6/27/2019, uParag Khanna, ongumeluleki wamasu, muva nje ube nencwadi edayise kakhulu, ethi, “The Future is Asia,” esohlwini oluthengiswa kakhulu lwezitolo ezinkulu zezincwadi eSingapore. Okungafakazelwa ukuthi emqhudelwaneni womhlaba wonke wokuthunyelwa kwe-5G, kungenzeka ukuthi i-Asia yahola. I-Singapore Communications Show yalo nyaka nayo ikufakazele lokhu.
I-SK Telecom yaseSouth Korea ikhombise izethameli ukuthi yiziphi izinhlelo zokusebenza ezithokozisayo zenkathi ye-5G ezingasilethela zona. Esokuqala yibhaluni yomoya oshisayo yakwa-SK Telecom i-SKyline. Ngetheminali ye-5G, ikhamera ekule bhaluni ivumela umsebenzisi ukuthi abuke lokho afuna ukukubona noma nini. Okwesibili, isevisi ye-SK Telecom ivumela umsebenzisi ukuthi asebenzise ukuphela. Hamba kuzo zonke izici zegumbi lehhotela. Esikhathini se-5G, okushoda kakhulu uhlelo lokubulala. Ukuthi lezi zinhlelo zokusebenza ezimbili zingaheha abasebenzisi kufanelekile ukulinda ukubona.
Ngaphezu kweNingizimu Korea, ehola ukuthunyelwa kwe-5G, opharetha abaningi e-Asia bethula ukuthunyelwa kwe-5G ngenkuthalo. Umsingathi waseSingapore umemezele ngenyanga edlule ukuthi izoqala ukuthumela i-5G ngonyaka ozayo. Uhulumeni uzocabangela ukumbozwa kanye nezidingo zomkhawulokudonsa ophezulu ngenkathi eletha i-spectrum ye-low-frequency kanye ne-high-frequency spectrum. I-Star Telecom, ekhangisayo, izogxila kumasevisi afana ne-inthanethi Yezinto nedatha enkulu. URichard Tan, umphathi jikelele we-TPG, opharetha wesine ohlanganisiwe eSingapore, usanda kutshela izethameli emhlanganweni ukuthi inkathi ye-5G ihlukile kuneyedlule. Uhulumeni akasenzi nje kuphela imali ngezindali ze-spectrum, kodwa ugxile kakhulu esikhathini esizayo. Kodwa waveza ukuthi ukuthunyelwa kwe-antenna ye-5G kungaphezulu, indlela yokwenza ukwamukelwa komphakathi kungase kube inselele enkulu.
Kwezinye izingxenye ze-Asia, ukwakhiwa kwe-5G nakho kusezingeni eliphezulu. Engqungqutheleni ye-SAMENA Middle East Operator exhaswe ngabakwaHuawei ngo-Ephreli kulo nyaka, abamele opharetha abaningi bazwakalise intshisekelo ekwakhiweni kwe-5G. Isibonelo, u-Etisalat e-United Arab Emirates waba ngu-opharetha wokuqala eMpumalanga Ephakathi ukwethula izinsizakalo ze-5G, futhi bobabili i-ZTE ne-Oppo bahlinzeka ngomakhalekhukhwini. I-CTO ka-Etisalat ibiza i-5G ubuchwepheshe obushintsha umdlalo oyikusasa lokuxhumana. ISaudi Telecom iphinde yavula ifoni yokuqala ye-5G eMiddle East. Laba opharetha bathi inzuzo yokuqala yokwakhiwa kwe-5G ibalulekile ekuthuthukisweni okulandelayo, futhi ukusekelwa kukahulumeni kungase kudingekile. Kuthiwa uHuawei ubejwayele ukuvakashela lo mbukiso wezokuxhumana. Ezimweni ezikhethekile zalo nyaka, nakuba uHuawei wayengekho, uvele esiteji sombukiso waseSingapore ngezinye iziteshi. Iphephabhuku le-telecom e-United Arab Emirates libike ukuthi kusukela manje, iHuawei inamakhasimende enethiwekhi angama-35 5G emhlabeni jikelele kanye neziteshi eziyisisekelo ezingama-45,000.
Isikhulu se-SAMENA u-Bocar A.BA uthe engxoxweni ethi i-5G yenze uguquko lwesine lwezimboni lwaba ngokoqobo. Bese kuthi i-Asia ibe umthombo wenguquko yesine yezimboni.
