Li Yue, President of China Mobile: 4G overall development history and 5G ideas

From December 18th to 21st, the 4th China Mobile Global Partner Conference was held in Guangzhou Poly Exhibition Hall. Li Yue, President of China Mobile, delivered a speech at the meeting, and made a brief review and report on the overall development of 4G and the ideas of China Mobile in 5G.

Li Yue said, “2016 is our VoLTE commercial year, and 4G international roaming. Although we are only doing TD-LTE now, 4G international roaming is close to 140 countries. At the end of this year, there are 4G places around the world. There is 4G roaming from China Mobile."

At the meeting, Li Yue expressed his views on the nature of 5G, the new experience brought by 5G, and what China Mobile should do on 5G. Li Yue said, "What we are focusing on this year is still the 5G technology experiment. Based on the 5G technology experiment, we will carry out a large-scale 5G field experiment next year. We hope to promote the 5G trial commercial in 2018. For experimentation and commercial trials, our big goal is to achieve nationwide 5G commercial use by 2020 in accordance with the country's overall goal."

At the same time, in the aspect of 5G and Internet of Everything, the relevant reports on the opening and cooperation of various platforms promoted by China Mobile have been made.

The following is the full text of Li Yue’s speech:

I am very grateful to Mr. Wang Peng for the long-term presiding work for our China Mobile partners. I have made great efforts. Every step of our growth is inseparable from the help and support of our partners. I probably figured it out, we arrived. So far this is the fourth partner conference. If we add two developer conferences in 2011 and 2012, we are already in the sixth session. We feel more confident when we run more and more. Our partners have long-term help, care and support for China Mobile. The more we feel the opportunity of this industry, the more I feel that every step of our growth has benefited from everyone’s concern and benefit from everyone’s support. For our love, our China Mobile Internet benefits from the hard work and cooperation of everyone.

Just now Chairman Shang Bing comprehensively puts China Mobile's next development strategy and informs us of some of our development ideas. I will use this time to briefly introduce what we will do next in three aspects.

First, I will make an overall review of the overall development of our 4G.

China Mobile's 4G, we have only been doing it for three years. From 2014, 2015, 2016, three years, we have built the world's largest 4G network, and built more than 100,000 carrier-aggregated 4G base stations. The world's most downloaded 4G system in many hotspots, our business experience has also promoted the automatic opening of VoLTE in more than 300 cities. I remember here we have said that 2016 is our VoLTE commercial year, while 4G international roaming, although we are only doing TD-LTE, but 4G international roaming is close to 140 countries, the world has 4G's place has China Mobile's 4G roaming.

Let's take a look at our customers. The development of the customers benefits from the continuous enrichment of the terminal society. Up to now, there are more than 2,000 4G terminals to serve our customers. The choice of customers in the terminal is very strong, our various The brand of mobile phones has more than 600 brands. 4G has become the network with the most choices of customers. Our customer experience is also a good experience. For example, we have 93% of mobile phones, which is 93% of mobile phones sold online now. Both support VoLTE, and 4G terminal sales have reached a very high level. In 2016, nearly 400 million terminals were sold through our system. 4G has also created a miracle of very large customer development.

Just now Chairman Shang has already introduced that our 4G customers have exceeded 500 million. Our current 4G customers account for more than 30% of the global operators' 4G customers, indicating that the shortest time used in China has passed Europe and America. In the 5-6 years of 4G development, 4G users have the fastest download speed, and 4G users consume more than 1G per month, indicating that our development potential in this area is huge.

Let's talk about our application, the maturity of 4G promotes the arrival of the mobile Internet era. 4G really builds a very favorable bridge in the development of the entire wireless broadband. I just communicated with Lei, and the daily transaction volume of Xiaomi Mall is over 80%. It is done with a mobile phone. Why is so much business volume done by mobile phone? Why did our main e-commerce in the past few years rely on PCs? The main reason is that after 4G and 4G development, the time for customers to access the Internet has been significantly shortened, and the speed of customers' online access has obviously increased. Users are always on the Internet. Because they are always online, we have a lot of life, and people in all aspects of life are even more away. Do not open the phone. I believe that in the process of speaking, there are still many friends who are playing mobile phones. Mobile phones have become an integral part of our lives, so we say that 4G is driving the arrival of the mobile Internet era. We say that mobile changes life, and it really plays a role in 4G.

4G has brought great convenience to people and promoted a new system of e-commerce, real-time interaction, and live video broadcasting. What will happen next? The most popular word currently is 5G. Below I will report on China Mobile's ideas and ideas on 5G.

