During the 2024 World Mobile Communications Conference, China Mobile announced that it would launch the world's largest 5G-A commercial deployment in more than 300 domestic cities in 2024, and jointly released the top ten 5G-A innovations with global industry partners. Unleash the potential of 5G and create new 5G value.
It is reported that the 5G-A commercial plan mainly includes network, tariffs, terminals, products and other aspects. In terms of network, China Mobile will achieve large-scale commercial use of RedCap and three-carrier aggregation within the year, and comprehensively promote the trial commercial deployment of five major technologies including synaesthesia integration, passive Internet of Things, network intelligence, XR enhancement, and industrial Internet. In terms of tariffs, China Mobile will explore multi-dimensional billing models based on the network characteristics and coverage of 5G-A to meet the information service needs of specific businesses and customer groups. In terms of terminals, China Mobile will combine the 5G-A network standard and cooperate with domestic and foreign terminal and chip manufacturers to accelerate the adaptation of mobile phones, PCs, XR, watches and other pan-terminals to the 5G-A network, and continue to enrich the 5G-A standard terminal categories and supply. In terms of products, China Mobile will combine the network advantages of 5G-A to continue to enrich the functions and experiences of large-scale commercial products such as 5G new calls, cloud mobile phones, and cloud computers, and continue to create innovative products such as VR, naked-eye 3D, and the Metaverse.
The 5G-A innovation achievements released this time mainly include new smart and lightweight terminals, new integration of synaesthesia, new connections between heaven and earth, new immersive real-time experiences, new low-altitude coverage business formats, new intelligent endogenous capabilities, and new passive IoT. Ten major aspects include ecology, new benchmark for ultimate performance, new endogenously determined services, and new architecture for synaesthesia computing.
The first is the intelligent and lightweight new terminal to build a world where everything is connected. RedCap (5G lightweight) can significantly reduce the cost of 5G terminals and facilitate larger-scale applications of 5G. China Mobile has built a RedCap commercial network with leading technology and scale, and has launched it, covering more than 100,000 stations in 52 cities across the country. By 2024 We will continue to expand the scale of deployment and achieve continuous coverage at county-level cities and above across the country.
The second is the new integration of synaesthesia to expand multi-dimensional network capabilities. China Mobile Innovation proposed a hybrid waveform air interface and ultra-wide-angle platform, and jointly developed the first low-frequency prototype with industry, which increased the coverage capacity by 2-3 times. It has been verified in more than 10 cities including Shenzhen and Hangzhou to protect economic development.
The third is a new connection between heaven and earth, accelerating the integrated development of stars and earth. China Mobile takes 5G non-terrestrial network technology as the core and integrates the dual advantages of traditional satellite communications and terrestrial mobile communications to complete the verification of direct connection of 5G mobile phones to satellites and realize the two-space-ground low-orbit test equipped with China Mobile's satellite base stations and core network equipment. Satellites are launched into orbit.
The fourth is to immerse yourself in new real-time experiences and create a feast of digital and real integration. With cross-layer information sharing, multi-dimensional enhancement of connections, and quantitative assessment of perception as its core, China Mobile has built the industry's first full-process, pan-service immersive real-time network industry integration innovative technology system to help upgrade the audio-visual experience and create new calls, Asian Games VR viewing, Immersive new applications such as the Worker Universe and naked-eye 3D.
Fifth, low-altitude coverage of new business formats leads the transformation of networking methods. China Mobile adheres to the core concept of "air-ground coordination, orderly controllability, cost reduction and efficiency improvement", proposes a new low-altitude networking solution, leads the transformation of low-altitude networking methods, converts airspace natural resources into economic resources, and gives birth to new low-altitude economic business formats. Completed deployment in Shenzhen, Wuxi and other places.
Sixth, intelligent endogenous new capabilities are achieved to achieve precise business guarantee. In order to improve user experience, China Mobile has implemented new intelligent endogenous capabilities in base stations to achieve millisecond-level fine identification of service types and accurate guarantee of service experience, and has launched commercial pilots in Henan, Hubei, Zhejiang and other provinces.
Seventh, the new ecosystem of passive IoT will accelerate the incubation of hundreds of billions of smart connections. China Mobile introduced passive IoT for the first time in the cellular network, realizing one network for multiple uses, and IoT information throughout the entire network, empowering industries such as digital warehousing and logistics. It built a prototype at the Qingdao Haier washing machine factory to verify the inventory function, and held the event at the Hangzhou Asian Games. Create a model for the logistics industry.
Eight is a new benchmark for ultimate performance, deeply exploring the value of spectrum. China Mobile uses UDD and three-carrier aggregation technology as its core to enable the ultimate experience of ultra-high speed and ultra-low latency, realize small-scale deployment of three-carrier aggregation, and complete the pilot application of UDD technology in Zhejiang Full Connection Factory.
The ninth is to identify new services endogenously to support core industrial production. With network intelligent sensing services and deterministic resource efficient scheduling technology as the core, China Mobile develops high-determinism industrial base stations to achieve deterministic guarantee capabilities with end-to-end delay less than 10ms, jitter less than 1ms, and reliability greater than 99.99%, to help 5G Go deep into the core production control links of industry.
The tenth is the new architecture of synaesthesia computing to promote the development of industrial integration. China Mobile breaks through the traditional cellular network architecture design and builds a synaesthesia computing and intelligence integration infrastructure based on a large number of base stations. Through resource sharing and flexible deployment, it achieves flexible and efficient dynamic scheduling of network resources and maximizes the utilization of wireless resources. It has been used in industry Pilot applications have been completed in, entertainment, sports, and other scenarios.
As an important infrastructure supporting the development of the digital economy, 5G is becoming a key driving force for the digital upgrading of personal lives, the transition to intelligent industries, and the development of an intelligent society. As an advocate of 5G technology development, China Mobile has built the world's largest 5G SA (5G independent networking) network. At the same time, in order to further expand the scale value of 5G, release the unlimited potential of 5G, and accelerate the digital transformation of the industry, China Mobile will anchor its new positioning as a world-class information service technology innovation company, grasp the trend of technology integration and innovation, and continue to be committed to using The most advanced information and communication technologies serve society and people's livelihood, empower thousands of industries, continue to promote 5G evolution and upgrade cutting-edge technological innovation, and help high-quality development of the communications industry.
