5G faces forced maturing: the commercial network speed will be 100 times higher than 4G in 2020
At some recent communication forums, 5G has become more and more popular. Experts all over the world have ingeniously structured the 5G era. From innovative technology to speed breakthroughs, to application scenarios and large-scale commercial use, practitioners in some countries have even begun to dream of "leading the 5G trend", and began to think about making a fortune from 5G commercial use, Is it Norway or Sweden? In fact, there is no unified standard for the whole telecom union in the 5G era. According to the previous rough definition, the 3G era weaves the mobile Internet, and the 4G era is high-speed Internet access. The 5G era should increase the network speed by more than 100 times, and at the same time, make the communication network everywhere, whether in the Sahara Desert in Africa or the Himalayas in Asia, If users want, they can even chat on QQ/WeChat in the Antarctic Penguins
From this rough definition, the shaping of the 5G era requires disruptive technology. If only using existing technology, telecom workers will never be able to pull optical fibers into the desert. The iron tower installed in Antarctica will be frozen into powder in less than two days. Maybe Google's hot-air balloon plan will bring new ideas, while Huawei Any new technology in Cisco Labs that can improve the transmission rate is likely to play a big role in the 5G era. In fact, in the current 5G rate plan, the network transmission speed will be increased to 10Gbps to 1000Gbps, about 100 times more than that in the 4G era.
The increase in speed means that the amount of data per unit area will grow geometrically, which requires not only supporting application scenarios, but also higher requirements for product hardware. For example, Apple's AN+1 chip needs 100 times the current processing capacity, and the display capacity of the Retain screen needs to be more prominent, otherwise it will waste huge amounts of data. Of course, the biggest challenge comes from the battery, If the current iPhone battery is used in the 5G era, it can take up to 2 minutes. Based on this, the maturity of the 5G era requires not only ZTE, Huawei, Ericsson and other telecom equipment manufacturers to develop subversive transmission technologies, but also terminal manufacturers to produce subversive hardware, and even consumers to put forward subversive demands, just as iPhone is the most dazzling star in the 3G era, and consumers' demand for "mobile Internet access" is the biggest driving force of 3G.
In the newly exposed 5G schedule, relevant practitioners all hope that 5G will be commercially available in 2020. However, as mentioned above, the 5G era is the development of a comprehensive ecosystem. In fact, the new generation of mobile communications will go through a series of processes such as demand analysis, spectrum strategy research, key technology research, standardization development, test network construction, commercial deployment, etc, In just five years, we have completed all the work, which is obviously suspected of the Great Leap Forward and hastening the ripeness. Maybe after 2020, the telecommunications organization can work out the standard, and the theoretical speed in the laboratory can also reach the standard, but the world's human beings may not be ready for the Internet of Things, or in other words, the scene of the 5G era may not be the best scene, forcing fattening may be counterproductive!
In the 5G era, life is like a convenience store?
In the blueprint of the 5G era, ultra-high speed is only the most basic feature. It can be predicted that in 2020 or even earlier, it may only take 1 second for consumers to download a high-definition movie, and the network delay will be close to zero. Xiaosan in China's stock market can finally cut his meat and fill his position at will. In addition, more advanced application scenarios are also possible under the infinite network speed. In fact, there is no subversion in logic, but they will meet human needs for ultra-high traffic density, ultra-high connection density and ultra-high mobility. For example, compared with the previous Con Call, the current video conference has made great progress, but there are still many unsatisfactory aspects in its real application. The biggest disadvantage is still the call quality, especially the overseas video. The original language barrier, together with noise, delay, and packet loss, has greatly reduced the conference efficiency.
Based on the theoretical transmission rate, virtual reality will become a "real reality". In that scene, the amount of data is large, and it is not a problem to lose some of the transmission loss. It can also clearly show the facial expressions of the participants, so that they can truly experience a wonderland... Virtual reality is only one of the conveniences brought by 5G, When this high speed and low time delay gradually infiltrate into the industrial field, medical devices, and transportation vehicles, or will overturn human life beyond recognition, such as remote surgery, automatic driving, and the Internet of Things will become a reality.