5G will change the rules of many of our industry developments. What is 5G? I will introduce it to you from three aspects.

The first is the network. 5G is a new system specially built for high-speed Internet access. First of all, it has a new technology to solve high-density networking, a new system of high-frequency communication, and some new network and network technologies, making 5G closer to people and closer to things.

Second, 5G is based on the product of the new IP era, which will promote a revolution in carrier networks and technologies.

The 5G service is also a new service based on the open platform. 5G not only creates opportunities for all industries and information integration, but also promotes the overall transformation and reform of operators. What are the benefits of 5G? Here is a page to introduce the new technologies and experiences that 5G brings to us.

The first is fast, 5G is fast, and the access delay is only one millisecond. Everyone asks, what is the access delay of 4G? 20 milliseconds, what is the access delay of 3G? 100-150 milliseconds. Some people say that the Spring Festival's shake and grab the red envelope, the probability of 4G grabbing the red envelope is 95%. The second one is more extensive, and the 5G application is mainly applied to all walks of life. 3G solves the communication. Everyone understands that 3G can make calls and add Internet access. 4G solves the problem of Internet access, so 4G can only access the Internet and cannot make calls. Later, we developed a new called VoLTE, which is to carry voice in 4G. On, so you can see that 4G is designed for the Internet, 5G is why design? 5G is designed for the Internet of Everything. The Internet of Everything includes people and people, people and things, and things and things, so 5G will bring us a new system.

We talk about 4G changing lives and 5G changing society. Why is 5G changing society? In fact, everyone can see from the opportunity of 5G, 5G has such a fast delay, has a higher rate, has a better business experience, which makes our various industries further inseparable from mobile communication, making mobile communication more Deeply influence and change all walks of life, including social operations and social management. The development of 5G can truly realize the deep integration of informationization and industrialization, and truly realize informationization, especially the deep integration of mobile informationization and all walks of life in society.

What are we going to do on 5G? First of all, we must promote the maturity of infrastructure. Therefore, all the friends of China Mobile and the industry have jointly promoted the maturity of the 5G standard and jointly promoted 5G to achieve globally unified and consistent global standards in many standard planning areas, if 4G realizes that one machine is in the world and it is solved by integration. 5G is the real one in hand.

Second, we began to incubate various vertical applications. We jointly promote the deep application of 5G in various industries, so as to realize the new scene of our future Internet of Everything.

The third is that we build an open ecology. We hope that the future 5G is not China Mobile is doing 5G, nor is the operator doing 5G. What we hope is that the world is doing 5G. To this end, we have established an organization called the Joint Innovation Center. This joint innovation center is distributed in Chengdu, Hangzhou and Beijing. The Joint Innovation Center promotes our business development through cooperation with various industry sectors. After the joint innovation center, we have promoted a general plan for our recent 5G development. We will continue to focus on 5G technology experiments this year. Based on the 5G technology experiment, we will launch a large-scale 5G field experiment next year. We hope to promote 5G trial commercial, scale experiment and trial commercial in 2018. Our big goal is to achieve nationwide 5G commercial use by 2020 in accordance with the country's overall goal.

In addition to the interconnection with the Internet of Everything, 5G is a new challenge for operators. It is the ability to open up with the whole world. I will report to you the third aspect, which is the opening of multiple platforms that we will promote. Cooperation.

Operators have many capabilities. One of our biggest capabilities is the network. China Mobile has its own network in both southeast and northwest of China. At the highest Everest, there are also China Mobile's 4G base stations. The network capability is the best capability of China Mobile. Many friends told me that no matter where we go to any place in the world, the first one knows that there is China Mobile, because you will receive our local greeting messages, which shows that the carrier network capability is very important to us. One ability, we must work hard to make our network capabilities higher and more intelligent, so we call intelligent pipeline, we must work hard to make this intelligent pipeline more and more intelligent, so that this intelligent pipeline is getting better and better, let This intelligent pipeline is getting lower and lower costs.

The second is that our operator has another capability that is channel capability. I call it simply a new channel. Our channel ability is actually reflected in two aspects. One is the channel that we can see and feel now, such as the business hall, such as the electronic channel, etc., which are all visible and tangible. Channels, in fact, we have a greater potential, that is, invisible channels, invisible channels are 860 million customer mobile phones, how can these channel capabilities integrate it and transform it into a capability to serve the whole society, in fact This is a huge potential for us, we call it a new channel.

