走进未知的 5G 时代
In the tiny state of Monaco on the Mediterranean Riviera, the future has arrived. These antennas are upgrades that will allow Monaco to handle the increased demands that 5G devices will put on networks. We’re in the process of installing the antennas on pretty much all the roofs because the aim is to cover the whole of Monaco.
对地中海里维埃拉的小国摩纳哥而言,未来已提前来临。这些天线都是升级版,可以让摩纳哥应对5G设备对网络更大的要求。我们正在所有屋顶上安装升级版天线,因为我们的目标是要让5G网络覆盖整个摩纳哥。
It is the antennas you can see behind me that we’re in the process of installing, and they will allow us to cover the whole Principality to have coverage everywhere inside. What is a 5G network? Without getting too deep into jargon, it will give your wireless device the ability to do a lot more of whatever you do online and do it faster and more efficiently. 5G is 10 times stronger, so that allows us to provide coverage for all multimedia uses for the many more people who will be connected.
大家可以看到,就是我身后的这些天线正在安装。安装后,我们将可以覆盖全国,让家家户户实现5G网络。5G网络是什 么?通俗易懂地说,5G网络可以让无线设备有能力做更多大家平时在网络上做的事情,速度更快、效率更高。5G网络的强度是4G的10倍,这样一来,就可以覆盖所有多媒体的使用,更多人能够实现互联互通。
5G reduces the connection weight by 10 times. Therefore, we can connect immediately. And that is essential for new uses, such as connected cars. And 5G also allows at least 10 times as many connections per square meter. And that is a very important factor in the technological revolution. But the networks they need to work on haven’t quite caught up yet.
5G网络将连接权减少为原来的1/10。因此,可以实现即刻连接。这对于新兴应用来说很有必要,比如车联网;其每平方米允许连接的用户数量也是4G的至少10倍。这对于技术变革是非常重要的因素。只不过,技术变革所需的网络环境还没跟上脚步。
Experts say as our lives, our homes and our cars become increasingly wired, we’re going to need all that new bandwidth. A few US cities have pockets of 5G, but don’t expect the speedy new services to really get rolling until the end of next year or even into 2020. Besides Monaco, it’s no surprise that the countries that are most likely to roll out 5G first are South Korea, China, Japan and the United States.
有专家表示,我们的生活、家庭、汽车都越来越多地接入网络,所以我们将需要全新的带宽。一些美国城市已经具备接入5G的能力,但别指望速度超快的5G网络能在明年年底乃至2020年之前实现。除了摩纳哥之外,非常有可能首批进入5G时代的国家还有韩国、中国、日本和美国。
