The first edition of the 5G international standard confirmed that manufacturers have gone out to sea for commercial trials.
The development of 5G standards plays a crucial role in shaping the future of communication technology. Beyond traditional connectivity, 5G is particularly significant for the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling smarter and more connected ecosystems. As the standardization process moves forward, commercial trials are now taking center stage, with manufacturers actively exploring global markets.
Recently, China Mobile held its 2017 Global Partner Conference in Guangzhou, where the theme “Heavenging the Future, Zhilian Wanwu†highlighted the growing importance of 5G. The event served as a platform to showcase cutting-edge developments, with 5G once again becoming a central topic of discussion.

There have been notable advancements in 5G application results. China Mobile, together with ZTE and Qualcomm, successfully implemented the world’s first end-to-end 5G new air interface system based on the 3GPP R15 standard. This milestone was demonstrated at the conference, showcasing the system's performance in the 3.5GHz band with a 100MHz bandwidth. The downlink peak speed reached over 1.3Gbps, allowing real-time broadcasting of 16 channels of 4K HD video.
3GPP, the international organization responsible for developing 5G standards, has set the foundation with R15, marking the first official version of the 5G standard. While pre-commercial base stations are already available, terminal prototypes remain large-scale devices simulating mobile user equipment. The term "new air interface" refers to the communication protocol between base stations and user devices. This interoperability marks a major industry milestone, signaling the transition from research to large-scale pre-commercial deployment.
China Mobile has also established a 5G joint innovation center to drive research and development. The center released a report analyzing the potential of mobile networks to support networked drones, offering insights into the future experiences enabled by 5G. In VR applications, China Mobile and its partners launched the world's first cloud-based rendering VR solution using 5G edge network architecture, improving image quality while reducing costs. In robotics, they introduced the first domestically developed IDC machine room inspection robot, equipped with AI technologies like autonomous navigation and intelligent obstacle avoidance, paving the way for fully automated operations in future factories.
Manufacturers are increasingly expanding their global reach. ZTE and Japan Softbank conducted a 5G trial in Tokyo using the 4.5GHz band, a key candidate for Japanese 5G licenses. Softbank plans to launch commercial services around 2020. Meanwhile, Huawei and LG U+ completed a large-scale 5G pre-commercial test in Seoul, demonstrating real-time 5G applications such as drone live streaming and 4K IPTV.
This trend reflects a broader movement, with Chinese companies like Huawei and ZTE collaborating globally with operators such as Softbank, Telefonica, and KT. Analysts suggest that this expansion is not just about market competition but also about China leading the global 5G landscape and setting international standards.
As 5G development shifts toward commercial environments, companies like Ericsson are accelerating their efforts. Ericsson has partnered with 38 operators worldwide, along with 22 industry partners and 45 universities, to promote 5G and IoT innovations. Intel and China Mobile also launched the OTII project, aiming to develop open-standard server solutions for the telecommunications sector.
China is accelerating its global 5G deployment. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has initiated the third phase of 5G technology R&D testing, aiming to achieve commercial readiness by the end of 2018. The third-phase tests focus on product development, verification, and industry collaboration, ensuring the entire supply chain reaches commercial readiness.
With the shift from lab settings to real-world commercial environments, the focus will be on feasibility and practical applications, further opening up the 5G industry chain. This marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of 5G, setting the stage for widespread adoption and transformative use cases across industries.
