Accompanied by the daily use of 5G mobile handsets and the coverage of 5G cellular networks in every country, 5G high-level performance in industry and enjoyable amusement applications are also gradually gaining popularity.
Typical scenarios in smart logistics and warehouses are where forklift readers equipped with 5G modules can access 5G private or public networks under the 5G Smart Factory concept. The transportation sector will replace 4G terminals with 5G devices such as MiFi or CPE inside vehicles and subway trains. The drones in different kinds of using with high-level data transmission like video movie or real-time monitoring would be necessary to change from 4G wireless signal to 5G coverage in technical configuration. Autonomous robots for industrial use and robotic dogs for amusement will require 5G access capability to public operator networks for quick response and command from APP and management platform.
Technically, there are two types of solutions to match this requirement, namely 5G modules or 5G Mi-Fi/CPE integrated inside mobile devices.
5G modules integrated with device-specific MCU are the leading solution to most industrial requirements in terms of fast development and reasonable cost. Now vendors of IoT module factories based on traditional 4G technology have been shifting to the 5G level, also using Qualcomm and MTK chipset platforms commercially. The Chinese chipset from UNISOC V510 platform has also been widely used in the Asia market.
Another type of 5G application entering the industry is that 5G MiFi & CPE are being installed in mobile devices to enable 5G stable access and large throughput.
With 5G Wifi5/ Wifi6 MiFi based on high battery capacity of more than 5000mAh standby and possible DC power in 5G CPE, such 5G industrial connectivity is more adopted by field clients with high level of compatibility.
Top-tier operators such as Orange are working on plans to integrate 5G MiFi into their robotic dogs in some special scenarios to get 5G performance control and performance.
The FMC (Fixed Mobile Convergence) trends pushed by Tier 1 operators globally is expending fast from the Europe and North America market to the Middle East and Asian market. Telecom service providers in Singapore, Thailand, China, Australia and Saudi Arabia are offering high-speed indoor coverage to their residential customers if FTTH is not available in a particular area. The FMC solution combined with the Mesh Satellite terminal will ensure adequate Wi-Fi coverage in every room of the home for Cellular in addition to the FTTR solution provided by Fiber.
In mobile applications inside cars, buses, vehicles and outdoor rides, 5G MiFi has been embraced by travel agents, car rental companies, movie studios and logistics runners to easily place in the interior of moving vehicles for group status and Internet capability communication to their consumers.
Various 5G terminals such as MiFi and CPE will be mostly used in different domains for personal and group activities. Based on the excellent capabilities of the MTK T700 and T900 chipset with very low power consumption, Kingtop 5G products will share real value and good high-speed Internet surfing to different types of clients and partners.
