These adjustments bring the cost reduction, and it also meets the mid -to -high speed5GThe needs of application scenarios, such as wearables, video transmission, and various sensors, fully meet the connection needs of the mid -to -high -speed IoT.
RedCapTypical terminal application, including entry level5G CPE, Video application, industrial gateway/Sensor, vehicle applications, and wearable devices.
Peng Zhao: Thanks to President Yang for his in -depth analysis.Many research institutions, including our own predictions, thinkRedCap、5GMassive Internet of Things and4G LTE Cat 1 bisThe module arrives2030Annual realization54The key factor of the 100 million honeycomb IoT connection forecast,5G RedCapLarge -scale applications will from2024Start.
Please summarize and combine Yang5G RedCapThe characteristics of technology, analyze it for us5G RedCapThe current market performance of technology and future development trends.
Yang Kaijun: We predict,2024The year will beRedCapThe starting point of technical scale applications, especially in key areas such as smart grids, smart cities, and smart manufacturing.
Open upRedCapThere are three necessary conditions:5G SA(Independent networking),R17Version base station and supportRedCapdevice of.RedCapTechnology is particularly emphasized5GRich characteristics, such as ultra -reliable low latency communication (uRLLC）、5Glocal area network(5G LAN), Low power consumption, network slicing and high -precision time service.traditional5G NRBandwidth is100MHz，R17VersionRedCapDefinition bandwidth is20MHz，R18VersioneRedCapThe bandwidth is reduced to5MHz, So that the cost is more competitive.
Peng Zhao: President Yang mentionedRedCapLow cost and low power consumption are its core advantages.As end users, we naturally care5G RedCapWhat application scenarios can bring and how to improve our experience.According to our understanding,RedCapIt may be widely used in the fields of mass consumption in mobile office, smart cars, and smart wearables.Applications in these areas may encounter some challenges. We want to listen to your opinions.RedCapHow will we change our production, work and life?
Yang Kaijun: AboutRedCapThe ecosystem is still in the early stage.We can analyze from three aspects: network side, device side and ecology.
First of all, on the network side, the network needs to be upgraded to5G SA Core network, base station needs to be upgraded toR17Version, this will increase the capital expenditure of operators (CAPEX）。
Second, on the side of the device,RedCapThere is still a gap between the cost and market expectations.
Finally, in terms of ecology, we need more manufacturers to develop supportRedCapEquipment and applications to form a rich ecosystem.
by5GHoneycomb is an example. As a consumer, I have been looking forward to5GIt is more affordable in terms of price and can be widely used in non -mobile phone devices such as tablets.According to market research, if you want to apply on other devices5G, Now eMBBFor example, add one as an example, add one 5G The cost of the module is relatively high.However,RedCapThe application of technology can not only reduce costs significantly, but also allow users to enjoy at the same time5GLow latency, network slicing and other characteristics.With the continuous network coverage,RedCap It is very friendly for office scenes and game scenes.AR、VRandXRAs a hot topic in recent years, these products can also be used in wireless fields Wi-Fi Two different technologies with honeycomb,RedCapThere is also a place for martial arts.2024Year,RedCapIn the first year of the starting volume in China, Xianyuan looks forward to creating it with the upstream and downstream partners in the industry.RedCapecosystem.
RedCapCommercial launch
Peng Zhao:RedCapFrom technology, applications, and policies to everyone's expectations, it has been pushed to a very high development trend.Can you introduce itRedCapWhat stage is the commercialization process?
Yang Kaijun:RedCapIt is currently in the early stage of building an ecosystem.
Just mentioned just nowRedCapOf the several necessary conditions, the first is5G SAnetwork.Many operators adopt in the early stageNSAArchitecture for applicationRedCap, Need new equipment investment to replace the core network.This process requires time and more equipment investment.
at present,SAThe ratio of global layout is relatively low, which will affect the development of subsequent industries.We expect operators to continue to strengthenSAThe deployment of the network.
The second factor is cost and use cases.When we communicate with the industry in the industry, the cost is the most discussion.Mo -Yuan is also actively communicating with upstream and downstream, and strives to use its own comprehensive advantages to reduce the cost of module to the acceptable level of the market to promote the rapid development of the industry.This is a process of chickens or eggs first. Is the price be reduced first? Or or the industry first make more infrastructure investment to promote the vigorous development of the application ecology. This requires market conditions.
AlthoughRedCapThe commercial process is still in the early stage of building an ecosystem, but we can look at the preparations for ecological upstream and downstream.
In terms of chip, Qualcomm'sSDX35The plan has been commercial,MediaTek T300Plan2023Year11Monthly released,ASRexist2024At the beginning of the yearMWCPublished on it1903plan.These are the current progress of the main chip solution.
Take a look again5G SAnetwork.2023EU5G SAThe deployment is displayed, from6National6Family operators have opened up12openRedCapNetwork, accounting for proportion10%。
5G SAThe progress is not as fast as expected.5GIn terms of investment, more than500Family operators are investing in compliance3GPPstandard5GNetwork, among them5G SAThe network occupies only55open.
Analysis Mason Research data shows,5G SAThe main obstacles of network deployment are end -to -end costs.Other influencing factors, such as technical maturity, no need for the time being5GAdvanced performance, lack of use cases, etc., are not so important in the face of cost.As long as the cost is low enough, the operator is still willing to use5GTechnology, especiallySABased onSAofRedCap。
In addition, Ericsson's data shows that it is currently adoptedSAThe main areas of the Internet are distributed in China, the United States, German, and India.RedCapIt will gradually usher in large -scale development in these areas.
worldwideRedCapDynamic shows that Qualcomm and many global operators partners are preparing before landing; at the same time, MediaTek And ecological partners are doing technology before the technology landing PoCIncluding data and non -data applications.
