According to the People's Posts and Telecommunications, the three major domestic operators obtained the national license for the low and medium frequency bands of 5G last week. This indicates that the nationwide large-scale trial of 5G is about to begin, and the commercialization of 5G network in China has taken a real step.
The full name of 5G is the fifth generation mobile communication technology (5G). Compared with 4G, it has brought our life into the era of mobile Internet. It has stronger performance and can support ultra-high-speed data transmission. Real-time communication will enjoy ultra-low delay, and it can connect very large-scale application scenarios. These functions will gradually change our lives.

Since Samsung galaxy Co., Ltd. announced the successful development of the core technology of 5G on May 3, 20 13, major communication companies, telecom equipment companies and telecom operators in major countries have begun to actively participate in the research and development of 5G in order to commercialize it as soon as possible.
However, according to the existing technical reserves and equipment research and development, only Huawei, ZTE, Ericsson, Nokia and Samsung Electronics have the ability to complete a full set of services from planning, design to construction, installation to debugging and maintenance. Among them, except Huawei can come up with a plan and implement it immediately, other mature products will have to wait until 20 19.
At present, the commercialization of 5G is just around the corner, and telecom operators in major countries or regions have found suitable communication or corresponding equipment providers to develop hand in hand. Then let's look at it by region. What are the trends of 5G commercial layout in major countries?

Northeast Asia
Japan: 20 14 On May 8th, Japanese telecom operator NTTDoCoMo officially announced that it will cooperate with six manufacturers including Ericsson, Nokia and Samsung to start testing the 5G network technology, and hopes to officially commercialize it before 2020. However, Japanese media reported recently that the three major mobile communication operators NTTDoCoMo, KDDI(au) and Softbank have decided not to adopt China products, such as 5G base stations. In addition, Lotte, which will set foot in mobile communication in the autumn of 20 19, also put forward the same policy. Considering that among Japanese telecom operators, only Softbank and DoCoMo in the current 4G network have adopted Huawei and ZTE's equipment in some areas. It is more likely to be replaced in the future. Therefore, Japan's 5G will adopt Ericsson or Nokia's complete sets of equipment with high probability.

America region
United States: It is reported that many telecom operators, including Verizon Communications, are in contact with 5G equipment suppliers in the United States and Europe, and it is expected that actual tests will be conducted in some areas in the next few months. Considering the U.S. government's ban on China companies, the 4G operations of Huawei and ZTE in remote areas of the United States will also come to an end. Moreover, there are rumors that under the "matchmaking" of the US government, Cisco is joining hands with Ericsson to increase its 5G investment in the United States in order to occupy a higher market share.
Canada: Although Canada does not explicitly prohibit Huawei and ZTE from participating in the 5G bidding, considering the pressure from the US government, Canada will eventually "selectively" choose the same equipment supplier as the United States to promote the commercial operation of 5G networks in Canada.
Brazil: In June 5438+this year 10, the Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovation and Communication (MCTIC) of Brazil signed a memorandum of understanding with Huawei, covering the technical and economic feasibility study of helping Brazil build a 5G broadband network and an optical fiber network.

Although many countries prohibit China companies from participating in its 5G network construction for various reasons, considering that the purpose of 5G network is to better realize cloud VR/AR, car networking, intelligent manufacturing, smart energy, wireless medical, wireless home entertainment, networked drones, social networks, personal AI assistants, smart cities and a series of large-scale scene applications, as well as the distribution of existing 4G base stations around the world, Huawei will still receive the largest number of 5G orders in the world; Followed by Ericsson, Nokia, Cisco and other European and American companies; Samsung galaxy will enjoy advantages in some countries and regions.
However, it is worth noting that in the 5G communication equipment, the technical patents of each family are mutually compatible and intertwined. Therefore, even if some countries do not use Huawei's complete sets of equipment, they will still use Huawei's registered patented technology. In the same way, even if the 5G network of Huawei equipment is used, a considerable number of foreign parts suppliers will benefit from it. In other words, in the global 5G network layout, you already have me and I have your status. Therefore, we don't need to feel "happy" or "sad" about the gains and losses of "one city, one place".
