Qualcomm says Taiwan will play an important role in 5G development

  This year, after MWC 2019 and many mobile phone brands joined hands to showcase 5G connected mobile phones, Qualcomm Taiwan President Liu Sitai also earlier directed Qualcomm's current 5G network development in Taiwan, emphasizing that although the scale of Taiwan's hinterland is not large, it can still be used The export of communication technology applications is based on the global market. At the same time, it is expected to enter the 5G network era. Qualcomm also cooperates with Taiwanese partners to promote various 5G networking applications, including automation industry, smart city, and AIOT. The development of the field can bring greater growth benefits.

As for Liu Sitai, there is already close cooperation with Taiwanese telecom operators and terminal equipment manufacturers, and it is intensively tested for 5G networks that are expected to be commercially available in the Taiwan market in 2020, except for base stations and other infrastructure. The device is being put into large-scale testing cooperation, and it is also aimed at system compatibility testing for future upcoming terminal devices and prototype devices (for example, Sony Mobile disclosed that it is working closely with telecom operators), and it is expected to open 5G network in Taiwan in the future. After the service, the 5G network service can be put into operation smoothly.

At the same time, in view of the role of Taiwan in the future of 5G network technology, Liu Sitai believes that from the past Taiwan has always played a pivotal role in the semiconductor industry in the global market, and the future development of 5G network applications will also become an important technology supply chain. Although compared to neighboring South Korea, Japan, or Australia and Europe and the United States, Taiwan does not have a high proportion of economic scale, but it has a high degree of technical capabilities, so it will be able to play an important technology supplier in the 5G network market ecosystem, and through Technology export drives behind hidden profit opportunities.

However, this does not mean that there is no need to develop 5G network services in Taiwan. Liu Sitai takes Indonesia as an example in the Southeast Asian market. In the past, these markets have developed into 4G networks, and they have been promoted and developed by the popularization of high-speed networks. It will also bring greater development opportunities through 5G network applications.

Even though the market believes that 4G network services are sufficient, Liu Sitai believes that the application level of 5G network technology is not limited to features such as high bandwidth and low latency, including features such as processability and encryption security, among which security applications have begun. Large companies (such as Audi) began to deploy enterprise intranet architecture through 5G network technology, and have higher security and high-speed transmission characteristics through 5G network, which serves as a conduit for internal digital content transmission and wireless transmission. The form allows the various devices within the enterprise to be connected, thereby increasing the flexibility of the internal operation of the enterprise.

In response to the development of 5G network technology in the future, Liu Sitai also explained that the laboratory resources established in Taiwan recently will cooperate with Qualcomm's global operation mode to help solve and improve the problems faced by partners through technical experts from various regions. Therefore, the Taiwan region also It will also participate in the future development of network technology. It is expected that Taiwan will actively participate in technology development when it enters the next generation of 6G network technology development.
