Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission jointly issued a notice on accelerating the 5G development, requiring all departments to improve policy support and accelerate the development of 5G (the fifth generation of mobile phone mobile communication standard, also known as the fifth generation mobile communication technology). The joint notice from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the SASAC made the development of 5G once again the focus of attention. According to relevant media reports, Hangzhou will build China’s first 5G experimental site based on the 3GPP standard. Currently, Zhejiang Mobile is already in the Wulin Commercial Circle in Hangzhou. Qianjiang New City, Xihu Scenic Area and Binjiang High-tech Zone have built several 5G experimental sites, trying to build Hangzhou into a 5G city. The 5G era is coming soon.
No matter whether it is the national level or the enterprise, they are making every effort to promote the development of 5G technology. What kind of benefits does 5G bring to people? How does it change our current society?
Compared to the 4G (4th generation mobile phone mobile communication standard) currently used, the 5G network has three major characteristics: Extremely high speed, large capacity, and extremely low latency. 5G The network has successfully reached 1Gbps in the 28 GHz band, and the future 5G network has a transmission rate of 10Gbps, which means that mobile users can complete the download of a high-definition movie in less than one second. 5G network also With the flexibility to support a variety of different devices, in addition to supporting mobile phones and tablet computers, 5G networks will also need to support wearable devices, and concepts such as car networking, Internet of Things, smart cities, and drone networks will become a reality. In addition, 5G will be further applied to the fields of industry, medical care, safety, etc., which can greatly promote the production efficiency in these fields and create new production methods. The emergence of 4G networks has made the delay of mobile networks reach the 100ms mark. Makes applications that require higher real-time performance such as games, video, and data phones possible, and the emergence of 5G networks will reduce delays to a lower level, and will result in more applications requiring extreme delays. Soil for growth.
The development of 5G network technology not only can make people's lives become extremely convenient, but also can create huge industrial value. According to the statistics of related departments, it is estimated that by 2035, China's 5G value chain output will reach 984 billion US dollars. , The number of job creation is 9.5 million, which is much higher than that of other countries in the world. The emergence of a series of new industries such as 5G base stations, 5G terminals, and 5G chips will greatly stimulate the development of various industries in the society, including the plastic industry. positive influence.
In terms of 5G terminals, chip giant Qualcomm and OPPO, a well-known mobile phone manufacturer in China, held a media briefing. During the conference, OPPO used a prototype machine to demonstrate the 5G network speed. It is understood that The mobile phone has a downlink speed of 1.4Gbps and a downlink speed of 160Mbps. According to statistics, after the development of 4G technology, only in May of this year, the country's 4G mobile phone market shipped 37.836 million units, despite the 4G mobile phone's output compared to last year. The proportion of volume decreased,
From January to May this year, the number of mobile phone shipments was as high as 159 million. Such a huge mobile phone market will inevitably drive the development of other industries once it is commercially available. The various plastic materials used in mobile phones will also be extremely large. Drive the development of its industry.
The construction of 5G terminals and 5G base stations is also a huge project and market. The 4G base stations are also taken as an example. According to statistics, as of 2017, there are 3.28 million 4G base stations for mobile companies, and there are 500 base stations for three major operators. More than 10,000. 4G base stations used in the construction of the radio frequency devices, antennas and optical modules and other major equipment are required to use plastic materials, such as the antenna to use a new material PTFE PTFE, but the domestic can produce this material There are not many plastic companies. The antenna used by 5G base stations has higher requirements for materials. The relevant experts also indicated that the number of 5G base stations will be more than twice the number of 4G base stations. Only the construction of a base station will bring plastic industry. Great income.
Although the commercialization of 5G has not come yet, the country began to implement a 5G commercial layout as early as 2013. The MWC Mobile World Congress held earlier this year has become a stage for all parties to show their 5G results. Huawei is also pulling this year. The 5G commercial network construction is kicked off. 5G is getting closer and closer to the people. For the plastics industry, it is necessary to keep abreast of the trend of 5G technology development, to produce materials with unique quality and excellent performance, and to manage the '5G' that belongs to the plastics industry. 'era.
