The next revolution in mobile technology looks set to be led by China.
下一次移动技术革新看起来要由中国主导了。
5G, the fifth generation of mobile network, doesn't yet exist but aims to provide faster data speeds and more bandwidth to carry ever-growing levels of web traffic.
第五代通移动网络5G目前还不存在，但是其目标是提供更快的数据速度和更多的带宽，以满足不断增长的网络流量水平。
Analysts at CCS Insight predict the technology will be in place by 2020 and said in a report Wednesday that there will be more than one billion users of 5G by 2023, with more than half based in China.
英国移动咨询公司CCS Insight分析师预测5G技术会在2020年之前就位，他们还在星期三的一份报告中表示到2023年将会有10亿5G用户，其中超过一半在中国。
"China will dominate 5G thanks to its political ambition to lead technology development, the inexorable rise of local manufacturer Huawei and the breakneck speed at which consumers have upgraded to 4G connections," said Marina Koytcheva, VP Forecasting at CCS Insight.
CCS Insight预测副总裁玛丽娜说：“由于有主导技术发展的政治抱负、中国本土厂商华为势不可挡的成长和消费者升级到4G网络惊人速度，中国将会主导5G”

CCS Insight said 5G will take off faster than any other previous mobile technology with the United States, South Korea, and Japan all battling to launch the first commercial network.
CCS Insight表示5G的发展将会比之前任何其他的移动技术都快，之前的技术应用时，美国、韩国、日本都抢着要成为第一个商用网络。
Exact technology specifications for 5G have yet to be agreed internationally and there are still uncertainties about the technology. These include how and where network operators will deploy vast numbers of new base stations, the lack of clear business case for operators, and consumers' willingness to upgrade their smartphones, CCS Insight said.
5G技术参数还没有得到国际一致认同，该技术仍然有一些不确定性。这些不确定性包括网络运营商如何以及在哪里部署大量的新基站，运营商缺乏清晰的商业案例，消费者升级的意愿也不明确，CCS Insight表示。
In Europe, market fragmentation, the availability of spectrum and the influence of regulators bring additional challenges.
在欧洲，市场碎片化，可用频段不足和监管机构的影响都带来了更多的挑战。
But several technology firms are trying to show progress in the 5G. Chipset manufacturer, Qualcomm, claimed this week that it had demonstrated the first working 5G data connection on a mobile device.
但是有几个技术公司正在尝试展现5G的进步。芯片组厂商高通本周声称其已经用移动设备展示了第一个工作中的5G数据连接
The speed generated in the test would allow users to download data at around 1,000 Mbps. One estimate suggested this would allow users to download a 2 hour HD film in around 12 seconds.
测试中产生的速度可以让用户以1000MB每秒下载数据。一项评估表明，这会让用户可以在大约12秒内下载一部2小时的高清电影
Qualcomm said the demonstration used their Snapdragon X50 NR modem chipset over a 28GHz millimetre wave spectrum band.
高通表示，展示所使用的是他们的骁龙X50 NR型调制调解芯片，拥有超过28GHz毫米光谱波段。
The 28 GHz millimetre wave spectrum band has been described as problematic because the radio signal at this frequency reportedly deteriorates if data is transmitted over more than a few kilometres.
28GHz毫米光谱波段一直被认为有很多问题，因为据报道，如果在几公里之外的距离传输数据，这个频段的无线信号就会恶化。
The technology could also be important for technologies like driverless cars.
另外，5G对于有些技术来说很重要，比如无人驾驶。

Serious question, what are the differences between 4g and 5g? And what’s does G stand for?
严肃的问题，4G和5G有什么区别？G代表什么？
G stands for Generation. 5 G is supposed to provide much higher data rates and number of connected devices compared to 4 G. 10 Gigabits per second max data rate instead of 1, less than 1 ms latency compared to 70 ms, and 20 times the number of simultaneously connected users from a hundred or so to more than a thousand.
G表示代。相对于4G，5G据说可以提供更高的数据传输速度以及更多的设备连接数量。每秒最大传输速度不再是1G，而是10G，网络延迟时间不再是70毫秒，而是低于1毫秒，同时连接用户数提升了20倍，从大约100名到超过1000名用户。
That’s pretty good for China, I’m still waiting for decent 4G coverage in the UK
这对中国来说是大好事，我还在等着英国有像样的4G网络覆盖。
I'm still waiting for 3G in my part of the UK. Countryside villages (despite a decent population and new housing being built here) have been getting screwed over massively and people so often turn a blind eye to it. I've switched between providers and none offer me more than 2 bars of E in one elevated spot in the village.
EDIT: Autocorrct almost screwed me over as much as a number of services providers have.
我在英国还在等着3G网络。乡村地区（尽管这里有一定数量的人口并且建造了新房子）大部分网络一直很糟糕，人们经常无视这一点。我使用了不同的运营商，没有一个能提供超过2格的E网信号，我还是站在村里地势较高的地方。
自动校正几乎把我惹毛了，就像那般运营商一样。
And here I thought only my country had that bad coverage
我还以为只有我的国家网络覆盖不好呢。
It's corporate greed. The US is suppose to have Nationwide fiber optics, but the ISPs took all the money and pocketed it instead of doing anything.
