Explained: The world's first country to go 5G
全球首个推出商用5G的国家
NEW DELHI: The three top telecom providers in South Korea— SK Telecom, KT, and LG Uplus — began their 5G services at 11 pm local time on Wednesday, earlier than the original schedule for April 5.
新德里:韩国三大电信运营商——SK电熏、KT和LG Uplus——于当地时间周三晚11点开始提供5G服务，比原定的4月5日有所提前。
Speculation that US mobile carrier Verizon might start its 5G services early forced South Korean providers to hastily organise a late-night launch, Yonhap news agency reported. In the event, Verizon began rolling out its 5G services in Chicago and Minneapolis on Wednesday US time, a week ahead of schedule. But according to Yonhap, the South Korean launches came two hours earlier.
据韩联社报道，外界猜测，美国移动运营商Verizon可能较早推出其5G服务，这迫使韩国运营商匆忙组织了一场深夜发布。美国时间周三，Verizon开始在芝加哥和明尼阿波利斯推出5G服务，比原计划提前一周。但据韩联社报道，韩国的推出时间比美国早了两个小时。
5G stands for fifth-generation cellular wireless and is a broadcast transmission protocol devised by the 3rd generation partnership project, a global consortium of telecom groups; it refers to a spectrum of radio frequencies that carriers will use to transmit data. The radio signal transmits information at an extremely high frequency, or 'millimetre wave', which allows for connections significantly better than current 4G networks.
5G代表第五代蜂窝无线网络，是由全球电信集团联盟第三代伙伴计划设计的广播传输协议;它指的是运营商用来传输数据的无线电频率频谱。这种无线电信号以极高的频率传输信息，也就是“毫米波”，比目前的4G网络要快得多。
We're talking of a technology 20 to 100 times faster than the current ones. Sample this- if an HD movie download took 7 minutes on 4G networks (which peak at about 100 megabits per second), on 5G that will take just 6 seconds (at a download speed range of 5-20 gigabits per second)!
其速度比现有网络快20到100倍。举个例子，如果在4G网络上下载一部高清电影需要7分钟(4G网络的峰值为每秒100兆比特)，而在5G网络环境下只需要6秒(下载速度为每秒5-20千兆比特)!
The possibilities are endless. 5G is crucial for the future development of driverless cars, delivery drones, and connected factories. Expect better augmented reality, virtual reality and telemedicine — physicians 'remotely' treating patients whenever and wherever, by using a computer or smartphone. According to the London-based Global System for Mobile Communications, the technology is expected to bring about $565 billion in global economic benefits by 2034.
可能性是无限的。5G对于无人驾驶汽车、送货无人机和物联网的未来发展至关重要。期待更好的增强现实、虚拟现实和远程医疗——医生随时随地使用电脑或智能手机为患者进行“远程”治疗。总部位于伦敦的全球移动通信系统预计，到2034年，这项技术将为全球带来约5650亿美元的经济效益。
As for India, although it is targeting 2020 for a 5G rollout, the country is yet to allocate 5G spectrum to operators even for trials.
至于印度，虽然其目标是在2020年推出5G，但印度甚至还没有向运营商分配5G频谱进行试验。

In India 5G would be a luxury hence govt has not allocated spectrum even for testing. A over hyped 4G will be sold as 5G in India. :)
在印度，5G将是一种奢侈品，印度政府甚至没有为5G测试分配频谱。在印度，过度炒作的4G会被当做5G来推销

Congrats South Korea. In India still a long way to go as even in Mumbai 4G is not available most of the time.
祝贺韩国。印度还有很长的路要走，即使是在孟买，大多数时候连4G都用不上。

It is a fallacy to say that driverless cars, delivery drones require 5G. Which surgeon from abroad is going to do remote robotic surgery for patients in India?
说无人驾驶汽车、送货无人机需要5G，这是一种谬论。哪个国外外科医生会为印度的病人做远程手术?

Humanity is doomed. People are oblivious to the fact that 5G has such massive radiation levels that in Netherlands 150 birds died within a week. The 5G testing has severe deleterious repercussions on the human body. These companies in the fit of rapaciousness have put Profits over People.
人类注定要失败。人们没有注意到5G的辐射水平如此之高，荷兰一周内就有150只鸟死亡。5G测试对人体有影响。这些公司贪婪成性，把利润置于人命之上。

If Modi comes back to power, it is definitely going to happen faster than expected. Already Reliance Jio has made so many ground works and are in talk with many 5G handset manufacturers. Only the past looters and cheaters from the service providers will face a critical situation, as they are already running with heavy loss and not having any money to upgrade !
如果莫迪连任，推出5G肯定会比预期的更快。信实Jio已经做了很多准备工作，并正在与许多5G手机制造商谈判。

Technology should be used with CAUTION. Unforeseen mishaps Likely with driverless cars, drones etc.
应该谨慎使用该技术。像无人驾驶汽车、无人机等，有可能发生意外事故。
