How did Intel transform from a chip storage company to a communications company?

The leap from 4G to 5G will mean that the number of personal mobile terminals will explode, and the mobile rate will be greatly improved to meet the online demand of multiple terminals. In the future, 5G should be able to provide users with faster peak rates. If calculated at 10 times the peak rate of 4G cellular networks, the peak rate of 5G networks will reach the order of 10 Gbit/s. Intel recently showed the charm of 5G at MWC2017 and downloaded a 1G video in 10 seconds.

Many people may say that Intel established the dominance of chips in the PC era. In the era of mobile phones, it ended slightly, allowing Qualcomm and MediaTek to occupy most of the market. Why did Intel turn to become a communications company when the 5G era came?

In fact, the answer to this question, as early as 2016 Intel CEO Ke Zaiqi made a detailed answer, he explained Intel's transformation strategy plan, that is, transforming Intel from a PC company to a cloud-driven and billion-dollar The five beliefs of smart, connected computing devices are: Cloud is the most important trend, shaping the future of the smart connected world; connecting with the cloud, allowing many PCs to compute business and the Internet of Things. Become more valuable; storage and programmable solutions such as FPGAs will bring a new level of product to the data center and the Internet of Things; 5G will be a key technology for accessing the cloud and our journey towards an “always connected” world; Moore's Law It will continue to evolve and Intel will continue to lead the way in realizing the economic impact of Moore's Law.

According to the news obtained by Fei Liwang, an interview video on MWC2017, Intel believes that 5G will help Intel become a powerful communications company.

5G and IoT market will be several times larger than traditional markets

In 2017, there will be NB-IoT network deployment. By 2019, 5G will have a comprehensive network deployment. In 2020, 5G standards will be passed, and 5G will create new business opportunities. This is for network operators. And suppliers. Is Intel a communications company? Intel is a chip company, and now it will become a communication company. For our entire industry development, Intel has outstanding performance in the field of PC and chip. It is a storage company. Why should it become a communication company?

The reason is very obvious: chip and computing, storage solves the basic problems of traditional computing devices. In the future, we must connect capabilities together. This is the ability of communication. In the PC era, tens of millions of PCs a year, hundreds of millions of PCs worldwide. The frequency of replacement is relatively low. But based on mobile devices, mobile devices have a global sales volume of 2 billion units a year, 400-500 million units in China, and the market capacity is far beyond PC. To 5G, almost all devices must be connected to the network, such as mobile phones and hands. Rings, glasses, environmental monitoring, smart homes, and various devices can be connected. This market size is N times the size of the original market and is unimaginable. Major equipment companies are entering the field of communications. Many companies will not do communication equipment like Ericsson and Huawei. They will not use Huawei and Xiaomi to make mobile phones. Everyone needs new capabilities in various industry chains, such as Intel. After 5G, more chips are needed, and the chip will have more requirements, such as high-speed, Gigabit-rate chips, and even higher speeds, while also requiring low power consumption and small size. Environmentally tested chip products. These are the foundations for building a network, which requires integrated capabilities and maneuverability. The capabilities of the software are also basic capabilities.

Intel 5G deployment and cooperation progress

Since the announcement of the 5G product and test acceleration program at MWC 2016 last year, Intel has made a lot of preparations for this future revolution in the past year:

1, 5G Innovator Program - Intel teamed up with Ericsson to launch the 5G Innovator Program, which will focus on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) and develop technology application pilots, including VR and AR for emergency drone monitoring and other uses in hazardous environments. And driverless.

2, Nokia 5G Acceleration Lab - Nokia and Intel set up two 5G solution labs to test and accelerate the commercial readiness of new wireless technologies to support the development of 5G services.

3. Interoperability with AT&T's connected devices—Intel and AT&T will jointly promote the rapid availability, certification, and access to IoT devices to meet the expectations of 50 billion devices expected to be available worldwide by 2020.
