Your old cell phones don't work anymore. Trade them in!

Recently, there was a news that China Mobile canceled its 3G network.

Radio Administration of Fuzhou City, sent a letter to Fuzhou Mobile stating that it agreed to the FuzhouMobile's application to write off TD-SCDMA base stations.

Meaning that China Mobile 3G is starting to retire to make way for 5G to take the throne...

For mobile this practice, the netizen then said.

Never got a signal on the 3G network. Never used it.

3G is a UFO...too mysterious not seen before

There are also gods out for 3G, in fact there is a 3G network, just turn down the power of the 3G base station, you have to be close to have a chance to run into it...

In fact, after 3G is retired, mobile will still retain the 2G network. Some people claiming to work for mobile claim that 2G will not be retired because basic calling functions have to be guaranteed. As long as your cell phone supports 4G, it has no effect whether you retire 3G or not.

But just a reminder folks, using mobile services.Those who are still using a 3G network may want to consider switching, after all, in the age of 4G prevalence, 2G equals no network...

Unicom and Telecom keep pace

Mobile is backing out of 3G and Unicom is backing out of GSM, which is often referred to as 2G.

Unicom is doing well in the 3G era because he got theWCDMA. This network system has one feature: it can access the Internet and also make phone calls.

Even if you cut out the 2G network, Unicom will still be able to make calls on 3G, and the 3G network is still very fast, and the difference in comparison to 4G isn't that big, and even when 4G slips down to 3G, Unicom will still be able to offer not-so-bad internet speeds.

So for most Unicom subscribers, it still doesn't have much of an impact even if they back out of 2G.

As for Telecom it is a tough guy and intends to cut out 2G and 3G all at once.

Thanks to VoLTE, 4G has both calling and internet capabilities. Theoretically.The call quality of VoLTE is to be better than both GSM and WCDMA.

Most importantly.VoLTE calls don't interrupt the 4G network connection, so you can talk on the phone all the way to the Internet and watch anything along the way.

But the biggest problem telecoms face is that 4G coverage isn't that great...so a blanket approach to 2G and 3G will be a test for telecoms.

Does it have a big impact on users?

According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), as of the end of 2018, theThe total number of cell phones in the country reached 1.57 billion, of which the total number of 4G subscribers reached 1.17 billion. In other words, China still has 400 million 2G and 3G users.

Instead of withdrawing from the network, it is actually just a gradual process of slimming down. Taken together, the three major telecom operators are gradually transferring 2G resources to 4G, but each has adopted different strategies depending on the situation:

Unicom retires 2G, retains 3G, 4G, and internet calling capabilities.

Mobile retires 3G, retains 2G and 4G network calling capabilities.

Telecom retires 2G and 3G, retains 4G network and calling capabilities.

Overall, the retirements of the three major carriers have had an impact to some extent, but, again, nowhere near as much as one would think.

Even if it really began to retire, the operator to cut off the entire CDMA will be a long time, nationwide retreat how to say it will take a few years, when the 4G coverage is more mature, 5G have begun.

5G scramble

Next, the three major operators will focus their firepower to seize the 5G market, and strive to officially cover the whole country commercially in 2020.

As for why the development of 5G should retire 2G and 3G from the network?

It is because 2G, 3G, the network occupies some frequency bands, some frequency bands can be said to be a valuable resource, if reuse available in the 4G and 5G network construction, is conducive to improving network quality and network wide-area coverage, in order to make our Internet speed is more stable and more accelerated, this is also an inexcusable practice.

After all, 5G as a representative of our country's technology, how to be a leader, first popularized in their own country ah.

In pre-commercialization, 5G has already wowed people once again.

On March 12, 2019, a 5G new media center in Xicheng District, Beijing, simultaneously connected Beijing Tsinghua Changgeng Hospital affiliated with Tsinghua University and Shenzhen People's Hospital, which is more than 2,200 kilometers away from each other, transmitting high-definition surgical images through a 5G network while realizing theLive MR co-surgery without delay!

Can doctors and patients perform surgery thousands of miles apart?

The answer is: with 5G, of course you can.

The advent of the 5G era has enabled doctors to break the triple limitation of time, space, and quantity, greatly improving efficiency in all aspects, and successfully completing the surgical operation of a critically ill patient with gallbladder problems through remote guidance, making it the first of its kind in the country.

There is much more that 5G can do in the future in the medical field.

The ambulance transmits the patient's vital signs data back to the hospital in real time, and the hospital experts monitor and guide in real time to fight for life on the way to the hospital; at the same time, it also prepares the patient in advance for admission to the hospital for resuscitation, while the vehicle-mounted drones quickly transfer emergency medicines, blood, and samples under the 5G precise navigation. After the patient arrives at the hospital, the emergency team can immediately put into the rescue to fight for the golden time for the patient.

5G is hundreds of times faster than 4G and will create more possibilities for the development of all industries, and it is only a matter of time before it is officially commercialized.

Overall, 2G and 3G decommissioning is something that will have little impact, but rather benefits. Of course, if one lives in a place without 4G coverage, that's a different story... If 5G doesn't do well commercially, the carriers will actually panic even more than we do about which one has poor signal.A "porting number to network" is done, come on, let's have fun!
