Actively explore the application of 5G in various industries
5G empowers, operator services are not limited to communications

If one day, when you walk into the operator’s business hall, the service staff can know who you are through face recognition, and immediately provide targeted services, and you can even directly ask the smart robot in the business hall about the package features and handling Way, is it very time-saving and labor-saving?
Nowadays, operators have realized the application of artificial intelligence by deploying 5G wireless communication technology, bringing this scenario into reality.
5G+VR brings a new experience
At the National Industry and Informatization Work Conference held on December 28, 2020, Minister of Industry and Information Technology Xiao Yaqing stated that in 2021, 5G network construction and application will be promoted in an orderly manner, 5G coverage in major cities will be accelerated, joint construction and sharing will be promoted, and 5G base stations will be built 60 Ten thousand or more.
Operators have abundant data resources, and how to use 5G technology to truly utilize these data is the direction they are exploring.
During the epidemic prevention period, major scenic spots across the country launched "Cloud Tour" and "Cloud Tourism" with the help of 5G+VR technology to meet people's travel needs without queuing or getting together.
Various application scenarios under the "5G+VR combination" bring people a brand new life experience.
Based on the high-quality 5G network, Yunnan Dounan Flower Town has built a series of 5G applications including 5G+VR flower fields, 5G+AR guided tours, and 5G+ drone cruises.
Among them, "VR Flower Field" uses panoramic live broadcast and virtual reality technology to enable visitors to experience the real beauty of the flower field and enjoy the fun of planting flowers.
“We use 360° cameras to capture and stitch real-time video of the real scene in the three-way flower field greenhouse, push it to the VR helmet, and view the real-time panorama of the flower field greenhouse through the helmet, so that visitors can remotely watch the flower field and understand the flower planting situation. Citizens' tours provide more choices." said Dong Shujiao, Kunming Branch of China Mobile Yunnan Company.
On January 13, the Huangzhuang apartment isolation point called Shijiazhuang "Vulcan Mountain Hospital" started construction in Zhengding, Shijiazhuang. 13 companies including CCTV News, CCTV, Learning Power, State-owned Xiaoxin, China Mobile (Tik Tok, Kuaishou), etc. The live broadcast platform carried out live broadcast of construction to the whole society, and successfully completed the on-site network communication guarantee and high-definition live broadcast task through 5G.
Experts believe that 5G live broadcast applications are a very good turning point for operators.
On the one hand, live broadcast of goods can strengthen corporate brand promotion.
For example, the chief executives and short video marketing initiated by the three major operators are new means to promote brand marketing.
On the other hand, through live broadcast to bring goods to change the traditional operation and marketing model, and accelerate the digitalization of physical stores.
At present, it is difficult for operators to expand customers in traditional business halls, but live streaming and short videos provide opportunities.
Creating an online and offline two-lane operation model is a new direction for operators to transform digital marketing in the future.
Intelligent transformation to reduce production costs
In the field of artificial intelligence, operators are not only important participants, but also play multiple roles.
Based on the advantages of "cloud, management, terminal" and big data applications, operators are at the forefront of information networks and ubiquitous connectivity; with the help of capabilities and experience in information applications and big data, operators can use technology and resources Advantage participates in the field of 5G research and development.
For example, in 2018, China Mobile Research Institute established the "Artificial Intelligence and Smart Operation R&D Center" to accelerate the construction of key artificial intelligence technology platforms and capabilities for smart operations and smart services.
Zhoushan Port is the world's largest port and the first to introduce 5G technology into the production system.
Take tire crane operation as an example. At present, Zhoushan Port has undergone tremendous changes: in the past, crane operators had to climb to a 30-meter-high ceiling driver’s cab to work, requiring drivers to be under 40 years old; now 5G remote operation has become the norm, and drivers can In a remote and comfortable office environment, the remote control of the tire crane is completed through the monitoring screen and the operating handle. Employees over 40 are fully qualified for remote operation.
How to use 5G technology to reduce production and operation costs has become the focus of various industries.
Valin Xianggang’s 5G smart steel project uses the “5G+ smart crane” solution to operate the steel-making crane in real time from the remote control chair to perform operations such as unloading, lifting, chucking, and cooperating with maintenance.
5G makes remote control precise and efficient.
It is reported that remote semi-automated operation can save 23% of manpower costs, and remote monitoring, one-key startup, and autonomous operation can save 20% of manpower.
Shan Zhiguang, director of the Information and Industrial Development Department of the National Information Center, believes that 5G, as an infrastructure, is the foundation of the digital economy and the underlying facility for building a digital power. It is moderately advanced in industry applications and industrial chains. Applications and industries must also evolve with the evolution of facilities, and constantly improve the industrial ecology.
Operators should work together and explore together to make the application of 5G in the industrial field better and better, and the prospects are getting wider.
