Chinese users can try 5G commercial mobile phones to be launched next year

Recently, an internal symposium held by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology revealed that the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will aim at key breakthroughs in 5G key devices this year, and will launch 5G commercial mobile phones
next year.

At this stage, 5G has become the focus
of attention in the global field.
At present, there are still many challenges
in China's 5G development.
For example, the application scenarios of high-frequency base stations are still being explored, and clear application requirements have not yet been formed; Although the terminal and its baseband chip gradually narrow the gap with the international advanced level, most of the front-end RF devices still need to be imported; The domestic 5G high-frequency device technology industry is developing slowly, and it is difficult for high-frequency devices to break through
.

Based on this, at the recent internal symposium held by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Luo Wen, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, mentioned that this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will focus on key areas such as 5G high-frequency devices, promote breakthroughs in the industrial layout of 5G key devices, and strive to form its own technical route
.

Diao Shijing, director of the Department of Electronic Information of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, also revealed that 5G will be the focus of the development of the electronic information industry this year, and 5G commercial mobile phones
will be launched next year.

It is reported that in order to make up for the industrial shortcomings of 5G chips and high-frequency devices, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will accelerate the research and development of 5G medium and high-frequency devices and accelerate the industrial layout
.
At the same time, we will strengthen pilot demonstrations to accelerate the promotion and application of 5G and lay the foundation
for the successful commercial use of 5G.

According to China's 5G planning and deployment, China's 5G trial has entered the third stage, and it is expected to carry out large-scale experimental networking and network construction in 2018-2019, and start 5G mid-band deployment and system commercial use in 2019, and operators will begin to deploy medium and low frequency bands
in 2019-2020.

Recently, ZTE opened the first 5G telephone based on the latest 3GPP R15 standard in China, which means that the end-to-end 5G commercial system scale field site is officially opened, which further accelerates the 5G commercial process
