Will 5G be officially commercialized, will it bring a qualitative leap to the smart terminal?
This year's hottest technical vocabulary is not "5G", so 2019 is also known as the 5G first year. In the 5G license issued nearly 5 months or so, October 31 today, China will officially enter the 5G commercial era.

5G officially commercial today

After the launch of 5G, Xiao Bian often received questions from merchants in the background of the service number, how much 5G upgrades and changes to the vending machine, JW vending machines will install 5G modules and so on. Today, Xiao Bian will tell you about the advantages of this fierce fifth-generation mobile communication network.

There are a lot of knowledge about 5G on the Internet, but it is more professional. Therefore, Xiao Bian hopes to summarize the difference between 4G and 1G with easy-to-understand graphics.

First of all, whether it is light waves, radio waves or even indoor wifi signals, the following versatile formula will be used:

The speed of light (wave) is constant and the frequency is higher.
The faster the transmission response speed, the larger the bandwidth;
4G belongs to UHF and UHF,

However, the 5G frequency is higher than this, and the wavelength also reaches the millimeter wave level.

The 4G network has created the era of Internet of Everything, and the 5G's high speed, low latency and large capacity will put the Internet of Things on the wings.

According to statistics, as of the end of December 2017, domestic intelligent vending has accounted for more than 82%, and more than 65% of the equipment is equipped with different types of SaaS (Software as a Service) system. These changes have made vending machines quickly rise in the retail industry, becoming a "new force" that can not be ignored in the Chinese retail industry.

At 5G, vending machines will bring the following changes:
//1, device interaction experience is better //

5G brush face technology is safer and faster

With 5G speeds up to 20 times that of Gigabit 4G networks, plus 5G low-latency features, vending machines equipped with 5G technology can respond faster to data transactions, and data transmission speeds are faster. For example, based on the new technology to collect ultra-high-definition dynamic three-dimensional data of human faces for face-to-face payment analysis, the collected data is larger and the response speed is faster, which can greatly improve the accuracy and security of recognition. And importantly, because a lot of computing work may be placed in the cloud in the future, combined with the development of current Ai technology, the interactive experience of vending machines will be better in the future.

//2, the cloud is more intelligent.//

5G has high bandwidth and low latency, which allows future vending machines to put a lot of transaction processing and data processing work into the cloud.

5G power automatic equipment terminal

Previously, in many 5G science articles, it was mentioned that 5G can completely implement driverless technology. Because the currently implemented driverless technology still needs to have a powerful computing CPU built in the car, but the power consumption also increases, and it is not conducive to the hardware level update and upgrade. Once the full 5G is realized, the driverless upgrades to real-time collection of road condition information, delivers powerful cloud computing and processing, and then returns to perform operations.

Future smart terminals can also implement cloud control

Similar to driverless, vending machines can achieve cloud unified computing after joining 5G, and the front end only needs to be equipped with an execution module, which further reduces the hardware manufacturing cost of the device, and on the other hand, the stability of the device. And data support capabilities are better improved. More importantly, in this process, enterprises can more easily realize the management of large and medium-sized businesses, thus further optimizing the business efficiency of enterprises.
//3, strengthen the ability to derive value-added services //

Empower vending machine terminal

5G will make future vending machines smarter, faster, and cheaper, and will allow them to engage in more value-added services that they could not afford. As a simple example, due to the two users under the same base station of 5G, data forwarding will no longer depend on the base station, but directly from the device to the device. At this time, many of the businesses that I wanted to do but could not do in the 4G era became much simpler. The 5G vending machine can even be a small data-oriented sending terminal that sends certain content to a specific group of people.
//4, broaden the vending machine product innovation industry //

From the historical experience, every improvement in communication technology has brought a huge development opportunity to the industry. Therefore, it can be foreseen that the launch of 5G commercial will also bring a new wave of opportunities to the industry, especially in broadening the product innovation industry. When the design idea of the vending machine is free from the current 4G conditions, there will be a large number of newer and more user-friendly products entering the market, and bring new development momentum to the industry.

Although 5G is good, it still has a long way to go.

As mentioned earlier, the 5G frequency is higher and the performance is stronger. But another significant feature of the electromagnetic wave based on it: the higher the frequency (the shorter the wavelength), the closer it is to linear propagation (the worse the diffraction capability). Moreover, the higher the frequency, the greater the attenuation during propagation. Therefore, this means that 5G needs to build more base stations (mainly micro base stations) than 4G.

Micro base station under 5G

Literally, the size of the base station can be made smaller, which is much smaller than the previous 4G macro base station.

The signal coverage effect of 4G and 5G is described by an abstract metaphor. 4G covers multiple users with macro base stations, so there will be problems of covering dead angles and weak signals. The smaller the 5G micro base stations, the larger the number of coverages. The better, the faster the speed.

As of July this year, 38,000 base stations of 5G base stations have been built nationwide. It is estimated that by the end of 2019, the total number of 5G base stations in China will reach 150,000. However, according to the 5G base station, the most typical coverage is only 300 meters, and the penetration ability is weak, so this number is not enough, which means that there are still many places without 5G micro base station coverage. Therefore, the future is still a state of coexistence of 4G and 5G.

From a literal point of view, the size of the base station can be made smaller, which is much smaller than the previous 4G macro base station.

But we are also very optimistic about 5G coverage, because in the development of China and the speed of China, I believe that we will soon be able to enjoy the technology dividend brought by 5G. Citing what Jobs said in his 2001 interview in Japan: At lower bandwidths, people are passing on information; higher bandwidth is used to convey feelings.

It is foreseeable that in the tide of Internet technology revolution, 5G and the integration of artificial intelligence, big data, Internet of Things, cloud computing and other emerging technologies will certainly bring the latest technological impetus to social and economic development. Perhaps in the near future, 5G will bring about tremendous changes in all aspects of our lives. The words "intelligent" are close at hand...
