Top Ten Expectations for the Communications World in 2011: TD Makes Full Layout for 4G

100 billion yuan

The three major operators remain the main forces in the communications world. China Unicom will make WiFi free in the country for the first time in March. I believe that the future of wireless cities will be even stronger. The operator ’s 100 billion investment will mainly promote 3G + WiFi to fully cover the footprint of a user. Multimedia terminals will be indispensable in operators' customized terminals, which is also a market of 100 billion yuan.

user

3G users are actually the core tasks of operators. To achieve the target of 150 million 3G users in 2011 from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, more than 100 million users need to be developed. On average, three operators will add 3 million new 3G users each month. To this end, not only high-end smartphones such as iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry have to be developed, but also thousands of smartphones supported by Huawei and ZTE need to be the protagonists this year.

4G

China has realized the dream of 3G independent intellectual property rights, and TD will go all out to 4G this year, and this year ITU will officially set several major standards for 4G. The direction of TD-LTE-A is imperative. China Mobile will organize TD-LTE scale technology trials in six cities including Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Xiamen this year. This is a key move for China to deploy 4G.

Triple play

The task of the triple play has also come to a critical period this year. IPTV, mobile TV and Internet TV need to be jointly promoted by telecommunications and radio and television. Radio and television must basically complete the upgrade and transformation of the digitalization and two-way cable TV network to build the next generation of radio and television grids. , Integrate decentralized forces and form a national network company. They are strong and weak, but they are weaker in the face of Internet innovation.

#Grid Communication # This year, the power grid will also become a major player in network services. With power line technology and power grid resources, it will deploy fiber backbone networks throughout the country, compete for home gateways in communities, provide broadband services and impact further voice and even network value-added services. In the market, its smart meters will also become a powerful stepping stone for the dominance of the Internet of Things. Controlling the meters can control electrical appliances. The power of the smart grid may be truly exerted this year.

new concept

Whether the Internet of Things and cloud computing can usher in a real big outbreak this year, it is still difficult to see specific signals. Both services need to accumulate for a period of time. The future is bright and the road may still be tortuous. In the industry chain of cloud computing and the Internet, Internet players have not yet exerted their strength. Operators are only piloting, and software vendors also see it as a supplement. Venture capital is also building confidence.

terminal

In the smart terminal market, perhaps Apple's lead is not so big this year, and other manufacturers can catch up with it a little bit. Facing the unique situation of iPad, Lenovo, Dell and Motorola will launch powerful competing products this year. The iPad2 and iPhone5 will be available this year. iPhone competitors will grow further, and hope their catch-up pace will accelerate again this year.

application

A large number of smart terminals will also stimulate the development of the mobile Internet this year, and the mobile Internet will further integrate this year instead of becoming an independent kingdom. Social networking and Weibo have made mobile Internet and traditional Internet inseparable. Of course, special applications and content provision for the mobile Internet will still emerge in large numbers, such as clients of various media platforms for iPad, and services based on LBS geographic information positioning.

#Mobile payment # The mobile payment network began to bloom in full bloom this year. UnionPay and other financial institutions, the three major telecom operators, and a large number of third-party payments will truly open up this year, including the standard of chips in mobile payment, and the mobile payment by third parties. The licenses will have a finality this year. A large number of users will be used to transferring and paying with mobile phones. Banking financial services will face new changes.

Equipment supplier transformation

This year's internationalization of TMT companies also has a good show. In the communications equipment market, after Motorola's annual spin-off, international players have been highly concentrated. Can Huawei successfully challenge Ericsson's position as the global leader? How can Huawei and ZTE enter the United States? The market is all suspense.
