我国确定5G网络商用时间表
The fifth generation (5G) of cellular networks may be put into commercial use as early as 2020, according to a regulatory body's roadmap and the business plans of several companies.
根据监管部门的规划和几家企业的经营方案，第5代(5G)蜂窝网络可能最早于2020年投入商用。Insiders from IMT-2020 (5G) proMotion group said second-phase testing will be launched in 2017.
来自IMT-2020(5G)推进组的知情人士称，5G第二阶段测试将于2017年开展。Authoritative insiders also disclosed that 5G's experimental stage will last three years, from 2016 to 2018.
官方知情人士也透露，2016年至2018年，5G测试阶段将持续3年。
The construction of a 5G network will begin in 2019, with a total budget of 500 billion yuan.
2019年将启动5G网络建设，总预算为5000亿元。
Huang Yuhong, deputy head of China Mobile's research institute, said that the three biggest telecom operators in China will cooperate with equipment manufacturers for testing, adding that the first standard for 5G will be announced in 2018.
中国移动研究院副院长黄宇红表示，我国三大电信运营商将与设备制造商合作开展测试，首个5G标准将于2018年公布。Industry analysts believe that the commercialization of a 5G network will not only bolster the telecom industry, but will also drive other emerging sectors, such as big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and more.
业内分析人士认为，5G网络商用不仅将促进电信产业发展，还将促进大数据、云计算、人工智能等其他新兴领域的发展。Currently, 42 domestic companies are working with the 5G Joint Innovation Center, researching the development of Internet of Things, car networking, industrial Internet and other areas.
