From construction to landing, from network to application, 5G small base stations have reached a new level and are moving towards a bright future of vigorous development. Under the new situation, the small base station has also ushered in a new development direction, Meng Xinyu, deputy general manager of the public network BG and general manager of the 5G business department of CLP Keptian Technology Co., Ltd., said in an interview with the all-media reporter of the communication world that in the future, the small base station products of Potevio Technology will gradually realize customization and localization, and realize the integration and coordination of space, space and ground, so as to better play the advantages of small base station products and improve the coverage of network signals in an all-round way.
Go deeper and more practical, and the application scenarios are constantly enriched
From the perspective of practical experience, the current scenarios for small base stations are mainly as follows.
From the perspective of demand, small base stations are further subdivided and extended outward based on indoor coverage scenarios. Initially, small cells are positioned in indoor coverage scenarios, especially in rate-sensitive or capacity-sensitive mid- and high-value indoor scenarios. With the joint exploration and development in recent years, the indoor coverage scene has been gradually subdivided, subdivided into public space, family space, corporate space, etc. In this process, small base stations have also evolved from extended base stations to home base stations and enterprise base stations. In outdoor scenarios, the capability range of small base stations has also been continuously extended, and some integrated base stations have begun to solve coverage problems, such as rural or suburban coverage requirements, to better meet the needs of operators in diversified coverage scenarios.
From the perspective of landing, small base stations are gradually extending from the scenarios covered by the public network to the scenarios covered by the private network. The earliest small base station products were implemented in public network scenarios. With the gradual implementation of operators' centralized procurement, it has also led to the gradual maturity of the small base station industry chain and supply chain, and the cost has been further reduced, which will also become a strong support for the implementation of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's "signal upgrade" special action. At the same time, small base stations are gradually being applied from public network coverage scenarios to private network coverage scenarios, such as factories and mines.
At the same time, small base stations are constantly "improving themselves" and fully integrating with new technologies such as artificial intelligence. The combination of small cells and AI will better enable the development of both aspects.
On the one hand, in the direction of computing power integration, small base stations can better meet the demand for large computing power for AI. In this regard, operators have done a lot of research and implementation, from the mode of decoupling software and hardware to the direction of general-purpose server-based deployment. The open system and platform architecture equivalent to small cells can integrate computing power and communication capabilities to solve the demand for computing power for AI, which is especially suitable for digital application scenarios that integrate sensing, transmission and computing.
On the other hand, small base stations can provide application support for AI development. Many AI applications have high requirements on speed, latency, and capacity, and highly reliable communication methods are required to solve data transmission problems in mobile application scenarios. In the field of industrial Internet, Potevio Technology has also been promoting the implementation of 5G+AI-related applications.
With the continuous promotion of localized chips, small base stations are also "running" to complete the localization evolution. Especially in the field of baseband and RF, there are mainstream teams that have completed the development and initial application of localized chips. Localized chips can not only improve performance, but also effectively reduce costs. At present, based on the mainstream localization of chips, Potevio Technology has fully realized the national production plan in terms of baseband and RF R&D and technical reserves, and related products will gradually be commercialized this year.
In this regard, Meng Xinyu has three suggestions, one is to support more, and the entire industrial ecology should support localization; the second is to try more, to understand and study the localization plan, and use it in the product;
Taking advantage of the wind, the future of small base stations can be expected
In the 6G era, small base stations are also gradually "going to the sky and the ground". Meng Xinyu believes that small base stations also need to comply with the trend of space-air-ground integration, gradually improve the coverage of space and ground networks, and realize the complementarity and synergy of space-ground networks. However, this also poses new challenges to the development of small cells, and it is necessary to explore more converged coverage scenarios on the basis of strengthening the coverage capability of terrestrial networks. At the same time, in the context of the country's vigorous development of low-altitude economic industry, the ground network still has strong support capabilities, such as synaesthesia integrated base stations, which can well meet the needs of ground-to-air continuous coverage.
"Whether it is the integration of air, space and ground or the low-altitude economy, in the coordinated promotion of the integration of space and earth, 5G technology still has a lot of room to play, and mobile communication technology has become one of the mainstream trends. Meng Xinyu concluded. Therefore, 5G small base stations will also have a lot of room to play in the future in satellite Internet, from scene-level integration to product-level integration, mobile communication technology and strong R&D capabilities will also have a greater role in promoting the development of satellite Internet. Taking advantage of the wind, small base stations have a promising future. Potevio Technology actively promotes the development of the small base station industry, and continues to invest in the field of products and technologies, and has achieved many results.
First, the level of customization continues to improve, Potevio small base station products can not only provide public network coverage capabilities, but also provide private network customization services, the ability to customize, especially the ability to customize based on the localization platform, to better meet the needs of the industry, in the field of security and other fields have a very wide range of applications. With the rapid progress of localized products such as cost and maturity, the localization industry chain and supply chain will reach an unprecedented height, and there will be more imagination in the future in terms of customized base stations.
In addition to the research and development of small base station products, Potevio Technology has many years of technical accumulation in network planning and optimization, which will be deeply integrated with products, and the grasp of customer needs will be more accurate, and the formulation, delivery and service of solutions will be more cost-effective.
Customer-oriented, Potevio Technology is providing customers with corresponding communication products and services in a more cost-effective way. Today's Potevio Technology is actively participating in the tide of 5G-A, 6G, satellite Internet, low-altitude economy, etc., vigorously investing resources, iterating related products, improving corresponding capabilities, and promoting the continuous development of the small base station industry.