China's three major operators have begun deploymentRedCapTechnical network, all new base stations supportRedCapFunction.First batchRedCapData terminals mainly focus on some vertical applications, such as power grids, video transmission, industrial, mining, and mining,FWA/MBB, Smart Park and Internet of Vehicles.2025It is expected to see wearable devices in the year.
The main American operators will2024Complete the preparation of network access certification every year.2024In the second half of the year, you will see the data terminal, such asRedCapData card.2025It is expected to launch wearable devices, such as watches.
EU, Brazil, Australia may be in2025Make a network in the year, Japan may be in2025After the year, the network is laid.Indian operator pairRedCapTechnology is very interested, Saudi Arabia is in2023The year has been launched FWAbusiness.
Move far communication:5G RedCapPioneer
Peng Zhao: We all know that Jianyuan, as a leading company in the field of Internet of Things, took the lead in launchingRedCapRelated modules, and have released a variety of modules based on different platforms, for itRedCapThe development of technology has played a good leading role.What I want to explore is that inRedCapIn the process of technology development, what kind of role will Mo Yuan play?
Yang Kaijun: move far awayIoTField pioneer.IfRedCapThe module is the bridge of technology landing, so it is actually moving far awayIoTThe bridge of the industry is alsoIoTThe small bee of the industry is like our mascotQThe honey is the same.In the process of collecting honey, we assist upstream and downstream partners to achieve business value.
Mo -Yuan is closely related to the upstream and downstream of the global honeycomb industry chain, including global operators, chip merchants, equipment vendors, regulators, and software service providers.So are weGSMAMember units such as industry organizations participate in regular industry exchanges and summits, obtain cutting -edge information, and guide product development and technology implementation.
Shi Yuan is the first to releaseRedCapModule manufacturers have prepared different solutions for this technology and subsequent applications, and carried out in different regions of the world with operators and base station equipment suppliers PoC, Have supported customers to make products into different forms of terminals and build togetherRedCapEcology.
Peng Zhao: AlthoughRedCapIt is still in the early stage, but everyone has been cognitive and expectations for it for a long time.Including India, Saudi Arabia and other places, they have all startedRedCapRelated pilot applications.Mo Yuan also launchedRedCapModule.In addition to cost considerations, moving far can stillWhat unique values do partners and end users provide?
Yang Kaijun: For many domestic companies, globalization is a compulsory course.Mo Yuan has a global layout. We have set up a comprehensive R & D center in North America, Europe, Asia -Pacific, and domestic. In addition, we have also created a global sales and technical service network, which can assist the localization of products and business.
I can simply list some points:
First, based on our in -depth understanding of the global honeycomb ecology, we can provide important information support in the product decision -making process.
Second, we are hereIoTFields have extensive involvement and rich experience, which can help customers' products quickly landing and provide timely local support.
Third, we have comprehensive global certification testing services, which can provide one -stop certification service support to save customers time and cost.
These are the value we can bring to partners.
Peng Zhao: Back to today's theme, we have also seen some operators and other institutions releasedRedCapWhite Paper, Mo -Yuan Communication Selection Published at this time "5G RedCapTechnical development andWhat are the strategic considerations of the White Paper "?For people inside and outside the industry, this white paper has the guiding significance and value, and can you please introduce it to you.
Yang Kaijun: Although the ecology is gradually mature, we see that the enthusiasm of the industry is actually getting higher and higher.Move far communication isRedCapAn indispensable part of the industrial ecology.In order to create the entire ecology with the industry, let more people in the industry understand the current situation of this technology.For application scenarios and future development, we chose to release our own "5G RedCapTechnical Development and Application White Paper ".
We have also made a lot of application attempts. The most important thing is the application of data types.The partner who moved far has developedRedCapTerminal, includingFWA CPEThe main demand comes from overseas.Domestic optical fiber infrastructure is very complete,FWA CPEThere are relatively few.In addition, there are industrial Internet of Things related gateways, video transmission products and edge computing boxes.In this process, we are also cooperating with various regional operators to conduct technical verification, such as network slicing, which is alsoRedCapOne of the key features of applications.
Future can be expected:RedCapTechnical compositionIoTNew chapter
Peng Zhao: Everyone is rightRedCapThe expectations may be very high, but they should also look at the development of this technology with a long -term development mentality.It may last for a long time.Can you please help us analyze itRedCapFuture development direction and potential market opportunities?
Yang Kaijun:3GPP R17Version2022Frozen year.from2023From the beginning of the year, we saw itRedCapRelease of solutions.2024Year6moon18On the day, we saw itR18The freezing of the version, looking forward to2025Began at the beginning of the yeareRedCapPublication.
In the short term, market opportunities are mainly concentrated in various formsR17VersionRedCapdataTerminal, includingFWA CPE, IoT sensor, video applications and various wearable devices.
In the middle and long term, with the continuous upgrading iteration,IoTEcological application scenarios will gradually switch to5GIn industrial ecology.This is called a huge market space, which is a huge market space. It is expected to create new market opportunities in many areas to promote the vigorous development of the entire Internet of Things industry.
