Since the first World 5G Congress was held in Beijing in 2019, the World 5G Congress has been held four times in a row. The development and application of 5G has been deepening. How on earth has 5G changed our lives? Where is the practical application scenario of 5G? Who gives full play to the value of 5G?

With these questions, we walked into the pavilion of the World 5G Congress. From upstream base stations and network deployment manufacturers such as China Telecom and China Mobile, to VR / AR equipment manufacturers such as HTC and Skyworth, as well as industrial application enterprises such as State Grid, Daqing Oilfield and Beidahuang, many manufacturers gathered together to show their latest 5G technology demonstrations and application cases.

There are chocolate souvenirs made by 3D printers, various "real estate" models, large space VR playgrounds. Visitors can even be "pilots" for a few minutes and experience the fun of "going to heaven". The atmosphere at the conference is warm and the crowd is crowded.

Zhidong spent a day at the World 5G Exhibition and had in-depth exchanges with at least dozens of exhibitors. My deepest feeling about the World 5G Conference is that after 5G started commercial use in 2019, after several years of exploration, manufacturers found that the government and enterprise market is the main area of 5G deep cultivation, and also gradually expand the applications of different industries, according to their own technological advantages, with the change of market demand to create appropriate solutions. However, Wisdom also found that behind the landing of the 5G industry, there is also a strong combination between operators and equipment manufacturers, as well as some problems that may exist in the landing of the 5G industry.

First, six major network and infrastructure operators gathered to seize the B-end market. China Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom, China Star Network, China Iron Tower, China Radio and Television six major network and infrastructure operators gathered at the scene to show their latest achievements of 5G landing.

It can be said that if you use 5G anywhere in China, you can hardly escape their palms.

In the venue, we can see that there are some similarities and differences in the display of the major operators. For example, the three major operators have created their own platforms and products for smart villages, smart government, cloud services and so on. The difference is that they also show what else they see as 5G as operators.

1. China Telecom: skiing, flying planes, making desserts. All this has to do with 5G? In the experience exhibition area of China Telecom, there is always a long queue of people around a small dark room. I looked up and saw that everyone was "flying the plane" here.

"fly a plane" at the scene of ▲ World 5G Congress

China Telecom simulates the internal structure and operating system of Boeing 737 aircraft, and visitors can choose the day or night view of 3600 airports around the world.

When you are in the pilot's seat, the real pilot next to you will tell you what to do when the plane starts and how to deal with different application scenarios.

It is understood that due to the characteristics of low delay, high reliability and large bandwidth of 5G, after the application of 5G, the aircraft cockpit, tower, airlines and airport operation control departments can share information accurately, timely and quickly through the aviation 5G network.

This scene is also recreating the new impact of 5G in the aerospace field. In January 2022, with the promulgation of the implementation Plan for the Construction and Application of Aviation 5G Airport scene Broadband Mobile Communication system, the comprehensive application of China Aviation 5G was officially launched.

Not only that, China Telecom also showed how to make chocolate models through 3D printing and how to log into the "ski resort" in one second through VR equipment.

2. China Unicom: how is the free perspective in the Winter Olympic Games realized? When I walked into the exhibition area of China Unicom, the first thing I entered was a dozen cameras on the track, where the 360 °free-angle technology provided by China Unicom for the Winter Olympic Games was reproduced. The spectators outside the venue are no longer restricted by the seats and have a different view of the game.

When asked how the technology can be used in many large-scale events, the person in charge mentioned that the technology has been greatly improved in algorithm, and combined with cloud broadcasting service, it can provide better viewing results for spectators.

China Unicom has also "promoted" housing in the exhibition area-their smart residential construction solutions.

"We worked with relevant manufacturers at the beginning of the building to provide real-time monitoring services for multiple infrastructure in the community." One of the exhibitors at the scene said.

He also showed us that after scanning the model of the relevant building through AR, the information about the pipeline can be popped up directly, and he can also remind us that a certain drainage pipe is damaged and a certain section of gas pipeline needs to be repaired.

At the scene, you can also see Unicom's intelligent inspection robot, which can replace workers to enter a high-risk environment to complete patrol work, while Unicom's 5G network can help managers monitor data in real time and control robots remotely.

3. China Mobile: swipe card, decode, confirm identity. Like most manufacturers, China Mobile mainly shows products and solutions such as smart communities and smart factories. According to staff, China Mobile has launched nearly 2000 projects in nearly 30 provinces, including Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong and Anhui.

In addition, China Mobile also demonstrates the multiple uses of its Super SIM. In the 5G era, China Mobile hopes to upgrade its SIM card to a "super SIM card", so that a mobile phone card can achieve online security authentication.

China Mobile believes that the super SIM card is the IT smart card with the highest popularity, the lowest cost, convenient loading of all kinds of applications and financial security.

