On February 20, the Guizhou node of China Radio and Television held a groundbreaking ceremony. At the ceremony, the official revealed a blockbuster news, that is, China Radio and Television will officially commercialize Section 192 on May 17.
By signing the base station co-construction and sharing agreement, China Radio and Television leased 2G/3G/4G base stations and some 5G base stations from China Mobile, ensuring the coverage of basic communication services. In addition, China Radio and Television has also leased a 700MHz wireless bearer network from China Mobile, that is, the part of the wireless network between 5G base stations and provincial and municipal data centers.
At this stage, many network services of China Radio and Television are achieved by renting the base stations of China Mobile, China Mobile as the strongest comprehensive strength of the three major operators, its 4G is the mainland's self-developed TDD-LTE, the comprehensive experience is not as good as FDD-LTE, but in the 5G field, the mobile network experience has been quite outstanding. Xiaolei coordinates Guangzhou, in the residence can receive a mobile 5G signal, the signal of the connection is relatively not so good.
The advantage of China Radio and Television lies in the field of cable TV networks, and many middle-aged and elderly people are still accustomed to connecting to a digital cable TV network. China Radio and Television can launch preferential joint packages, and the market share should increase significantly in a short period of time.
5G broadcasting is a major feature of radio and television, which can realize interactive ultra-high-definition content at low cost, and can also complete the reception and distribution of virtual reality content. VR content could explode in the next decade, and it is possible for radio and television to become the second largest operator after mobile if they seize this opportunity.
At this stage, Xiao Lei is most concerned about this 700MHz N28 band, which belongs to the golden band in the 5G band. Low-frequency electromagnetic waves have strong penetration and can be transmitted to a longer range. It can build one-tenth of the competitor's base stations to complete the same range of 5G signal coverage.
At present, the comprehensive strength of China Radio and Television is weaker, so it chose to build a 700MHz frequency band with China Mobile. It is foreseeable that in a short period of time, these two companies have great advantages in the range of 5G signal coverage, and China Unicom Will be in a certain disadvantage.
However, the relevant departments have issued a proposal for 5G band roaming, advocating that 5G networks should not be repeated. At that time, Unicom users can also use the N28 band, consumers should pay special attention to the purchase of support for N28 band when buying mobile phones.
