Five trends in mobile communications |

The main axis of the Mobile Communications World Congress in 2018 is "Creating a Better Future." We hope to bring a better future to the people through new technologies, new products and new services. From the conference keynote "Creating a Better" According to Service Provider (creating a good service provider), the organizers of the GSMA Association, telecommunications operators NTT DoCoMo, China Mobile, Telia, Telefonica and Vodafone all stated that a bright future will be built on 5G and the Internet of Things.

For example: NTT DoCoMo is expected to provide excellent networking applications through 5G networks and various sensors during the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, including the use of Internet of Vehicles as a means of transportation within the Olympic Village to bring an extraordinary traffic experience to viewers and athletes; After VR, AR, wearable device simulation training, change the preparation for the game.

Looking at the main axis of the conference, focusing on five major topics such as 5G, mobile terminals, service content, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things, the industries involved include the telecommunications industry, as well as professional areas such as factories, medical care, retail, and transportation, and the overall industry. Ecology will create a new market for mobile communications services through cross-domain cooperation. Looking at MWC 2018 key points, 5G, AI, Internet of Things, smart terminals, and cross-domain integration of service content, there will be opportunities to address the growth of revenue growth in the mobile communications market. , The increasing cost of capital expenditures/operating expenses, and the reduction of network operating costs with virtualized networks and open architecture networks.

2018 MWC Five Spindle Chart / Economic Daily Provided

Spindle One >> Mobile Terminal Micro Innovation

5G, AI brings new highlights to mobile phones. The mobile terminal is equipped with hardware design, dual-lens, full-screen design, fingerprint identification, face recognition, wireless charging, bio-sensing, etc. It is the standard equipment of the flagship model, this year in 5G and With AI injection, the handset will have new highlights. The 5G standard will complete the second phase of development in June 2018. Each chip manufacturer has announced the launch of commercial chips in early 2019. The 5G smart phone is expected to be launched in 2019. In addition, many Mobile phone chips start to support AI computing. At present, they are mainly used in photography, user habits analysis, observation of the user's surrounding environment, etc. Mobile phones can provide personalized services according to user needs. With 5G and AI, it is expected to create growth needs.

Spindle Two >> 5G accelerates industrial transformation

In addition to providing mobile broadband services, 5G networks will be more closely integrated with smart cities, transportation, medical care, and heavy industry. In terms of technology development, 5G networks will be open, virtual, and will incorporate AI, edge computing, and other technologies. Automated networks, while governments and the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) are accelerating the release of spectrum licenses. Among them, the Sub-6GHz band, such as 3.5GHz, is already open for use in many countries, and high-frequency 28GHz, 60GHz, and 77/79GHz are also widely used. The use of 5G services. The arrival of 5G will accelerate the cooperation and transformation of new applications, new technologies, and new spectrum, and create smarter next-generation mobile communication networks.

Spindle 3 >> Internet of Things combines new technologies

The IoT application at this year's show will focus on smart agriculture, water and electricity meter monitoring, bridge monitoring, emergency events, smart lighting, and smart locks; using many emerging technologies such as AI, narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT), edge computing In the provision of IoT services, such as terminal links, platform analysis, and application services, all adopt AI solutions to formally meet the advent of the AIoT era. With the cooperation of the upstream and downstream industries, IoT application services can be more stable and lower. Delays, operates in a more secure environment, and reduces hardware costs, optimizing user experience direction.

Spindle IV>>AR AV new experience

AR enters more intelligent handheld devices.

Ericsson estimates that 73% of mobile data traffic will come from AV content in 2023. AR/VR applications will prompt a rapid increase in data traffic. IDC estimates that AR/VR output will reach US$215 billion in 2021, compared to 114 in 2017. Billion dollars grew nearly 19 times.

Spindle Five >> AI extends to new application

In the past, AI was mainly used in mobile phones, smart speakers, robots and other products to provide voice user interface, face unlocking, photo recognition, etc. Gartner estimates that in 2017, about 10% of built-in AIs in smart phones will increase to 2022. 80%. This year MWC began to extend to AR/VR, 5G network, edge computing, Internet of Things, OTT video and audio services, for example: 5G network and AI combined to minimize the configuration of network parameters; video and audio services combined with AI can be precise Recommend users like videos, advertisements, improve user's adhesion.
