5G真的来了，中国企业准备好了吗？Is China ready for 5G?

5G真的来了！
这是在2019年拉斯维加斯消费电子展（CES）上，大家讨论最多的共识之一。
2019年正值5G网络建设的关键节点，也将见证5G从设想变为现实。今年CES上，不仅上游的芯片企业做好了准备，下游应用领域也是亮点频现。许多中国企业推出了令人耳目一新的5G新应用、新设备，拥抱5G时代的到来。
中国联想集团与美国韦里孙通信公司合作的首款5G智能手机moto z3，通过模块升级可以1秒钟实现5G。据联想集团董事长兼首席执行官杨元庆介绍，能够作为5G接入热点的模块——联想5G通，将于今年初推向市场。未来，这个可随身携带的5G口袋热点能让身边所有兼容5G的设备随时接入5G网络。
杨元庆表示，5G不仅是技术发展的一个大方向，也是未来推动经济发展的一个重要抓手。联想在这个领域已耕耘多年，不仅在开发终端方面取得积极进展，在基础架构建设上也做了充分准备，在网络功能虚拟化（NFV）方面有望取得突破。
“5G建设花费巨大，需要建设的基站数量远远多于4G时代，如果能采用更加通用、开放的软硬件基础架构，会使成本大大下降。”他说。
中国信息通信研究院发布的《5G经济社会影响白皮书》指出，2019年或将成为我国5G商用元年，运营商将大规模开展网络建设。
中国是5G标准的制定者之一，拥有了全球前四大电信设备商中的两个——华为与中兴。两家公司与世界主要运营商展开研发与合作，通过在实践中积累专利，在5G方面获得了更多话语权。
参加CES的中国家用电器企业也纷纷表示，希望搭乘5G的东风，不仅利用5G技术优化生产，而且致力于制造出更多适合5G高带宽传输、更清晰显示的音画产品。
中国四川长虹电器股份有限公司副总工程师阳丹在接受新华社记者采访时表示，长虹与中国移动5G创新应用中心合作创建了5G智慧制造工厂，不仅可以通过车间内的精准定位和导航实现无人小车的物料配送，还能运用高清视频回传进行产品检验。
他表示，5G高带宽为高清呈现提供了技术支持，长虹将在数据连接、人机交互和产品音画等方面下功夫。
5G技术为快递、外卖等服务行业也提供了新的机遇。本次展会上，首次亮相的美团无人配送机器人“福袋”吸引了不少参展商的目光：身高一米，能上下楼梯，这个长相酷似“大白”的家伙拥有激光雷达、超声波传感器、人脸识别摄像头、温度传感器等黑科技，用户可以一键取餐。来自法国、美国、意大利的企业与美团达成战略合作协议，打造末端无人配送生态网络，推动新技术落地。
美团副总裁王莆中表示，由于5G可以提供稳定传输的带宽和高速计算的芯片，物联网配送的数据压缩比有很大的改善，可以对运送车进行实时监控。美团无人配送车在构思设计上已为5G技术预留空间。在手机应用方面，5G环境能让用户获得高质量传输数据，点餐时可得到沉浸式体验。
不少参展商和专家看好中国在5G时代的优势。英特尔公司5G战略项目办公室总经理亚历山大·夸奇认为，5G时代，中国将是最受瞩目和最受期待的国家。中国所处的独特地位，使其能够在未来两到三年实现5G网络的大规模部署。
5G is really here!
This was one of the most discussed consensuses at the consumer electronics show (CES) in Las Vegas in 2019.
2019 is the key year for 5G network construction and will witness the transformation of 5G from an idea to a reality. At CES this year, not only were the upstream chip companies ready, but there were a lot of highlights in downstream applications. Many Chinese companies have rolled out refreshing new 5G applications and devices, embracing the arrival of the 5G era.
The moto z3, the first 5G smartphone that China's lenovo group teamed up with verizon communications of the United States, can achieve 5G in one second through module upgrades. According to Yang yuanqing, chairman and chief executive officer of lenovo group, 5G connect, a module capable of serving as a hot spot for 5G access, will hit the market at the beginning of this year. In the future, this portable 5G pocket hotspot will enable all 5g-compatible devices around to access 5G networks at any time.
According to Yang, 5G is not only a general direction of technological development, but also an important starting point for promoting economic development in the future. Lenovo has been working in this field for many years. It has not only made positive progress in terminal development, but also made full preparations in infrastructure construction. It is expected to make breakthroughs in network function virtualization (NFV).
"The cost of 5G is huge, and the number of base stations to be built is much higher than in the 4G era. If a more general and open software and hardware infrastructure can be adopted, the cost will be greatly reduced." He said.
The white paper on the economic and social impact of 5G released by the China academy of information and communication technology (ciict) points out that in 2019, 5G will become the first year for commercial use in China, and operators will carry out large-scale network construction.
China is one of the makers of 5G standards, with two of the world's top four telecom equipment makers, huawei and zte. Through r&d and cooperation with major operators around the world, the two companies have gained more say in 5G by accumulating patents in practice.
Chinese home appliance companies attending CES also expressed their desire to ride the wave of 5G, not only to optimize production with 5G technology, but also to make more audio and video products suitable for 5G high-bandwidth transmission and clearer display.
China sichuan changhong electric appliance co., LTD., deputy chief engineer yoni said in an interview with xinhua news agency reporters, changhong with China mobile application center cooperation to create a 5 g 5 g innovation wisdom manufacturing plant, not only can be accomplished by precise positioning and navigation of the workshop no car material distribution, also can use hd video returned product inspection.
He said 5G high bandwidth provides technical support for high-definition presentation, and changhong will work on data connectivity, human-computer interaction and product audio and video.
5G technology has also provided new opportunities for the express delivery, delivery and other service industries. The beauty of this exhibition, the first regiment unmanned distribution robot "blessing bag" attracted the attention of many exhibitors: one meter tall and can up and down the stairs, the resembling "the great" guy with laser radar, ultrasonic sensors, face recognition camera, temperature sensors, such as black science and technology, a key to the user can take food. Companies from France, the United States and Italy reached a strategic cooperation agreement with Meituan to build an ecological network of terminal unmanned distribution and promote the implementation of new technologies.
Wang puzhong, vice-president of Meituan, said that since 5G can provide stable transmission bandwidth and high-speed computing chips, the data compression ratio of iot delivery has been greatly improved, allowing real-time monitoring of delivery vehicles. Meituan unmanned distribution vehicle has reserved space for 5G technology in the conceptual design. In terms of mobile applications, 5G environment enables users to get high-quality data transmission and immersive experience when ordering food.
Many exhibitors and experts are optimistic about China's advantages in the 5G era. Alexander quach, general manager of Intel corporation's 5G strategic project office, believes that China will be the most watched and expected country in the 5G era. China is uniquely positioned to achieve large-scale deployment of 5G networks in the next two to three years.
