At a time when the country is still complaining about the slow speed of their own 5G, the people in the "next door" have begun to complain that 5G is a fake. In South Korea, where 5G commercialization is earlier than the mainland, countless residents have begun to complain about the operators of the consortium: Why is the speed of 5G so slow? Is it difficult to use fake 5G?
South Koreans have reached an intolerable point for their own 5G, which is not only expensive, but also has a very average experience. News also broke scandals about 5G from time to time, such as South Korea's 5G does not support the 5G band, south Korea's 5G base station number is only 1/20% of the number of 4G base, and so on.
It is no wonder that Koreans complain that their 5G is fake 5G and want to cancel the 5G package. The experience did not go up, but it cost more money, and no one was happy to put it aside. Not to mention the "fake" 5G!
Why did South Korea's 5G pull its crotch?
Everything has its own reasons behind it, why did South Korea go from being the first country to enable commercial 5G to the current "fake 5G" country? Naturally, there is a reason.
To say that South Korea's 5G, in April 2019, started commercial use, a few hours faster than laomei, and more than half a year faster than the mainland. Not to mention that South Korea has opened the 5G era, at least it has mastered the advantage of time. However, its 5G development is not very good, not only is it caught up by the mainland, but the gap is getting wider and wider.
The main reason for this phenomenon is that South Korean operators overestimate themselves and always cut corners. South Korean communication providers first opened the 5G commercial era in order to make money, but commercial use is only the first step, and the subsequent popularization of 5G is the most important.
The most important thing about the popularity of 5G is the support of the number of dense base stations. Be aware that communication relies on electromagnetic waves. From 4G to 5G, the biggest difference is the difference in bands, and the band difference means that the wavelength and frequency have changed. The higher the frequency, the more information it can carry and the faster the transmission speed, but in such a frequency band, the shorter the wavelength and the worse the signal. Now 5G is divided into centimeter wave and millimeter wave, which is the difference in the band, although the centimeter wave is not as fast as the millimeter, but the signal is better, and the millimeter wave although the transmission speed is fast, but the signal is not good.
But whether it is millimeter wave or centimeter wave, the wavelength is definitely inferior to 4G. This puts forward higher requirements for the popularity of 5G, at least its base stations are built more than 4G base stations. At present, the country with the largest number of 5G base stations in the world is the mainland, accounting for 60% of the world, but even so, the number of 5G base stations on the mainland is only about 30% of the number of 4G, and it is still far from the real 5G popularization.
In South Korea, last year, the number of 5G base stations was only 10% of 4G. There is not enough base station number to support, and of course, a bad signal is also an inevitability.
Why did South Korea pull its crotch on the base station? On the one hand, because the level of base stations is not enough, on the other hand, because the construction cost of 5G base stations is relatively high, South Korean operators do not want to spend so much money for the time being, so they slow down the speed of 5G construction. With the price of 5G patents falling and the cost of base stations continuing to decline, it is believed that the future 5G construction speed in South Korea will be much better.
Relatively speaking, the mainland's 5G construction is much more reliable, although the 5G experience is still far from meeting expectations, but the corresponding base station facilities are really in place, otherwise it will not account for 60% of the world. It is believed that as the construction of 5G becomes more and more in place, the 5G experience will slowly go up.
5G useless theory
The transition from 3G to 4G is an important advance in the history of communications. Both the speed of communication and the quality of communication have risen a notch. Although the cost of 4G is much more expensive than that of 3G, most consumers are still willing to pay for the high quality of 4G.
But from 4G to 5G is not the same, most consumers' attitude towards 5G is really not good. In the speed of 5G key publicity, consumers do not feel far beyond the 4G experience in actual use, and the 5G signal is still not as good as 4G overall, and from time to time there will be an embarrassing situation of falling from the signal full box to no signal. The use of consumers has caused great trouble, and then word of mouth has become general.
Because of this, many people in China began to believe in 5G, and the "5G" useless theory was also very popular for a while, causing more recognition. But is 5G really useless?
It must be useful, otherwise why is Laomei targeting Huawei 5G? Why is the world stepping up 5G deployment? It can only be said that 5G is still in the development stage, and the 5G we are using now is only "sub-5G". In the future, 5G will definitely develop in a more perfect direction.
Moreover, 5G is actually the forerunner, in the era of artificial intelligence, many intelligent industries are not yet mature, and these intelligent industries, including the automatic driving of intelligent cars, meta-universes, etc., need the support of stronger communication capabilities. Communication development must be a step faster in order to serve artificial intelligence, and now the development of communication is far from reaching the mature stage, and the future fantasy of the metacosm is still more in the conceptual stage.
All in all, the communication represented by 5G still has a long way to go, but don't say anything about 5G uselessness.
In the world's first country to commercialize 5G, "fake 5G" harms the people
The world's first country to commercialize 5G, "tragically" the public complained: this is fake 5G!
