The upcoming 5G network can provide up to 20Gbps of upstream bandwidth, 10Gbps of downstream bandwidth, as low as 5ms of latency, and provides 1 million connections per square meter. We believe that these capabilities will not only change people's mobile communications life, but also their daily lives, and they will accelerate the pace of digital transformation in various industries. The development of the network can not be separated from the birth and promotion of applications. We look forward to the arrival of the 5G era and look forward to seeing future applications that are about to change the human world.

The application scenario in the 5G era is this: All things connected, the connection between people will be transformed into the connection between people and things, things and things, the data will be fully clouded, and the remote work will break through the space restrictions. VR and AR mobile devices have become the mainstream, and driverless cars (or auto-assisted driving systems) have ensured greater safety in driving. Content acquisition methods have been subverted. It is no longer a traditional graphic, but video, live broadcast, etc. Rich media form. Industry welcomes change and moves toward smart manufacturing.

VR mobilization

In fact, not only is Huawei's booth, VR has become the darling of major exhibitions in the past two years. However, so far, there is no real wireless VR. Even though HTC has released a package without wires, it has not yet been mobilized. The relevant staff of Huawei XLabs described a VR mobile scenario for us:
The VR device only has one head-mounted display, and all games have been uploaded to the cloud, using high-speed networks to retrieve it from the cloud when it is ready to play. The host becomes a thing of the past, and VR is really moving. The challenge of this scenario is to achieve high-speed running games and low latency synchronous data. Moreover, VR's wide-angle rendering will consume huge amounts of traffic.

HD video broadcast

The industry generally believes that the arrival of 5G will have a profound impact on the entertainment industry. In a high-bandwidth mobile network, not only watching videos and playing games can be transformed into online mode, but the speed of downloading a movie can be shortened to a few seconds. Huawei believes that in the 5G environment, high-definition video broadcast will become a new growth point for operators. Huawei’s rotating CEO Xu Zhijun stated that “the video era may again bring trillions of dollars in market space for telecom operators.” In 2016, 46 million TVs in the world's new shipments support 4K, and 82% of users are willing to pay 10% to 30% more for 4K. For ordinary users, the 5G era will be well resolved in the high-definition video experience, such as the quality of the film source, the initial waiting time, and whether it is stuck during the broadcast process.

Internet of Things

The most extensive scenario for 5G is the interconnection of all things, and many possibilities are born. Humans and robots communicate more naturally and without delays. High bandwidth and high speed make it possible for robots to process a large number of voice instructions faster and feed them back to the hardware quickly. Intelligent applications in public places will also be deeply connected to everyday life. Large-scale intelligent transformation of parking lots, gymnasiums, and shopping venues, as well as family smart hardware and mobile travel. For example, the new NB-IoT solution jointly developed by Huawei, OFO, and China Telecom can enhance its network coverage capabilities, featuring low power consumption, strong signal, wide coverage, and large capacity, which will be more optimized and popularized in the 5G era. .
