June 24, 2017, China's first 5G base station opened in Guangzhou University City. In the Guangdong Mobile 5G field environment, 5G network speed stable at 2Gbps or more. Compared with 4G technology, 5G network has a stronger performance, support for ultra-high rate, ultra-low latency, large connection application scenarios. The past two years, smart phones, PC, Tablet PC growth is generally slowing down, consumer electronics products for the pulling effect of the PCB market weakened, resulting in PCB demand decline. 5G applications, there will be extraordinary potential to lead the future growth of the PCB industry.

5G will transform the era of 4G electronics industry pattern

If we use the 5G mobile phone, so fast network, it will not go to a place to find WIFI, the user can seamlessly, smooth transition in any space, eliminating the need to switch the network, enter the password and other cumbersome steps , WiFi is likely to "die". At the same time, in the 5G era, only a standard mobile phone can pack the world, significantly reduce the delay time, support ultra-fast download and upload network speed, 10-100 times the network speed, 10-100 times the number of interconnection terminal equipment, 1000 times Of the data capacity, the delay reduced to 5 milliseconds below the battery life is extended by 10 times to several years.

5G brought about by the benefits in various industries and the whole society; IoT, car networking, automatic driving, remote mechanical control, VR (virtual reality), etc. will enter the era of 5G began to achieve. 5G will make the world have a common band, you can better achieve the world's links between each other. 2016 is the first year of the 5G standard, accelerate the development of 5G has become the strategic consensus of the international community, many countries are accelerating the development of 5G technology. Who want to become the first international technology with 5G technology power.

China's PCB industry will master the most authoritative standard 5G

March 1, 2017, at the World Mobile Communications Conference (MWC), Huawei won three awards in three awards, and three awards are seven awards, the highest gold content! "Best Mobile Network Infrastructure Award", and "Best Technology Enforcement Award", as well as "Evolution from the LTE to the 5G Outstanding Contribution Award", as the high award in the communications field.

In addition to Huawei, China Mobile, China Unicom is also completed in the 5G field layout. China Mobile said that China Mobile 5G Joint Innovation Center, after nine months of promotion, now has 51 communications partners, such as basic communications, Internet of things, car networking, virtual reality / enhanced reality, cloud intelligent robots, industrial Internet, six The first four open laboratories. It is clear that China Mobile's joint communications companies, Internet companies and vertical application industry partners are trying to build a 5G cross-industry integration ecosystem.

In the 5G future network, China Unicom is currently developing multi-level cloud collaboration based on the 5G network architecture, support mobile edge computing end to end service solutions. The user experience of future video services will be greatly improved. Huawei calls for governments and regulators to release more communications spectrum and build wireless gigabytes (Gigaband). At the same time, the world should guide the 5G technical standards in an open and cooperative spirit to reduce costs and achieve seamless global interoperability.

From the above layout we can see that China is developing 5G world standards. 5G lead the trend of all things Internet, master the core 5G leading technology, will ensure that our country at least 10 years of communication technology in the world's leading position! This is also the Chinese PCB industry aspirations to the world market to provide a superior geographical advantage, and the exchange of advanced technology protection.

5G will bring hundreds of millions of times the value of China's PCB industry growth

China's digital development will be easier, more investment in the Internet industry, thereby stimulating data consumption, improve national competitiveness. By 2030, 5G related industries will generate about 2.9 trillion yuan of economic added value and 8 million new jobs. The world is in the "critical period" of the 5G standard, and the 5G application requires the government to build an Internet infrastructure to create a better business environment.

The world's largest 5G test base has been built in Beijing Huairou area, Ericsson, Huawei, Nokia and other industry giants are involved; and China's major telecom operators plan to achieve in 2005 5G mobile network commercialization. According to Jefferies Securities analyst EdisonLee estimates that the number of 5G subscribers in China will reach 588.3 million in 2022, accounting for 39.9% of the total number of local mobile services subscribers. Lee pointed out that Baidu, Alibaba Group and Tencent will take the lead through the 5G push 4K, 8K video services and expansion, virtual reality related applications. He said the wisdom of the city plan will use 5G network and artificial intelligence (AI) to complete the public safety, transportation, disaster management and other tasks.

Paul Kyungwhoon Cheun, head of next-generation team at Samsung Electronics, said in July that Samsung was developing the so-called "mmWave" ultra-high spectrum applications. These large number of idle or low application spectrum is about 5 to 10 times more than the total amount of LTE.

Ericsson senior vice president Ulf Ewaldsson has pointed out that 4G is not built for the Internet of Things; 5G not only allows mobile devices to enjoy faster network speed, but also for the Internet of Things to provide uninterrupted (on) online service.

With the emergence of new application requirements, is bound to drive the supply of PCB; at the same time the industry will strengthen the PCB enterprises in China and other countries between the peer exchange of technology to promote the rise of cutting-edge enterprises to promote China's products, technology upgrades, , Establish a Chinese brand are of great benefit.

But need to pay attention to: 5G technology development, the promotion industry may appear as expected situation; the same time, 5G era of the majority of PCB enterprise research and development, production and management capabilities put forward higher requirements.
