Original article
The 5G-enabled hydropower station is one of China Mobile’s 100 key 5G industrial projects across 15 industries. Earlier this year, Zhao Dachun, deputy general manager of China Mobile, said, “Industrial customers demand not only large bandwidth, low latency and large-scale connectivity of 5G, but also call for efficient operations and maintenance and other diversified network capabilities.”
As of September, China Mobile has built more than 350,000 5G base stations. Its 5G services are available in all Chinese cities at prefecture level and above. This has laid a solid foundation for wider industrial applications of 5G.
My opinion
Over past ten years, the technology of internet has been developed rapidly in my life. Not only the speed of internet, but also the function of equipment have been updated frequently. In addition, the topic of 5G has been the most popular one to talk about. I don’t use 5G cellphone now, but a few of my friends have used the 5G phone cards and phones together. Actually, I am not the one who are into chasing for the latest things except you have to change something for a must. I think 5G signal is more faster than previous one ,so it can be attractive for someone to use it. If you usually play games or always upload videos, which is suitable for you. Aside from that, some particular industries also rely on this kind of technology. For me ,I just want to wait for a while to see if it is a really need. Time will tell.

My opinion

Over the past ten years, the technology of the internet has been developed rapidly in my life. Not only the internet speed but also the equipment function have been updated frequently. In addition, 5G has been the most popular topic recently. I don’t use a 5G cellphone now, but a few of my friends have used the 5G phone/SIM cards and phones together. Actually, I am not the one who is into keeping up-to-date with the latest things unless I must change it because it broke. I think the 5G signal is much faster than 4G, so it can be appealing for people who needs fast speeds. If you usually play games or always upload videos, it/the upgrade is suitable for you. Aside from that, some particular industries also rely on this kind of technology. For me, I just want to wait for a while to see if it is really necessary. Time will tell.
