CNN News: 5G網(wǎng)絡(luò)

Forty years after 1G or first generation wireless technology arrived, 5G is finally upon us, or is it? There’s a lot of excitement about how faster wireless speeds could change our lives but even though 5G technology is now available in a few American cities, one analyst says don’t hold your breath. It could take as long as eight years before its available in as many places as 4G right now is. CNN’s Samantha Murphy Kelly tried to take 5G for a spin.

在1G或第一代無(wú)線技術(shù)問(wèn)世四十年后，5G終于到來(lái)了，對(duì)吧?人們對(duì)更快的無(wú)線網(wǎng)絡(luò)速度將如何改變我們的生活充滿了興奮，盡管5G技術(shù)已經(jīng)在美國(guó)的一些城市可用，但一位分析人士表示，但仍不實(shí)用。它可能需要長(zhǎng)達(dá)8年的時(shí)間才能在目前4G網(wǎng)絡(luò)應(yīng)用許多地方使用。CNN的薩曼莎·墨菲·凱利試圖嘗試5G網(wǎng)絡(luò)。

SAMANTHA MURPHY KELLY, CNN BUSINESS EDITOR: So this is an actual 5G cell site location here in the East village. You can see that the 5G site is sort of a small rectangle on top of a longer vertical rectangle and there are other 4G sites around it. The 5G T-Mobile site allows sort of this high band millimeter wave to kind of cast a spectrum down and you’re able to access these higher speeds if you’re in the vicinity around it.

CNN商業(yè)編輯薩曼莎•墨菲•凱利: 這是紐約東村5G手機(jī)的實(shí)際位置。你可以看到，5G網(wǎng)站是一個(gè)小矩形在一個(gè)較長(zhǎng)的垂直矩形上，周?chē)€有其他4G網(wǎng)站。5G T-Mobile網(wǎng)站允許這種高頻段的毫米波將頻譜降下來(lái)，如果你在它附近，就能獲得更快的速度。

So what is 5G anyway? It’s the next generation or G of cellular service. 2G was more focused on text messaging. 3G was sort of the boom of apps. 4G introduced faster speed so it could handle Uber or FaceTime. Now 5G is supposed to be 10 times as fast and it will be able to support self driving cars, robotic surgeries, even toothbrushes that can tell you when you’re sick.

5G到底是什么?它是下一代移動(dòng)電話服務(wù)。2G更專注于發(fā)短信。3G技術(shù)促進(jìn)了手機(jī)應(yīng)用。4G引入了更快的速度，它可以處理Uber或FaceTime?，F(xiàn)在5G的速度應(yīng)該是現(xiàn)在4G網(wǎng)絡(luò)的10倍，它將能夠支持自動(dòng)駕駛汽車(chē)、機(jī)器人手術(shù)，甚至牙刷可以告訴你何時(shí)生病的。

T-Mobile’s 5G network is only in a few cities for now but it has an aggressive plan to roll out to the rest of the country by next year. AT&T, CNN’s parent company is more focused on helping businesses and Verizon is all about speed. But I quickly noticed staying on its 5G network was a challenge.

T-Mobile的5G網(wǎng)絡(luò)目前只在幾個(gè)城市部署，但該公司有一個(gè)雄心勃勃的計(jì)劃，計(jì)劃在明年之前推廣到中國(guó)其他地區(qū)。CNN的母公司美國(guó)電話電報(bào)公司(AT&T)更專注于幫助企業(yè)，而Verizon則專注于速度。但我很快注意到，繼續(xù)使用它的5G網(wǎng)絡(luò)是一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)。

Sprint had the most seamless coverage giving me a glimpse to what life with 5G can really look like but it also had slower speeds than some of the other providers. You can see how close we are to the 5G cell site right there in the building above the Starbucks, but I can’t even get on the network. I’m just only a couple 100 feet away. Oh wait, OK. I got it. We did a test on T-Mobile’s 4G and 5G connections in the park.

Sprint擁有最全面的覆蓋，讓我得以一窺5G的真實(shí)生活，但它的速度也比其他一些提供商慢。你可以看到我們離5G基站有多近,它就在星巴克樓上，但我甚至連網(wǎng)絡(luò)都上不了。我就在幾百英尺外。哦,等一下,好了。我連上了。我們?cè)诠珗@里測(cè)試了T-Mobile的4G和5G連接。

The 5G network was significantly faster but it didn’t quite hit the high speeds I saw on other networks. So I’m getting really great 5G service right here at the Starbucks and the 5G cell site is right above me but let’s see what happens if I go inside. And there we go, just - - it just dropped just now. Some people might think that their already using 5G.

5G網(wǎng)絡(luò)的速度要快得多，但還沒(méi)有達(dá)到我在其他網(wǎng)絡(luò)上看到的那種高速。所以我在星巴克得到了很好的5G服務(wù)，5G手機(jī)網(wǎng)站就在我的正上方，但是讓我們看看如果我進(jìn)去會(huì)發(fā)生什么。好了，有信號(hào)了。有些人可能認(rèn)為他們已經(jīng)在使用5G了。

On my phone actually it says 5GE which stands for 5G Evolution. You’re using a much faster network but you’re not actually using 5G. That’s actually because you need one of these phones. This is a Samsung 5G phone. It costs $1,300. There are other options on the market too.

我的手機(jī)上寫(xiě)的是5GE，代表5G發(fā)展。你正在使用一個(gè)更快的網(wǎng)絡(luò)，但實(shí)際上你并沒(méi)有使用5G。那是因?yàn)槟阈枰徊窟@樣的手機(jī)。這是三星的5G手機(jī)。它花費(fèi)1300美元。市場(chǎng)上還有其他選擇。
