Abstract: January 16 news, the World Mobile Communications Systems Association (GSMA) to promote the global acceleration plan, will accelerate the development of 5G millimeter wave technology, global telecommunications industry, chip, equipment manufacturers are also actively following up, become a new driving force to promote 5G growth.
On January 16, the World Association of Mobile Communication Systems (GSMA) promoted the global acceleration plan, which will accelerate the development of 5G millimeter wave technology, and global telecommunications operators, chips, and equipment manufacturers are also actively following up, becoming a new driving force for 5G growth.
5G spectrum is divided into sub-6G below 6GHz, and millimeter wave (mmWave) above 24GHz, the GSMA set up a global acceleration plan at the end of last year, calling on telecom operators China Unicom, NTT DoCoMo, Telstra, Verizon, chip industry Qualcomm and equipment manufacturer Ericsson to join to accelerate the landing of 5G millimeter wave technology and applications. Millimeter wave is expected to become the key technology of MWC in 2022.
The GSMA estimates that the release of 5G millimeter wave spectrum from 2020 to 2034 is expected to generate $565 billion in global GDP growth. The GSMA believes that millimeter wave will become an important part of the development of 5G technology, compared with the 5G network using Sub 6G alone, the use of Sub 6G combined with the millimeter wave network is expected to save 35% of the cost, and there are currently more than 140 commercial and planned commercial equipment to support 5G mmWave.
In the past, the global 5G construction plan was mainly based on the Sub 6G band, and in addition to the United States, Japan, Europe, Southeast Asia, Australia, Latin America, Chinese mainland, etc. also actively deployed millimeter wave 5G networks, millimeter wave 5G networks In addition to strengthening 5G network capacity and strengthening information receiving, millimeter wave small base stations are expected to become the focus of enterprise private network construction.
In addition to Qualcomm's launch of 5G millimeter wave chips, MediaTek also announced that the first 5G millimeter wave chip will be shipped from the second quarter of this year, and the terminal products in the third quarter will be released.
At present, in addition to Apple's iPhone 13 series, Sharp, Samsung, etc., OPPO, TCL, HMD, ZTE, Motorola, VIVO, Honor, and Xiaomi also plan to launch 5G millimeter wave-supported smartphones in 2022.
Taiwan Netcom factory Zhonglei, KaiQi, Zhengwen also actively invested in the research and development of millimeter wave small base station, Zhonglei said that in the past, deep ploughing of small base stations, the cumulative global small base station shipped more than millions of sets, 5G millimeter wave small base station following the United States FCC certification into the international market, but also became the first Taiwan factory to pass the NCC certification to seize the Taiwan telecom market.
The main text actively cuts into the millimeter wave 5G base station router and grabs the overall solution of the 5G private network. Jinbao continues to lay out 5G and 6G products, covering millimeter wave products and cutting into the open network architecture.
Copper foil substrate photoelectric optimistic about the advanced packaging technology AiP with 5G millimeter wave communication has become a trend, in addition to applications in mobile phones, including Internet of Things devices, wearable devices and other 5G applications will be used, the demand is four to five times that of other applications.
Gallium arsenide and power amplifier factory Quanxun Technology actively layouts millimeter wave PA products for commercial 5G small base stations and low-orbit satellite communications, and has begun to send samples for testing, and it is expected to produce goods in quantities this year.
