And in overseas markets, the three major South Korean communications operators 5G Auction spectrum results of 5G, but also once let the market attracted much attention. Recently, "Daily economic news" reporter field visit South Korea this pioneer industry, exclusive interview with South Korea, one of the three communications operators LG Uplus 5G Strategy Vice President Kim Daxi, the revelation of the difference between the two countries 5G commercial racing.
In fact, LG Uplus 3 years ago and Huawei on 5G related content reached a cooperation. Kim Daxi to the daily economic news reporter, South Korea is expected to open the end of the year 5G, and the Korean 5G equipment is not like the previous media reported that the major operators 100% share.
Even in order to reduce investment and accelerate the deployment of 5G, late-stage operations will not be shared among operators, he said.
China, South Korea beaches 5G commercial circuit Not long ago, the three major communications operators in Korea 5G Auction spectrum results were released. LG Uplus won the 3.42ghz-3.5ghz Band (80MHz) and 27.3ghz-28.1ghz Band (800MHZ); KT won the 3.5ghz-3.6ghz Band (100MHz) and the 26.5ghz-27.3ghz Band (800MHZ);
SK Telecom has won the 3.6ghz-3.7g (100MHz) and 28.1ghz-28.9ghz Band (800MHZ).
Speaking of the results of the auction spectrum, Kim Daxi told the Daily economic news reporter that the results were a result of a government intervention and mutual consultation. In February this year, in South Korea held the 23rd Olympic Games, Korea telecom operators KT teamed up with the industry chain of all links to provide 5G network services, to achieve the first show of 5G commercial.
Great Wall Securities at the time of the study show that this is expected to further promote the global operators and other companies in the industry chain to accelerate their 5G layout. And in the recently concluded Shanghai World Mobile Congress, China's three major telecom operators announced the latest 5G progress. China Unicom will conduct 5G business scale demonstration application and trial commercial in 2019, and plan to be commercial in 2020.
China Mobile strives for 2018 scale test, 2019 to achieve pre-commercial, 2020 full commercial.
In fact, China and South Korea, and even global operators are impatient to publish their 5G commercial blueprint, because the 5G industry has entered the sprint stage.
June 14, the 3GPP 5G nr Standard SA (Standalone, independent Networking) program was officially completed and released at the 3GPP 80th TSG ran plenary, which means that 5G has completed the first phase of fully functional standardization and has entered the commercial landing phase. In the 5G industry development process, the cooperation between enterprises has already quietly opened.
July 2015, LG Uplus and Huawei signed the joint development of 5G Network Technical Cooperation Memorandum of understanding, will be in the 5G technology, equipment development, new network solutions and other areas of all-round cooperation. ' Many media are guessing that LG Uplus and Huawei are working together, is Huawei's product cheaper? But this is not completely accurate and complete reason, the introduction of Huawei is because the price of equipment is competitive, the biggest advantage is higher technical advantages. ' When it comes to cooperation with Huawei, Kim Daxi recalls that a lot of research has been done before choosing to co-operate with Huawei, but eventually Huawei's technology and cost-performance are high and decided to co-operate.
Since July 2015, the two sides have maintained strategic cooperation.
Korean 5G devices will not be fully shared
5G standardization Step by step, in order to promote the commercialization of 5G, countries adopted a different path. Fu Liang, a telecoms industry analyst, told the Daily Economic news reporter that at present, all countries attach great importance to the development and application of 5G, many operators see the application of 5G technology as a major factor in the future of the voice of the communications market, at present, both China and Korea have been ranked 5G technology research and development and application of the first echelon,
and to the industrial chain Enterprises will also release a larger dividend. It is different from some telecom operators in China to choose the form of independent networking. Earlier, media reports said that the three major South Korean operators decided to share 5G network and equipment. In response to the statement, Kim Daxi, the daily economic news reporter, said: ' Not particularly accurate, will not be fully shared.
' Kim Daxi said, in fact, the three operators are not 100% of the shared network and equipment, in order to reduce investment, accelerate 5G deployment, efficient use of resources, reduce duplication of investment, only share a part of the construction of 5G equipment, the late operation is not shared.
Kim Daxi further explained that the equipment can not be shared, originating from the different broadband frequency of each communication company, the core equipment still needs the operators to solve their own. As Kim Daxi, South Korea's three major operators share part of the construction of ancillary equipment from the investment considerations, this and the cost of 5G are inseparable. Kim Daxi that, from the cost of equipment, 5G cost more than 4G, but this is not a hindrance to the development of 5G industry.
Kim Daxi mentioned that the price of 5G equipment will be reduced over time, in addition, the cost of 5G is more manufacturers, equipment vendors in the commitment, the user will not be able to pay very high. At the same time, the major operators of the 5G competition also prompted the 5G mobile phone listing time speculation. Kim Daxi to reporters, South Korea's Samsung, LG are in the preparation of 5G mobile phones, LG Group has ready 5G mobile phones, the earliest will be listed in March 2019, the specific shipments are not clear.
With the listing of 5G handsets, LG Uplus's 5G commercialization path will be further. At home, the current manufacturers have set the timetable in the second half of 2019 years.
Xu Zhijun, Huawei's rotating chairman, has said publicly that it will launch a 5G Kylin chip in 2019 and will launch a 5G-backed smartphone in June 2019. Korea 5G equipment is not shared | LG's operators bind Huawei Sprint Commercial