The third we have a lot of new platforms. For new channels, we have at least 4 platforms that can be opened to the world, so we have launched four platforms for this partner conference. I will briefly introduce these four platforms. The first one is the communication capability open platform. We build various communication systems, including SMS, voice, location capabilities, etc., to form a new platform. We call it the communication capability platform. These capabilities may be invoked by all walks of life if needed, using our open API. We have tried this platform in Zhejiang. In a short time, there are thousands of customers using this platform. This platform provides a very good help for the development of the whole society. We hope to use this platform to jointly communicate communication capabilities. Tools to promote the development of all walks of life. The second platform is the unified authentication platform. 860 million customers, in fact, is 860 million phone numbers, and the 860 million phone numbers are the best and most unique authentication system. We have created a phone number-based authentication system. The advantage of this system is that you don't have to enter a password. You don't have to enter a username, as long as you click on an app, we know who you are. Everyone understands that there are two bottlenecks in developing a business. The first bottleneck is to activate APP, and the second bottleneck is authentication. After you want to activate the app, many people give up in the authentication process. Even if the information on the website page goes to the authentication link, many people give up. We are solving this pain point in the industry, using the phone number for authentication, without re-entering the user name and Password, the customer can complete the business with one click. This is the simplest thing. This is also an ability that almost all Internet companies hope. Today we open this capability to everyone, and hope that the unified authentication platform can help each one. The new business of Internet companies helps all customers to use them more conveniently.

We also have a period of use in the past. We have made the unified certification into six different authentication methods. In less than half a year of external development, the number of unified authentications per day has exceeded 100 million.

The third platform is a new platform for the advancement of all things. We call the OenNET platform, which is a platform for the opening of the Internet of Things. How many markets does the Internet of Things have? I have discussed it with you many times. The market for mobile communication in China is 1.3 billion people, because communication is for people. If one person drives ten devices around, for example, you have a car, you have a refrigerator, you have TV, you have a lot of home gateways, you have a computer, and there are 10 points around you that need to be connected. This is a very simple point, including the wearable device we use, if a person has 10 connection points in China There will be 13 billion connections. We believe that China will have 10 billion connections waiting for us to connect in the next decade. It is entirely possible to start this market. So Chairman Shang Bing just announced the strategy for 2020 on behalf of China Mobile. We must start this market. The main driving force for our doubling of connectivity in the next five years is the Internet of Everything.

Advancing the Internet of Everything We can't do it ourselves. We must rely on everyone to collect firewood. So we have promoted the OenNET platform. The OenNET platform puts the protocol standards of the Internet of Things that we know almost all over the world, and puts the basic standards of the Internet of Things. In the above, open the API to the world, anyone who wants to do the Internet of Things system will put your experiment online, it can help you generate new products under different standards, you can see any of your products. Can it be used in Europe, can the US use it, and can be used in different environments in China? If you can get through this platform, your products will be able to go to the market. This platform is our platform to help all partners to succeed together. We actually support social innovation and a concrete move to promote the Internet of Everything.

Very interesting is that this platform says that more than 5 million devices have been connected. On this platform, nearly 30,000 developers have been condensed, and more than 10,000 applications have been born on this platform. We hope to open this platform to the world this year and open it to all partners to further provide conditions for the innovation of the Internet of Things, reduce costs and improve efficiency.

The last platform is the platform of the smart home gateway. A smart home is one thing that every family wants, and the core of a smart home is a gateway. Many of our partners here have their own gateways. For example, Xiaomi has Xiaomi's gateway, Huawei has Huawei's gateway, and the intelligent gateway platform wants to connect our gateways together. We hope that our gateway will also be open to the world. We hope that any application around the home and smart home will not be blocked by the terminals of various manufacturers, and it can become the result of sharing by all the families in the whole society. We hope that the smart home gateway can make a contribution to the construction of our smart home, so we also To release the gateway of the smart home, I hope that everyone can have more innovation around the family, and hope that the wisdom of all of us can bring happiness to every family.

We must further innovate our cooperation model. We used to focus on open cooperation. In the future, we will increase our investment in foreign investment, fund integration, and new work and capabilities in innovation and well-being. In short, we will not cooperate with all parties. With the constraints of various conditions and conditions, we will work hard to create more updated cooperation models and continuously improve our cooperation system. We must strive to make China Mobile the easiest company to cooperate.

In the new era of the Internet of Everything, China Mobile is eager to receive continued and long-term help and support from our partners. We are determined to do our business well, do our industry well, and make our customer service more. Ok, we are also confident that we can have good cooperation with you, cooperate and win-win, and jointly create a new era of the Internet of Everything.

I have talked so much today, and I am wrong if you say something wrong. Thank you!
