Distinguished guests and industry colleagues, good afternoon! It is a great pleasure to participate in the China Radio Conference to discuss the development trends and trends of radio technology and industry, and to share some of the work that Qualcomm and its partners have done to jointly promote technological progress and industry innovation.
At present, more than 210 operators around the world have deployed 5G commercial networks. According to market forecasts, from 2020 to 2025, the global sales volume of 5G mobile phones is expected to exceed 5 billion. At the same time, 5G applications have gone far beyond smartphones, and have been applied in many vertical fields, such as Internet of Vehicles, industrial manufacturing, energy development, smart agriculture, smart cities, and so on. 5G will play an active role in thousands of industries. It is predicted that by 2035, 5G will generate more than $13 trillion in economic output worldwide. China’s 5G commercial use has been in use for three years, and it has delivered impressive results in terms of 5G networks, terminals, and applications, laying a solid foundation for accelerating the improvement of mobile experience and promoting digital transformation in vertical industries.
Spectrum is the key to promoting 5G evolution and achieving successful 5G deployment. Different from previous generations of mobile communication technologies, 5G covers a variety of spectrums from the beginning of design, including licensed spectrum, shared spectrum and license-exempt spectrum. Judging from the current global spectrum planning situation, the use of 5G spectrum is significantly diversified, including the cooperation and complementarity between low- and medium-frequency bands and high-frequency 5G millimeter waves. High speed, lower latency. Fully developing and utilizing various spectrums to maximize efficiency and benefits can fully release the potential of 5G and realize the full vision of 5G. 
From 1G to 5G, standards have played the most important role in the 40-year development process. Globally standardized technologies are enabling the rapid growth of 5G and the broader success of mobile technology. Mobile technology would not have achieved the scale and impact it has today without uniform standards in different regions. Competing standards will lead to interoperability issues, increase equipment costs for operators and consumers, and complicate global market expansion. The successful deployment of 5G has verified that it is a very correct choice to continue to focus on global standards across regions and even the entire ecosystem. 5G is the 5G of the world; and insisting on openness has allowed 5G to show a better development prospect from the very beginning.
With the simultaneous development of 5G, there is also Wi-Fi technology. 5G and Wi-Fi have their own strengths and complement each other, and jointly build an extreme network environment for multi-scenario applications.
Wi-Fi technology based on license-exempt spectrum provides a powerful complement to cellular technology. Wi-Fi is mainly oriented to indoor use cases and supports local broadband network connections; it is applied to man-machine communication and device communication, and supports fixed terminal and mobile terminal connections. 
Since the promulgation of the first-generation standard in 1997, every three to six years, Wi-Fi technology will evolve to the next generation, and bring a great breakthrough in performance. Its maximum throughput has increased from the initial 2Mbps to today’s The rate of more than 30Gbps brought by Wi-Fi 7. The expansion of available spectrum has been steadily promoting the innovation of Wi-Fi technology, providing more abundant spectrum resources, higher communication efficiency, stronger performance, greater throughput and lower latency.
As the new generation of information technology is being integrated with computing, edge terminals, and the cloud at an accelerated rate, it supports the constant connection between terminals and the cloud, and promotes the migration of intelligence from the cloud to the edge of the network. The vast opportunities for the intelligent interconnection of all things are constantly expanding. Important development trends have also emerged in many industries, such as 5G-oriented network expansion for enterprises, integration of mobile technology and PCs, large-scale deployment of AI at the edge, integration of physical and virtual spaces, and large-scale assisted driving. With the acceleration of digital transformation in all walks of life, the demand for leading technologies will further expand.