这是公司的贪婪。美国本该有全国范围的光纤，但是运营商收钱进了腰包，什么也没干。
They didn't just pocket it. They used it to hire lobbyists to fight net neutrality so they can charge us more for doing nothing. Rather than take the capitalistic approach of making the service better to attract customers, they just want people to have less shitty options that cost more. Lobbyism is playing a major part in stagnating innovation since it's just a more efficient use of money to lobby for favorable legislation than to actually improve the good or service.
他们不止是收钱进腰包。他们把这些钱用来雇佣游说团体攻击网络中立，这样他们就可以收我们更多钱，而不用干事。他们不是用资本主义的竞争来提升服务吸引顾客，只是想让人们花更多钱获得更少的选择。游说团体是让创新停滞的主要原因，因为花钱游说以促成对他们有利的立法比提升自己或改善服务更有效。
I get unlimited 4g with a hotspot from 4gcommunuty.org for about $16 a month
我从4gcommunuty.org搞了一个无限流量的4G路由器，大概16美元一个月。
Don’t know where you’re at, but I’ve lived in LA, Denver, Austin, and Houston and I’ve got internet for at least 100 mbps for about $40 a month.
我不知道你在哪，但是我曾在拉斯维加斯、丹佛、奥斯汀和休士顿住过，我用的网络至少100MB每秒，40美元一个月。
I am waiting for some good coverage for LTE for Canada.
我在等着加拿大有更好的LTE覆盖。
I'm waiting for decent 3G in most of the UK, coverage is very inconsistent across all networks. Unless you're in London of course, because only important people live there...
我在等着英国大部分地区有像样的3G网络，所有网络的的覆盖都非常不稳定。当然，除非你在伦敦，因为那里住着重要人物.....
Whats the point of high speed internet when there are data caps?
既然有流量限制，那么快的网络速度有什么用？
Not sure about where you live, but I know here in the US all 4 major carriers have unlimited options now. I used around 55Gb last month!
不知道你住在哪，但是我知道在美国所有的4个运营商现在都有无限流量套餐了。我上个月用了55GB左右。
I used to have T-Mobile One Plus or whatever that allowed 4G tethering. I used 500Gb of data in one month. The slowest speed I ever saw was 20Mb/s. I was in a pretty rural area where I'm suspecting there wasn't many T-Mobile customers, but I was pretty damn happy with this service while I needed it.
我以前用了德国电信公司1+套餐还是啥的，允许4G网络共享。我一个月用了500Gb流量。我所遇到的最低速度20Mb每秒，当时是在一个非常偏的乡下地区，我估计那里的德国电信公司用户不多，我当时非常高兴，在我需要的时候能享受那样的服务。
Motherfucker, we barely have 3G here in Greece, and they talk about 5G...
操，我在希腊几乎没有3G信号，而他们在谈论5G....
In China...lucky to get reliable 4G, and then there is that whole other thing with Chinese Internet.
在中国.....能收到可靠的4G信号算你走运，而中国互联网又完全是另一加事了。
Where I live in Dalian, you can get 4G pretty much everywhere... Have yet to see 5G though.
在我住的大连，几乎到处都能收到4G信号....但是还没见过5G
In Wuhan 4G is everywhere but 3G in America is faster.
在武汉，4G到处有，但是还没有美国的3G快。
I don't find that to be the case here in Dalian. Webpages load instantly, people play Hearthstone and other online games on the bus without a hitch, big images can be sent through wechat almost instantly. Not sure what else you could want in terms of speed.
Unlimited data plans would be nice, though. I've found my data plan to be more and more lacking the more time goes on.
我觉得大连的4G没那么慢。网页瞬间打开，在公共汽车上玩《炉石传说》和其他网络游戏都很顺畅，大图可以通过微信几乎是瞬间发送。我不知道你对速度还有什么要求。但是，有不限流量套餐就好了。我发现我的数据套餐越来越来不够用了。
He/she might be checking pages outside of China, which would be excruciatingly slow due to the Great Firewall.
他/她可能是在打开中国以外的网站，那就会非常慢，因为有防火长城。
Back over 10 years ago I got great 3G reception even in the parts of the Great Wall that tourists don't go. I got 3G when I went hiking to the top of a mountain where there was nothing around except for small towns and temples. If I were to go to similar places in Canada there would be NO reception.
lol in Canada you are liable to lose connection if you drive even 1 hour away from cities.
10年前我游长城的时候，即使是在游客不去的区域，都能收到很好的3G信号。我爬到一座山的山顶都有3G信号，周边除了几个小镇和庙宇什么都没有。如果我在加拿大去类似的地方，根本就不会收到信号。
哈哈，在加拿大，如果你往城市以外开一个小时，你就可能会没信号。
My girlfriend was getting 4G in zhangjiajie using t-mobile. She was getting 4G on a moving train in China. I have no idea what you are talking about.
我女朋友在张家界用德国电信公司卡都能收到4G信号。在中国，她在移动的火车上都能收到4G信号。我不明白你在说什么。
4g even on highway and subway in Beijing and Shenzhen. Much better than San Francisco
就算是在北京和深圳的高速公路和地铁里都有4G信号。比旧金山好多了。