Naturally, human beings should not refuse the emergence of new technologies. 5G technology will certainly improve the current work efficiency and greatly increase productivity. But the reason why the world still needs something other than philosophy, art, sports and other technologies is to balance "technology and humanity", especially in an era of ripening, it is more necessary to find the right balance point, Once the 5G speed exceeds the human endurance, downtime will happen sooner or later.
As we all know, mobile Internet brings convenience to human life, but it also brings many hidden dangers. The most important part of the complaint is undoubtedly the possession of time. It is not only the cleaning machine for fragmentary time, but also dismembers large chunks of time. More and more people are accustomed to getting information from their friends, fragmentary and castrated information. People with bowed heads can be seen everywhere. Mobile phone dependence is becoming increasingly serious. Severe patients feel disconnected from the world after leaving their mobile phones for more than 20 seconds, and fall into infinite anxiety.
And this is just a problem that ordinary consumers can realize. The bigger hidden danger comes from the servers and systems behind them, and from the invasion of ordinary people's privacy by new technology. Facebook CEO Zuckerberg once said that privacy as a moral concept will die completely. Because smart phones are everywhere, mobile Internet is like the five finger mountain of consumers, which can never escape. Any of our electronic behaviors and traces will be backed up in the background server, and the most embarrassing moments will often be inadvertently exposed. When you buy a house, there will always be people who decorate your WeChat and QQ. Since Snowden's prisms, ordinary people know that, The government can monitor everything on the Internet. These problems have begun to ferment in the 3G era, and will be uncontrollable in the 5G era. It is conservatively estimated that they will be more than 70 times serious. I don't know what else we can do in that era? Maybe opening an app every time will stimulate sensitive nerves.
In the new era of communication, human beings will lose the pleasure of being slow
In the face of the upcoming new communication era, people from all corners of the world have their own plans. Some technology maniacs dream of creating iPhone like products like Jobs, which will change the world and make history, while some political enthusiasts hope to create a new NASA plan to contribute to improving the competitiveness of the motherland. Others are simple and rude, Making a fortune in the 5G era and becoming a respectable business godfather... Maybe these are the ideas of genius, which is hard for ordinary people to understand deeply, but we also have our own feelings about 5G. To be specific, the author is full of fear of this ripening product, afraid that 5G will mess up the world, and let us lose the fun of slow forever!
Despite the complicated technology and business model, the core attribute of the 5G era is "fast". The new communication era and new communication tools will not only improve the efficiency of work and life, but also squeeze the human energy clean. For example, before the advent of smart phones, when we communicated with our friends from afar, we had to use paper letters. Naturally, this would delay some things in an emergency. But after all, most of the letters would not bear the burden of life and death. They were more just a platform for friends to exchange feelings. People like my generation have experienced the beauty of waiting for letters from afar, I have also received the contribution fee in the envelope from the magazine. Now, these beautiful things are gone. It only takes me 10 minutes to complete the whole process of sending and receiving contributions. What's worse, in the fast-paced life, I am no longer interested in writing contributions into literary works, because most editors want speed, passion and timeliness. In addition, the Internet of Things in the 5G era will certainly make great progress in mobile office. At first glance, white-collar workers can save some energy from squeezing subway and bus, but it also means that the boss can find you at any time, which is actually a higher level of squeezing. Once human energy cannot be effectively improved, then, The 5G era may be an atypical disaster for ordinary people.
Most of the art of life comes from a slow tone, and it is difficult for those who are in a hurry to understand the essence of life. In the 5G era, leisure will become a luxury, and more people will lose themselves in the turbulent tide of science and technology. The original intention of not slowing down and enjoying life will gradually fade away. If ordinary people can't stop the arrival of the new communication era, they can at least hope that it can be more perfect and come more slowly. Those who are anxious to make money can more consider the balance between technological development and art of life.
