China: It is now the country with the largest 5G network in the world!

Ο trade war between the US and China It holds up well, but the latter proves that in some areas of technology it clearly has the upper hand.

ΣIn particular, the country's three largest state-owned telecommunications providers made history by activating it largest 5G network in the world. With more than 1 billion active connections, China is clearly the largest mobile market in the world and the development of 5G networks, mainly with the help of Huawei, gives it the biggest advantage of any other country right now. In fact, the need to operate 5G networks is imperative, because with so many active connections providers are forced to serve the huge demand for data.

This is the first time in the history of mobile technology that China has taken on the role of leader, however, we must emphasize that it does not intend to commercially launch 5G networks by 2020. So, in time, it will be behind the US, the United Kingdom and South Korea, but once it decides to launch it commercially, it will immediately gain a competitive edge over all.

There is currently 5G network coverage in some areas of major cities (eg Beijing, Shenzhen and Shanghai), and by the end of 2019 at least 50.000 hubs will be set up across the country. Also note that all 3 of China's state-owned providers share the same infrastructure in order to save money and time.

Analysts estimate that China accelerated the development of 5G networks due to the US attitude towards Huawei and ZTE. With the launch of such a large 5G network, China aspires to create even greater demand for Chinese companies' technologies and know-how (not that this is something new), but also to become a leader in meeting the global business needs of fields of Artificial Intelligence and edge computing.
