Keddy pointed out that 5G will combine wireless communication, computing and the cloud to achieve a fully interconnected society and create more business and financial opportunities. A unified standard is essential for 5G development, which will enable the industry to design prototypes. Build and test 5G chips and infrastructure, and promote future evolution based on final standards. 5G NR provides the industry with the protection of 5G technology, enabling the original 4G infrastructure to smoothly transition to 5G, while the 5G SA standard is profitable. , is to enable 5G deployment without the need for 4G infrastructure.
Keddy believes that after the 5G SA specification is finalized, real innovation will begin, the industry will promote 5G commercialization more quickly, and Intel will continue to provide the necessary technology to cooperate with operators and manufacturers around the world. Global collaboration for testing and implementation of standard technologies to achieve a 5G experience of flexible, agile and virtualized architectures.
For example, in early 2018, Intel and Huawei cooperated to demonstrate 5G interoperability testing and 5G NSA-based development testing (IODT); or in conjunction with Ericsson and China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology to complete 5G 3.5GHz multi-vendor interoperability testing in Beijing, and Ziguang has cooperated to develop a 5G smart phone platform for the Chinese market to support the deployment of 5G networks in the future.
On the other hand, in order to accelerate the commercialization of 5G, Intel also released a new 5G network infrastructure reference design, enabling communication service providers (CoSP) to quickly deploy new services. This network infrastructure reference design is like a blueprint. Enables service providers to quickly deploy software-defined, cloud-enabled, agile 5G-ready networks to support virtual, converged augmented reality and smart retail, industrial automation, Internet of Things and cloud gaming, and quickly launch Development of edge computing and related services, as well as shortening time to market.
