In the 3G and 4G eras, smartphones have become the top platform-level application terminals. In the 5G era, which terminals are likely to be promoted to the platform level?

Candidates have gradually become popular in the 4G era: In addition to constantly upgrading smartphones, smart watches representing wearable devices, and smart speakers with interactive functions, Smart TVs trying to occupy the core of the home entrance, unmanned taxis that started trial operation, drones flying farther away, etc.

Below is a 5G platform-level terminal conjecture sorted out by surging news reporters.


5G CPE

5G CPE is the first 5G terminal to be put on the market after 5G commercial use. The role of CPE is to turn 5G network into WiFi The signal is convenient for computers, mobile phones and other devices to connect to the Internet.

At that time, 5G networks had not been rolled out, 5G mobile phones had not yet been launched, and the emergence of CPE made people feel the high speed of 5G intuitively for the first time.

However, after the launch of CPE, it is a little tepid, and sales have been very low. For China, the Internet environment at home is still to switch from fixed network to WiFi, and buying a CPE of 2000-3000 yuan is not economically cost-effective. Second, 5G network tariffs are not favorable compared to fixed network broadband tariffs.

However, in a country such as the United States, where there is a sparse population, the cost of laying a fixed network is relatively high. With the rollout of 5G networks, the demand for CPE may be relatively large.

Independent telecommunications analyst Fu Liang said in an interview with a surging news reporter that the future depends on operators ’plans to promote CPE packages, if the future fixed network and 5G packages are In the same way, the demand for CPE is still quite large.
