As the latest generation of mobile communication technology, what role does 5G play in the epidemic?

5G is the latest generation of cellular mobile communication technology and an extension of 4G, 3G and 2G systems. The application of 5G technology promotes the development of the industry and increases the transmission speed of the network. Now it also plays a very important role in this "war epidemic" without gunpowder.

Fighting the epidemic promotes development, and 5G network and big data play a significant role. Since the outbreak, 5G networks and big data have played an important role in epidemic prevention and control, resource allocation, and resumption of work and production. For example:

5G application scenarios for medical care

5G telemedicine scenarios:

This epidemic has gone from the initial "no obvious human-to-human transmission" to "human-to-human transmission". "Human-to-human transmission" spread rapidly, and some medical staff were infected in the process. When isolation measures are taken, more patients with suspected symptoms flock to the hospital, causing secondary transmission or non-infected persons being infected. In such a major infectious disease situation, the most effective solution is to minimize crowd gatherings in various scenarios, decisively adopt self-isolation, community isolation, and regional isolation, and then use 5G telemedicine to conduct preliminary screening and arrange for highly suspected cases. Patients should seek medical treatment in order or be transported to their homes for isolation by special vehicles. What is more practical and effective is to first make good use of 5G remote consultation, remote detection, and mobile ambulance. Home-level 5G telemedicine requires 5G transmission equipment, 5G remote consultation equipment (large-screen medical sensors, etc.), or remote consultation equipment with built-in 5G communication modules. This type of scenario can be reused with daily remote medical insurance scenarios. .

5G unmanned medical scenario:

Once an infected patient is diagnosed, he or she must be treated in isolation. Currently, isolation treatment in China still requires specialized nurses to provide care, but this has already happened abroad. The case of robot-assisted caregiving. We have seen that during isolation and treatment, a large number of medical staff have heavy workloads, long working hours, and high risks of infection. 5G unmanned medical care can solve or partially solve these problems. Simple isolated medical care tasks, such as delivering water and meals, drug distribution, body temperature measurement, etc., can use 5G medical care robots, and 5G medical care smart speakers and 5G question answering machines can be equipped at the patient's bedside. Diagnostic and testing equipment can also reduce the work intensity of medical staff and reduce the chance of infection.

Public Security Management 5G Application Scenarios

During the special period of fighting the epidemic, public security management becomes even more important, all of which are "human sea tactics", but this It is not a long-term solution. To fight against the epidemic, we must put people first. For problems that can be solved with technology, do not use people to face the danger:

5G health monitoring scenario:

Although areas with severe epidemics Although measures to "close the city" have been adopted, public areas and communities in the city still inevitably have crowds of people moving around, so overnight "temperature measurement" has become a scene that must be faced as soon as you leave home. However, as long as you go out, your temperature will be measured several times. The methods and equipment for temperature measurement are also strange, but most of them are slow in efficiency. In areas with large crowds such as subway stations, it will cause crowds to gather due to temperature measurement. , and have to be tested several times an hour on the road. 5G temperature measurement can solve this scenario very well. For example, the 5G thermal imaging human body temperature measurement information platform relies on 5G transmission technology to transmit video and corresponding data to a large screen or cloud platform in real time for data recording and monitoring. The advantages of this solution are that it is easy to deploy, non-contact, and fast to pass. Through cloud big data management, repeated testing can be reduced within a certain period of time, and once a mass infection event occurs, it can be "traced".

5G high-definition video:

Currently, various types of cameras are common in public areas. However, when fighting the epidemic, many places and scenes need to temporarily deploy high-definition cameras to ensure Isolation effect, crowd flow control, etc. This demand requires rapid deployment, high video quality, and short- and long-term use. At this time, 5G high-definition video surveillance takes advantage of simple wireless deployment and large bandwidth.

Life and Entertainment 5G Application Scenarios

This epidemic has verified that 5G’s popular application scenarios will mainly appear in pan-games, pan-videos, and pan-XR (the collective name for VR, AR and MR) And cloud application scenarios, these types of scenarios are both separated and integrated with each other. For example, there is a type of cloud game in pan-game, and pan-video is inseparable from the cloud and XR.

5G application scenarios for remote working and education

5G remote working scenarios:

Now there are many tools for remote working, including phone, email, OA and WeChat, etc. But what suddenly became popular this year was "high-definition video conferencing". "HD video conferencing" not only plays a very important role in the collaborative work process of fighting the epidemic, but also plays an even more important role in remote working of governments and enterprises and institutions. In normal times, scenarios that may be solved through telephone conferences or WeChat group video chats now require professional-level high-definition video conferences, because files and pictures must be shared and discussed by multiple parties. In the work scenario of fighting the epidemic, many video conferences are required to be held at any time. Participants are distributed in and outside the isolation area, some are in government offices, and some are in temporary hospitals. At this time, 5G’s large bandwidth and Rapid deployment plays a huge role again.

5G distance education scenario:

Distance education has a long history, from the earliest one-way distance education on television to the current two-way interactive distance education on broadband. The fight against the epidemic requires colleges and universities, primary schools, junior high schools and high schools to postpone the start of school. Beijing Foreign Studies University has even postponed the return to school until May 1. The Ministry of Education has fully launched a cloud classroom distance education plan. Although distance education does not rely on 5G, 5G can make distance education a "qualitative" leap. Although most students may have fiber-optic broadband at home, 5G wireless coverage comes in handy in places where there is no fiber-optic broadband coverage.

The above listed are only some typical scenarios. More scenarios where 5G can contribute to the fight against the epidemic are waiting for us to discover, create and realize.

The "Internet" is blowing warmly, and it is the right time to develop 5G networks and big data. The COVID-19 epidemic will inevitably have a major impact on the economy and society, but the impact of the epidemic is short-term and generally controllable. For example, since the outbreak of the epidemic, the daily order volume of fresh food e-commerce has increased significantly, and new business formats such as online shopping, online ordering, and online entertainment are very active. Turning the "epidemic" into an opportunity, 5G networks and big data are accelerating their integration into thousands of industries.
