5G applications are moving from “testing the waters” to “setting sails”, the most in-depth exploration in the industrial field

On December 7, the 5G Application Sailing Innovation Summit Forum was held at the headquarters of China Unicom. At the roundtable salon of the conference, Li Shan, director of the 5G Innovation Center of China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, said that my country’s 5G applications are still in their infancy, and companies are not very clear about the business model, product form and development path of 5G applications, but in the industrial field. The most in-depth exploration of 5G.

The “5G Application Innovation and Development White Paper-Insights into the 4th “Blooming Cup” 5G Application Contest in 2021″ recently released by the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology also shows that the overall global 5G application is still in its infancy. The development momentum of 5G continues to increase, and the application of 5G is moving from “testing the waters” to “setting sails”. Li Shan said that among the cases collected by the “Blooming Cup” every year, industry accounts for a relatively high proportion, and the activity of innovation and the depth of technological exploration are also the highest.

Speaking of 5G applications, Li Shan said that the mining industry is currently the industry that is most actively embracing 5G. According to incomplete statistics, there may be more than one hundred mines across the country that have implemented 5G applications. Behind this is inseparable from the transformation needs of the mining industry itself. The state requires the realization of intelligent transformation of mines in the future, and mines will develop towards intelligence in the next five years. 5G applications can help mines integrate different capabilities originally dispersed in various networks, realize remote control of mining machines and unmanned inspections, etc. At the same time, 5G will also play a major role in mine production safety.

“What we are constantly doing in the application process is to effectively integrate our current intelligent technology and information technology in application scenarios, and apply in scenarios with outstanding advantages. For example, in the intelligent coal production of coal mines. , First applied to the remote video transmission of the working face.” At the roundtable salon, a person in charge of an Internet of Things company mainly engaged in energy intelligence said that the company also encountered problems in the application scenarios and application directions in the application of 5G. At the level, it also needs to be integrated with industrial technology.
