Application Fields of 5G Communication System

Application of 5G System in Industrial Field

The integration of the new generation of information and communication technology represented by 5G with the industrial economy provides new ways to achieve digital, networked, and intelligent development for industry and even the whole industry. The application of 5G in the industrial field covers four major industrial links of research and development design, production and manufacturing, operation management, and product services.

The rich and diverse fusion application scenarios of 5G system in the industrial field will bring great potential for the transformation of industrial systems, enabling industrial intelligence and green development. Since the implementation of the "5G + Industrial Internet" project, the application level of the industry has been continuously improved, gradually extending from peripheral links of production to core links such as research and development design, production and manufacturing, quality inspection, fault operation and maintenance, logistics transportation, and safety management. It took the lead in developing in five industries, such as electronic equipment manufacturing, equipment manufacturing, steel, mining, and power, and cultivated typical application scenarios such as collaborative R&D design, remote equipment operation, equipment collaborative operation, flexible production and manufacturing, on-site assembly assistance, machine vision inspection, equipment fault diagnosis, smart logistics in the plant area, unmanned intelligent inspection, and on-site production monitoring which helped enterprises reduce costs, improve quality and safety production.

Application of 5G System in the Energy Field

In the electric power field, energy and power production include five links of power generation, transmission, substation, distribution, and utilization. The application of 5G system in the power field mainly focuses on transmission, substation, distribution, and utilization, and the application scenarios mainly cover collection and monitoring business and real-time control business, including unmanned aerial vehicle inspection of transmission lines, substation robot inspection, electric energy quality monitoring, distribution automation, distribution network differential protection, distributed energy control, advanced metering, precise load control, electric vehicle charging piles, etc. At present, the mobile inspection business based on the large bandwidth characteristics of 5G is more mature and can be replicated and promoted. Through the application of new operation and maintenance business such as unmanned aerial vehicle inspection and robot inspection, monitoring, operation, and security are promoted towards intelligent, visible, and high-definition upgrading, which greatly improves the inspection efficiency of transmission lines and substations. Control businesses such as distribution network differential protection and distribution automation are currently in the stage of exploration and verification. In the future, with the gradual maturity of network security architecture, terminal modules, and other issues, control businesses will enter a period of rapid development, improving the accuracy of fault location and processing efficiency in the distribution link.

Application of 5G System in the Medical Field

5G empowers the existing smart medical service system to improve and enhance remote medical care, emergency rescue, and other service capabilities and management efficiency, as well as spurring new application scenarios such as 5G+ remote ultrasound examination and intensive care.

Applications such as 5G+ ultra-high-definition remote consultation, remote image diagnosis, mobile medical care, etc. not only stack the 5G network capabilities on the existing smart medical service system but also greatly enhance the data transmission speed and service guarantee capability of remote consultation, medical imaging, electronic medical records, and others. During the period of combating the COVID-19 epidemic, the General Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) collaborated with related units to quickly build a 5G remote medical system, providing remote ultra-high-definition video multi-disciplinary consultation, remote reading, bedside remote consultation, remote rounds, and other applications to support the treatment of critical patients with COVID-19 in Hubei, effectively alleviating the shortage of medical resources on the frontline of epidemic prevention.

Applications such as 5G+ emergency rescue establish a 5G system emergency rescue network that quickly connects ambulance personnel, ambulances, emergency command centers, and hospitals. The vital signs data, disease imaging, emergency disease records, etc. of patients are transmitted to hospitals in milliseconds without loss to help doctors formulate correct guidance and rescue plans in advance, realizing the goal of patients being admitted to hospitals as soon as they are on the ambulance.
