Since the 1980s, there has been a revolution in mobile communication technology every ten years, and we are about to experience a period of change in the fifth generation of mobile communication technology.
According to the "Information and Communications Industry Development Plan (2016-2020)" announced by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the fifth generation mobile communications (5G) will launch commercial services by 2020 and basically build a high-speed, mobile, safe and ubiquitous network. A new generation of information infrastructure.
Faced with the challenges and opportunities brought by the new generation of Internet infrastructure, the "2017 New Generation Internet Infrastructure Forum" jointly sponsored by People's Posts and Telecommunications News and China Telecom Beijing Research Institute will be held on September 14 - It was held on September 15th at China Telecom Beijing Information Technology Innovation Park.
5G will bring faster bandwidth, more device access, and lower transmission delays.
Compared with 4G, 5G user experience rate can reach 100Mbps to 1Gbps, and the peak bandwidth can reach 10Gbps; the connection density can reach 1 million/square kilometers, effectively supporting the access of massive IoT devices; The traffic density can reach 10Mbps/square meter, supporting mobile business traffic growth of more than a thousand times in the future; the transmission delay can reach the order of milliseconds.
Such network performance will promote technological innovation in multiple application scenarios such as 4K/8K video streaming, AR/VR, Internet of Things, high-performance edge analysis, smart cities, etc., while also bringing new innovations to network infrastructure. change.
Change 1: Deep integration of ICT. The deep integration of IT technology and 5G will make network functions more flexible and efficient.
Through network virtualization (NFV) and software-defined network (SDN) technology, network elements can be decomposed, abstracted and reconstructed in a deeper level.
Operators can develop more personalized business functions based on user services and user habits, configure network resources and functions according to needs, and tailor and orchestrate corresponding network function components through "slicing network" to meet the needs Various applications, including the Internet of Things, make full use of 5G resources to implement data-driven network functions and optimize resource allocation and operation management.
Network equipment is more open. Universal servers, storage, and switches are used to replace proprietary equipment. Network element equipment is controlled (defined) through software to achieve shared network resources across industries and differentiated services, improving network utilization. Our colleagues can provide open API interfaces to open basic network capabilities to third parties.
Change Three: Application-driven, intelligent decision-making.
With the rise of Internet of Things applications, it is predicted that the number of 5G connections in China will reach 428 million in 2025, accounting for 39% of the total 1.1 billion 5G connections in the world.
A large Internet pattern represented by the connection of everyone, the connection of people, and the connection of things will be formed.
The network will realize application-driven intelligent network resource allocation and utilization through the perception and analysis of geographical location, user behavior preferences, access device status, and network information context.
To this end, this forum, with the theme of "New Connection, New Intelligence, New Ecology", will meet with leaders from various industry parties such as government departments, telecom operators, Internet companies, equipment and solution manufacturers, etc. , experts will gather together to discuss how to strengthen exchanges and cooperation between telecom operators and the Internet and ICT industries in the field of new generation Internet infrastructure, the development and construction of next generation Internet infrastructure, and jointly promote the transformation of key information and communication technologies and industries. Wait for hot topics.
The content of this year’s forum has many more highlights than previous ones. In addition to keynote speeches brought by leaders and experts from all aspects of the industry, there are also
1. China Telecom Beijing Research Institute, Baidu Apollo Ecosystem, and Datang will jointly release a product based on the Internet of Vehicles Autonomous Driving Action Plan;
2. China Telecom Beijing Research Institute, State Grid Electric Power Research Institute, and Huawei will launch a 5G power slicing foundation forward-looking joint innovation project;
3. The Optical Communication Research Center of China Telecom Beijing Research Institute will release "Optical Transport Network Technology in the 5G Era" white paper".
The new generation of Internet infrastructure has become a key infrastructure alongside the energy network, road network, and railway network, accelerating my country's digital transformation and realizing the road to becoming a network power. We look forward to seeing you along the way.
