-latency characteristics will be far more mobile than mainstream handsets, and more will be in the vertical industry, industrial manufacturing, and so on. ' The scene, it will open a truly digital world of interconnected, intelligent people should be able to see the true potential of 5G.
Huawei Wireless X Labs released a white paper as early as the end of last year, imagining 5 of the 5G application scenarios, including cloud VR/AR, car networking, smart manufacturing, smart energy, wireless medical care, wireless home entertainment, connected drones, social networking , Personal AI assistants and smart cities. It is clearly seen that wireless home entertainment, social networking, and personal AI assistants that connect people and people, and people and things are placed in the back position, and the connection between objects and things is placed. First position.
Therefore, in this MWC, in addition to using a simple sentence to describe the company will launch 5G mobile phones in 2019, Huawei will focus on infrastructure and more important industrial applications. As Yang Chaobin and Huawei 5G product line related personnel are receiving According to media interviews, 4G has achieved a very high level of connection between people and people. The true charm of 5G lies in a wider range of industry applications.
From Huawei's current end-to-end full range of 5G product solutions, Huawei has built a complete infrastructure for 5G networks covering core networks, transmissions, basebands, sites and terminals, forming the only industry in the industry today. 5G's end-to-end full range of product solutions are well-prepared for the opening of the 5G era. What is left for industry customers is how to take off based on these infrastructures.
Brain hole opened, Huawei demonstrated three major 5G application examples
So what can 5G achieve in the industry applications beyond reality? Huawei's GSMA Innovation City in MWC2018 (GSMA Innovation City, MWC organizer GSMA specifically set up a region, focused on the 5G and other mobile network changes to promote Innovations in Healthcare, Retail, Industrial, Transportation, etc.) The exhibition area featured Digital Sky, Cloud VR's landing on the moon, Wireless Factory's three major application examples, demonstrating a wide-open, ultra-realistic and exciting 5G application scroll. .
1, Digital Sky: Take a flight to work
The unmanned ground vehicle talked about slow progress for many years, but the unmanned ground of the sky became easier to get along because of simple road conditions and 5G power. In this MWC, Huawei and the leading UAV manufacturer Yihang exhibited the world. The first manned drone eHANG 184, which uses 5G's high speed, low latency and other features to provide control and navigation, makes it possible for helicopters to fly into the homes of ordinary people - and is truly unmanned.
This operator can remotely control the flying of the air through the 5G wireless network with only the remote control. Although it seems to face the problems of aviation control, flight safety and aircraft life, it intuitively and powerfully explains to the industry. With the help of 5G networks, connected vehicles are the basic concept of future transportation infrastructure. Imagine that in the near future, based on the popularization of 5G networks and the establishment of related management systems, an unmanned aerial vehicle will be used. The days will no longer be fantasy.
2, 5G CG Cloud VR: An immersive exploration of the moon
Since Apollo's first human footprint on the Moon in 1969, the dream of people returning to the moon has not stopped. However, due to factors such as technology and cost, all countries have not tried again easily. Garin also has no successors. This time MWC, based on the high speed and low latency of 5G networks, Huawei and VR equipment vendors have demonstrated that by using a simple VR game, they realize the moon landing experience that the average person dreams of.
In this VR game, you will easily realize a billion-dollar dream of landing on the moon: Astronaut who becomes a virtual world, Really feels the astronaut's perspective on the Moon's foot-footed giant rocky earth overlooking the blue earth, and with The partners completed the tasks such as monthly inspections and soil collection. From the perspective of technology realization, there are several bright spots related to 5G, including full clouding, high-bandwidth transmission and ultra-low latency, etc. They solved VR. The original "wire system" of AR equipment, such as vertigo, can make the experience even higher.
3, Wireless Fully Connected Factory: Making Flexible Manufacturing Simple and Easy
As we all know, based on customization, customization and other consumer upgrades, flexibility and flexible manufacturing have always been the pursuit of modern manufacturing capabilities. Now this capability has become clear with the help of 5G. This MWC, Based on 5G's large-capacity, low-latency features, Huawei demonstrated a wireless factory example and demonstrated how robots without spider-like cable restraints can quickly adapt to meet demand and achieve higher levels of flexible manufacturing.
In the wireless smart factory demonstration conducted by Denso and Huawei, Demo used a wireless network to connect nine WAVE robots in the 'factory'. They formed a division of labor and cooperation through wireless networks, and could quickly assemble three different types of ballpoint pens according to demand. , Even the buyer's name is engraved on the pen case, to achieve the C2B reverse customization of the consumer industry to talk about. With the various features of the 5G network, this scenario is expected to spread in large-scale factories, during which the robot is getting rid of After being constrained by cables and assembly lines, they will be able to perform tasks more flexibly and on demand, just like a real worker.
It can be seen from the above that the above three cases correspond to the networked UAVs that Huawei Wireless X Labs imagined, cloud VR/AR and smart manufacturing scenarios, which have unveiled the tip of the iceberg for 5G industry applications. Experience and business value, let people see the application space and commercial value of 5G.
Huawei provides 'black land'. Where is BAT in the 5G era?
It is worth mentioning that from the above-mentioned theories to practices, Huawei is not pursuing closed doors, but is working with all parties in the industry to jointly explore the value and application potential of 5G networks. Standing at the top of the wave of major changes in 5G, In this MWC, Huawei called on the entire industry to work together to break through the traditional boundaries of capacity, connectivity, business, experience, and cooperation to move toward the intelligent world of the Internet of Everything. Huawei, as always, focused on empowerment and empowerment. As Huawei Managing Director, Strategic Marketing President Xu Wenwei said: 'Through focusing on ICT infrastructure and smart terminals, Huawei provides an information-based, automated, intelligent 'black land' for the content, application, and growth of various partners. "Then, in this dark land, will the pattern of the future digital economy change? Or, vulgarly, who is the BAT in the 5G era?"
It is undeniable that the success of BAT cannot be separated from the support of 3G and 4G. They have brought people-to-people connections to the extreme. But in the process, the gap between them and the operators who provide the network infrastructure is also obvious. OTT has been for many years. In the 5G era, the Wulian Federation will become the main battlefield. The upstream and downstream relations of the pure industrial chain are no longer sufficient to meet their respective development aspirations. The open and win-win ecosystem is the key to victory. This provides the possibility of rewriting the digital economy pattern.
From the perspective of Huawei's practice, its rise cannot be separated from the open and win-win ecological spirit, its 'integrated' strategy of IT business, and the 'three no' principle of cloud business (do not apply, do not touch data, do not do Equity investment, etc., all deeply reflect the company's way of life. At this MWC, Huawei was able to take the lead in launching a full range of end-to-end 5G product solutions and took the lead in exciting application examples. It seems to Yang Chaobin. It is also the result of open cooperation.
In terms of 5G, data shows that Huawei has cooperated with more than 30 top operators worldwide including China Mobile, China Telecom, China Unicom, Vodafone, SoftBank, T-Mobile, BT and Telefonica. In 2017, Huawei took the lead and cooperation. The partners jointly opened 5G pre-commercial networks. In 2018, they continued to promote the improvement of the industrial chain and complete interoperability testing. They also supported the first round of 5G commercial product solutions. In the future, Huawei will work with industry partners to promote global standards and jointly innovate. , Promote the 5G standardization and industrialization process, build a beautiful era of the Internet of Everything.
This way of thinking and practical experience is worthy of referring to the industry players in the 5G era. Fully, early recognition of the great magic of the 5G era, and technology and ecological leaders, the industry players can win a broader connection to the Internet of Things. The world has become a digital economy service provider of BAT in the 5G era!
