What is 5G, what value can it bring to society, how can it be utilized, and what industries is it suitable for?

As far as we can see, 5G is not the same as a commercial network for operators. Usually when we talk about 5G, we mention that 5G supports three basic types of communication: enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine type communication (mMTC) and highly reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). It's the various benefits of these 3 types of communication that make people imagine 5G in industry.

5G network in factories: equipment data communication, large-scale data transmission, etc.

With the development of industrial Internet, more and more shop floor equipment, such as machine tools, robots, AGVs, etc., start to access the factory intranet, especially the communication of mobile equipment such as AGVs, which is difficult to be met by wired networks, and requires more and more flexibility and bandwidth for factory intranets. Traditional factory wired network has high reliability and bandwidth, but less flexibility, while wireless network has high flexibility, but lacks of reliability, coverage, and number of accesses. 5G, which is characterized by flexibility, high bandwidth and multi-terminal access, has become the new choice for carrying equipment access and communication in factories.

The current application of pilot 5G equipment data communication is mainly based on the characteristics of 5G large bandwidth and access to a large number of devices, brought about by the decline in latency and better reliability, to replace the current WiFi class of wireless communication solutions. WiFi is currently used for equipment communication, the main problem is that the frequency band is close to the 4G network, easy to be interfered with, insufficient coverage capacity, insufficient access capacity. 5G network compared to WiFi advantages, mainly because of the coverage and access capacity. The advantages of 5G network compared to WiFi are faster transmission rate, lower latency, support for simultaneous access to more devices, and stronger anti-jamming of communication. 5G transmission speed compared to WiFi is quite obvious.

In the 5G era, connectivity will exceed the 7 billion population limit and expand to the entire physical world, increasing the number of connections by at least 2-3 orders of magnitude. The focus of connectivity-enabled business will also expand from consumption to industry, covering a wide range of scenarios such as industrial, automotive, smart city, smart energy, etc.

In the face of this, we will be able to provide the best service to our customers.

In the face of the needs of industrial development, Tupou Software believes that the combination of industry and the Internet cannot be separated from the support of data visualization. The essence of the industrial Internet is to achieve interoperability between machines, relying on the extraction of data generated to better control the work of the machine. It can make the work twice as effective with half the effort, Tupou Software? In the field of data visualization has always been pondering, the constant pursuit of the enterprise or organization to explore the potential data value of the faith, for emergency decision-making to provide accurate data support.

Using data collected by IoT and sensors, industrial equipment and network cables are monitored in real time and analyzed to generate data. The 3D visualization system is used to provide a picture closer to the reality of the equipment, which is easy for users to accept and improves the recognition of the equipment. It allows the user to see the whole system and at the same time observe some of the details. It takes into account both the whole and the part, and provides a rich interactive experience. Moreover, under the mature 5G technology support, the HT For Web lightweight visualization of IoTopo software can better enable remote visualization and monitoring on browsers or mobile terminals due to its bandwidth several times larger than that of 4G and its transmission rate 100 times faster than that of 4G; with the IoTopo Web configuration software, operators and system engineers can monitor the entire system through cell phones, tablet PCs and ordinary PCs anywhere there is a network. The IoTopo Web configuration software allows operators and system engineers to realize real-time monitoring of the entire system from anywhere with a network via mobile phones, tablet PCs, and ordinary PCs, which is convenient and greatly improves the flexibility of the work, and provides a more flexible and convenient new platform for monitoring, maintenance, and emergency repairs of the entire system.

5G wide-area network: realize equipment remote control and large-scale data transmission, in the vast outdoor operation of a number of operational vehicles, aircraft, etc., due to the working conditions of the hazardous, the operation range of the remote, etc., there is a certain demand for remote control, but also initially realized a number of remote control functions. However, these remote controls either use short-range communication methods with restricted scenes, or use wide-area wireless networks with limited data transmission capabilities. Wide scene, such as large mines, can only use wide-area network, but 4G real-time driving picture transmission delay is obvious , resulting in vehicle operating speed can not be improved, can not realize the effective application of remote control.

In addition to remote control, vehicles, drones, etc. run, operation, there is also the need to run information back to the demand.

With the development of communication networks, the information returned by vehicles has been continuously upgraded from basic GPS information in the 2G era to all kinds of operating parameters in the 3G era, as well as video in the 4G era. 5G's large bandwidth network can return high-definition video in real time with lower latency, which, combined with real-time cloud analysis of the data and the return of the results, can lead to a series of real-time analytics and control applications.

As a technology born for carrier networks, 5G networks are naturally meant to build a huge public network, but this network is significantly different from the intranet needs of everyday industrial enterprises. Different businesses within factories require different networks, and more importantly, factory networks are generally local area networks (LANs), which are often physically isolated from the public network for security purposes.

Summary: 5G adapted to industry scenarios

In the short term, 5G is more suitable for prioritizing the application of about four scenarios:

1. General factory floors, 5G is used for mobile devices such as AGV.

2. General factory floor, 5G is used for large-scale data transmission and background real-time analysis.

3. Ports, mines and other closed industrial sites with large areas, 5G is used for remote control of equipment.

4. Open scenarios such as gas pipelines, power transmission lines, rivers, etc., where remote inspection and monitoring are realized through 5G

With the support of 5G IoT, all the infrastructures, production equipment, and all kinds of electronic products in the industry will be connected, and more space for innovation will follow, and the traditional industries will usher in a very huge market opportunity. The scale of these industries is huge, and each of them is no less than the consumer industry. Industry, city management are million billion industry scale, logistics industry has 20 trillion scale, the volume of energy is also in the trillion or more.

Looking at the process of communication development, 5G represents a qua revolution, but also an important underlying infrastructure to support industrial innovation in the next five years. There are three innovation directions in the industrial field: enterprise digitization and networking; data asset management, driving capacity upgrading; and industrial ecological innovation, vertically transforming the efficiency of different links in the vertical industry chain and realizing upstream and downstream information interconnection and efficient collaboration.