To put it simply, super SIM cards can not only help enterprises provide system protection functions, but also help users quickly send and receive corporate business cards, but also replace campus cards, transportation cards, access cards, car keys and other physical card hardware to achieve multi-card integration.

At the meeting, I saw the application of China Mobile combining SIM card with face recognition system. In addition to face recognition and ID card recognition, users can now confirm their identity through their own super SIM cards.

Compared with our common three telecom giants, the other three mainly provide operational services for a segment of the domestic sector. For example, China Star Network is mainly responsible for the design, construction and operation of satellite Internet; China Tower is mainly responsible for the construction, maintenance and operation of communication towers and other base station facilities and high-speed subway public network coverage; China Radio and Television is responsible for nationwide cable television network related business. And they bring 5G app sharing, but also more focused on their own subdivision track.

Second, colliding with the next-generation Internet, meta-universe is everywhere after visiting all the exhibition areas, you can obviously find that almost every manufacturer has a special section to talk about its "meta-universe" products and services. For example, China Mobile Cloud VR business, Huawei's AR scenic spot introduction, ZTE's point cloud rendering technology and so on.

It can be seen that in the face of the arrival of the next generation Internet, the major manufacturers are actively preparing for war.

Among them, VR manufacturer HTC has brought its own latest technological achievements to show.

When you are walking in the real world, the screen shows you walking in space. HTC uses large LCD screens with three sides of tens of square meters, two infrared trackers, a mainframe, a tracker mounted on the camera and their latest VIVE Mars CamTrack solution to shoot promotional videos of the virtual world for users every minute.

Compared with traditional CG animation, VIVE Mars CamTrack uses 5000 dollars to create effects that might have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to achieve.

As I stood in the area surrounded by a large LCD screen, I saw visually that I was standing next to my spaceship on the monitor. According to the staff, through the establishment of an appropriate model, users can also interact with the devices of the virtual scene in real time, thus forming richer content.

Walking through the HTC booth, you can find Skyworth VR, which has just released its first PANCAKE VR head display, showing its new head show here.

Pick up this new head show, you can find that the device is obviously much lighter than the common VR head on the market, and the display device in front of you has changed from a "brick" to a "glasses case". In the aspect of display, the PANCAKE 1 display screen is also very clear, which can present a rich color display effect.

From the exhibition, you can see at a glance whether the "meta-universe" field is the company's main business or a sideline. Some manufacturers put it in an inconspicuous corner, some manufacturers show it as the biggest bright spot, and others hope to intuitively bring visitors into the "meta-universe" and see the future ahead of time.

Third, mobile phone manufacturers are quiet. ZTE Huawei showed up at this World 5G Congress. you can obviously find that most popular mobile phone manufacturers such as Xiaomi, OPPO and vivo have not come to the scene. Among the well-known mobile phone manufacturers, you may see Huawei and ZTE first.

Walking into Huawei's exhibition area, many tourists will be attracted by the "big guy" in the corner, where they can most intuitively feel what changes 5G brings to the industry.

This is an open-pit mine intelligent production scheduling system integrated monitoring center, where you can directly see the location of multiple equipment in the mine, use and equipment messages and other information.

▲ Huawei experience area

Not only that, at the scene, Huawei made the latest display of solutions in many areas, such as smart city, smart grid, smart petrochemical, mining, and so on.

In Huawei's view, 5GtoB applications should be "deep" and can provide high-quality services for enterprises, while in the popularization of 5GtoB, they should be "wide". For example, private and foreign enterprises have large-scale 5G applications, which has a great potential market.

After visiting Huawei's pavilion, I obviously felt that Huawei demonstrated its ability as a communications technology manufacturer at the 5G World Congress, rather than completely representing its identity as a mobile phone manufacturer.

Combined with the absence of mobile phone manufacturers mentioned earlier and the theme of "Building 5G Ecology" at this conference, perhaps today's 5G commercial landing market may focus more on the government-enterprise market than on the consumer market, and the combination of 5G and industry can play the greatest role.

Conclusion: 5G applications will be the first to break through the data from the B end. At present, the revenue scale of 5G industry private network has been raised from 100 million to 10 billion, and the number of terminal links in 5G industry has exceeded 300000. 5G empowers all kinds of industries, and this sentence has changed from a call to a realistic application scene in the depths of the industry.

From the theme of the World 5G Congress, 5G changing the world to building 5G ecology, we can also see that 5G is gradually changing the industry and the world in the depths of the industry. At the World 5G Congress, you may rarely see some particularly novel and gimmick products, and more industry-related solutions appear in front of visitors, which is also the epitome of 5G deep farming industry.

In terms of 5G construction, China has always been in the forefront of the world. How much potential of 5G can be tapped? How much market space is there for 5G to be developed? New possibilities are brewing in the exchange of the World 5G Congress, in every visit and understanding of visitors, and in every experience of children.
