Going to MWC2017 is to hang 5G to sell 4G?

Electronic enthusiasts eight o'clock: This year's World Mobile Communications Conference (MWC, 2/27~3/2) may have a bit of "schizophrenia" - various suppliers will show at the booth will be available in a few years How cool is the 5G communication technology to attract visitors, but what really sells is the 4G products that can be used now.

Two competing vendors, Intel and Qualcomm, are good examples. They are all planning to showcase the 5G technology results in the lab stage. At the same time, they should make LTE products debut and actively expand the 4G market. Qualcomm will Launched the first product of a joint venture with Japanese manufacturer TDK, Intel is to publish a Gb-grade cellular network infrastructure LTE modem and chip.

Will Strauss, principal analyst at market research firm Forward Concepts, said that this year's MWC will: "It's all about 5G technology or what people think is 5G."

The user context presented at the conference is expected to focus on the first wave of 5G products - including mobile broadband, especially millimeter-wave frequencies and low-latency, high-reliability services; as Rob Topol, head of Intel's 5G business group, said, For example, 5G is expected to make virtual reality (VR) headsets truly free from shackles and to create multimedia-enabled drones.

Intel will showcase the third-generation 5G client device development platform based on the StraTIx 10 FPGA with a 10 Gbp data transfer rate and 900 MHz channel; the platform supports 600MHz to 39GHz frequency, and the wide range can support the planning of countries around the world. Different 5G communication bands.

At the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2017) at the beginning of the year, Intel revealed that it will launch samples of 5G smart phone modem chips by the end of this year, which is equivalent to the time schedule that 3GPP expects to introduce the draft 5G new radio air interface standard; The standard-set engineers said that the first phase of the 5G standard is not expected to be formally approved until May 2018.

In addition, Intel will adopt an earlier version of the development platform to establish a 5G-like link between a car and Ericsson's base station, using an 800MHz channel to achieve a speed of 5~7 Gbps; Topol revealed: "We will Demonstrate interoperability between chip vendors and infrastructure vendors in the air—an important step in establishing 5G as an air interface.” Qualcomm demonstrated a similar 5G link prototype at Shanghai MWC last June.

Intel's Topol said that the company's show at MWC 2017 aims to give visitors a look at the purely theoretical 5G usage scenarios of the past: "How to be a true consumer experience."

He also said that don't expect to see too much about 5G's application in the Internet of Things at MWC, because the IoT function of the 5G standard is expected to be mentioned in the Release 16 version, which is more than the first wave of Release 15 (laying the honeycomb) Communication is based on a larger data transfer rate and a lower latency basis.

Therefore, in terms of the Internet of Things, MWC is expected to focus on the LTE-derived versions of Cat-M and Narrowband IoT, which have been field trial and trial operation by telecom operators; Topol said: "We need more Cat-M Deployment, to observe the use of the 5G Internet of Things, and how the relevant standard specifications need to be adjusted."

The next-generation Intel QuickAssist Adapter family enables IoT and network edge devices to handle larger amounts of data, speeding up to 100 Gbps in processing operations such as encryption, compression, and public key

As for Qualcomm, the company also plans to use 5G as the focus of this year's MWC booth...
