Chinese regulators have given the green light to Chinese telecom operators to test 5G in major cities local media is reporting. State-run operators, also the largest three in China—China Unicom (中国联通), China Mobile (中国移动), China Telecom (中国电信)—will begin setting up 5G networks in 16 cities for testing. It is unclear when the tests will actually start.

China Unicom will begin testing 5G network in 16 cities including Beijing, Tianjin, Qingdao, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan, Guiyang, Chengdu, Shenzhen, Fuzhou, Zhengzhou, and Shenyang.

China Mobile will conduct external field test and set up more than a hundred 5G base stations in each of the following five cities: Hangzhou, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Suzhou, and Wuhan. The service operator will also conduct 5G network application demonstration in 12 cities including Beijing, Chengdu, and Shenzhen.

China Telecom will start testing in six cities including Xiong’an, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Suzhou, Chengdu, Lanzhou. The government is said to be pushing China Telecom to extend their testing operations to six more cities.

5G is instrumental to the development of many emerging technologies such as AR/VR, smart IoT, smart car. The US and China are vying to be the first to roll out 5G. Since the beginning of the year, China has begun downscaling its 2G services as telecom operators turn to more advanced 3G, 4G, and 5G technologies. Earlier this month China Unicom announced plans to shut down their 2G network.

5G要来了! 三大运营商试点城市敲定

从从三大运营商处证实， 国家发改委等有关部门已批准联通、电信、移动在北京等部分城市试点建设5G网络。

中国联通披露，将在北京、天津、青岛、杭州、南京、武汉、贵阳、成都、深圳、福州、郑州、沈阳等16个城市开展5G试点。

中国移动表示，其将在杭州、上海、广州、苏州、武汉这五个城市开展5G外场测试，每个城市将建设超过100个5G基站，还将在北京、成都、深圳等12个城市再进行5G业务应用示范。

中国电信的5G试点城市目前暂定为“6+6”，包括之前已确定的雄安、深圳、上海、苏州、成都、兰州六个城市。此外，将根据国家相关部委要求继续扩大试点范围，将再增设6个城市。

近日，山东联通宣布， 4月18日下午17：09分，在山东联通青岛分公司通信机房，技术专家在搭建的5G测试网络上成功实现高速数据传送，速率达到1.6Gbps。这意味着山东联通第一个5G通话顺利实现，5G离普通百姓的生活更近一步。

一阶段组网后，山东联通5G网络的峰值速率将是4G的十倍以上，一部高清电影1秒之内即可完成下载，下载一部30G的蓝光电影，也仅需18.75秒。不仅如此，无线数据时延也将大幅度下降至1毫秒，这意味着无人驾驶、自动控制等高新技术将真正从实验理论走近现实生活。
