China begins 5G trial runs to get headstart in global telecom race
中国开始测试运行5G网络,领跑全球电信竞赛
BEIJING: China, the largest telecom market in the world in terms of subscribers, has started conducting trials for 5G telecommunications equipment in about 100 cities, as it aims to get a head start in the race to lead the next generation of cellular phone systems.
从用户数来衡量,世界最大的电信市场中国,开始在100个城市进行5G电信设备的测试运行,力争领跑下一代移动手机网络。
High-speed 5G networks can theoretically transmit data 20 times faster than current 4G speed, with less than one tenth of the latency, or the time for a data request to receive a reply.
理论上,高速的5G网络传输数据的速度是目前4G网络的20倍,而数据请求的等待时间不到十分之一。
The 5G technologies being tested include massive multiple-antenna systems capable of handling more users and increased capacity to support greater mobile data usage, Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post quoted Bernstein Research report as saying.
据香港南华早报引述伯恩斯坦研究公司的报告,称正在测试的5G技术,包括能处理更多用户请求和能支撑更多移动数据的多天线系统。
