Xiaomi executives explain 5G: more than just faster mobile internet access

      Xiaomi Product Director Wang Teng popularized 5G technology on Weibo, and brought the 5G hotspot to us again with the help of China Unicom's announcement of the 5G mobile phone pioneer plan today. Regardless of whether 5G mobile phones are sold for five figures now, what can 5G do? Why has the arrival of 5G caused such a big stir? These have always been puzzled in our hearts.

　　Wang Teng said that the popularization of 5G is a huge challenge for terminals, operators, etc., because the frequency band of 5G is higher, more base stations need to be built, and the application scope of 5G is not limited to calls and networks.

　　It is understandable that operators are slow to deploy 5G, but why do people have such high hopes for 5G, and some even say that the arrival of 5G will accelerate the development of the Internet of Things? The reason lies in a new feature in 5G communication technology - end-to-end transmission. We know that 5G refers to the fifth generation of communication technology. This communication technology is different from the previous 1, 2, 3, and 4 generations. 5G communication provides a way for devices to exchange data directly with each other (assuming that the two devices are close to each other) without going through a base station.

　　The help of 5G technology to the development of the Internet of Things is obvious. Your smart home no longer needs a specific network management device, and home devices can directly transmit signals. Therefore, most of the applications of 5G technology have nothing to do with operators. The ones who make money are 5G technology research and development companies, and the chips and technical solutions they make are the potential for the future development of the Internet of Things. For this reason, 5G technology, which can influence the future development of the industry, has become a key national strategy.
