Italy plans to invest in a super-fast Internet with a speed of 1 gigabyte to provide it to all people by 2026. Artwork: jedsundwall.com Italy plans to expand its tax relief plan to quickly bring superfast broadband to buildings. The move comes as the country struggles to close the gap in digital development with the rest of Europe. The European Union’s (EU) third-largest economy now ranks second from the bottom out of the bloc’s 27 member states in terms of Internet usage. According to the latest EU data, about 17% of Italians have never used the web and only 13% of Italian households sign up for a super-fast broadband connection with a speed of at least 100 megabytes. Italy’s new government, led by former European Central Bank chief Mario Draghi, plans to spend more than 8 billion euros ($9.76 billion) from EU support funds on broadband, mobile networks. fifth generation (5G) and satellite technology and want a super-fast Internet connection at 1 gigabyte made available to all Italians by 2026. With this goal in mind, the Italian government is considering measures such as deploying fiber optic cables or exempting existing tax rates for residents when renovating the telecommunications network for their homes. This measure allows people to be partially exempted from the current 110% tax rate when renovating and upgrading telecommunications networks to help houses “become smarter”, thereby enhancing energy savings. quantity./.

2G network will be “wiped out” by Korea Previously, in July last year, SK Telecom officially stopped providing 2G network service, while another Korean mobile operator, KT Telecom, stopped providing 2G network service since 2012. due to the rapid development of advanced mobile network generations and the significant decrease in the number of 2G network users. 2G mobile service started operating in Korea in 1996 based on the world’s first commercial code-shared multiple access network built by SK Telecom. The number of 2G subscribers nationwide surpassed 20 million in 2006 but began to decline after the country commercialized 3G and 4G networks in 2003 and 2011, respectively. It is known that by the end of March 2021, the number of 5G mobile network subscribers in Korea has reached 14.48 million, accounting for 20% of the total 71.1 million mobile subscribers, according to data from the Ministry of Information Technology. trust this country.

WhatsApp will block users who do not accept the new terms after May 15. Photo: WhatsApp After May 15, people who bypass WhatsApp’s new privacy rules will result in that account being restricted from accessing the app and eventually not being able to view the list of chats and calls. voice or video. After a few weeks, that user will be blocked from all resources including sending messages, but the account has not been removed from the system. Within 120 days of receiving the notification and the user stops logging in, that account will be deleted, all data will still be available if the user syncs with Messenger. WhatsApp updated its new policy earlier this year, all users were informed that the service would share data with other Facebook companies. Many users just want their data shared as little as possible, as some reports suggest that WhatsApp is collecting and sharing data related to location, IP address, phone model, operating system, etc. Your operating system, browser, mobile network, ISP, or even information about how you’re texting, calling, groups you’re in, status, profile picture, or the last time the user was online. To use the application, users must accept the new WhatsApp terms. However, the 27 European countries will not be affected by this new policy thanks to a privacy law known as GDPA and users will not have their personal data shared with another 3rd party.

Jiancao Hou, senior analyst for mobile network infrastructure and 5G network at ABI Research said: “X Reality (XR) is a combination of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR), which is a promising solution for technology. 6G to create a mixed virtual and real environment, by enabling real-time or non-real-time human-machine communication.” 6G is expected to be commercialized from 2028 The network’s self-organizing and self-healing capabilities to support self-driving cars, drones, and pervasive networks are also critical to reducing network deployment time and costs, the analyst adds. and provide greater mobile coverage. In the 2030s, 6G could be the key driver for realizing universal connectivity with a wide range of devices/sensors for use in diverse communication environments.” Since 2018, Finland’s University of Oulu has validated theoretical studies and provided early 6G prototypes in the mobile industry. Many other countries, including China, South Korea, the European Union and the United States have also launched projects and programs to shape the 6G framework and key business focus for this new technology. The standardization department and authorities, such as the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), have also shown particular interest in supporting studies and potential 6G use cases. “Processing complexity and power consumption of infrastructure hardware and devices are key factors that can limit the progress of advanced radio technology. Dynamic spectrum sharing and computing resource allocation as well as highly efficient noise reduction algorithm designs are also key to providing guaranteed network service and user experience. With the advent of technologies such as big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and open source, the issue of network security and privacy of Users will become more and more important and will be well addressed by 6G technology,” said Mr. Jiancao Hou. Regarding the commercialization of 6G, the rotating chairman of Chinese telecommunications equipment supplier Huawei, Eric Xu, said that 6G technology is expected to hit the market around 2030. Mr. Eric Xu said that Huawei is currently working to determine the key specifications of 6G technology, adding that the company may release a 6G white paper soon. “We are working with other players in the mobile industry to define what 6G really is. Maybe in the near future we will roll out our 6G white paper. We want to discuss with businesses and consumers what 6G will look like. Driven by our vision and the possible definition of 6G, we are also working on basic science and cutting-edge technologies, aiming to realize the 6G we define together.” Besides, Mr. Xu also noted that the future development of 6G technology will depend on the potential use cases that need the support of this technology. Last month, the German government said it planned to provide up to 700 million euros ($852 million) in funding for research into 6G technologies by 2025. Phan Van Hoa (according to Rcrwireless)

5G networks will play a leading role in China’s mobile economy in 2020. On April 19, China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology achieved its first achievements in the process of building the world’s largest 5G system. Target 600,000 5G base stations this year By the end of February, China had built a total of 792,000 5G base stations, with the number of mobile terminals connected to the network reaching 260 million. The ministry also estimated that 5G mobile phone shipments in China will account for 80% of total shipments in the second half of this year. China’s mobile network speed ranks fourth among 139 countries and regions, an official who is the Vice Minister of Industry and Information Technology of China said, accompanied by quoting data from a metrology organization. international. China aims to build more than 600,000 5G transmitters by 2021. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will shift its focus from “coverage and dissemination” of 5G networks to “improving speed and quality”. China also plans to build a “dual gigabit” network infrastructure that covers urban areas and towns where conditions are met for three years, and promotes the construction and deep coverage of the network. 5G on demand in an orderly manner, the ministry said. 5G creates enormous direct economic production value 5G network creates a driving force for many other industries and fields to develop together. According to the whitepaper on 5G development and the socio-economic impact of technology released by the China Academy of Information and Communication Technologies, the 5G industry created enormous direct economic value during the year. 2020. According to the Chinese white paper, by 2020, the 5G network directly leads to an economic production value of 810.9 billion yuan (about 125 billion USD). The white paper stated that the industry directly generated 189.7 billion yuan in economic value added (EVA) and indirectly generated 2.1 trillion yuan in total production value for the year. 2020. 5G also indirectly brought in about 760.6 billion yuan of EVA last year. “Of the more than 800 billion yuan, half is generated from mobile phone terminals, while about 200 billion yuan is invested in building the Internet,” said Duong Kiet, Owner Chinese telecom company China Mobile, said at a forum of the Uncle Ngao Asia Forum Annual Meeting. Meanwhile, Mr. Ho Hau Con, Vice Chairman of Hoa Vi Technology Corporation, China, said many of these industries have actively promoted 5G application, including healthcare and manufacturing.

In addition to a number of corporations such as Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics of South Korea and Huawei of China, most recently, Apple (the US technology corporation) also announced to recruit engineers to participate in research and development. to develop wireless technology next generation 5G. According to current research directions, the theoretical speed of 6G network will be one Tb / s, about 100 times higher than the theoretical speed of the 5G network (10 Gb / s). The new technology will also have broad coverage and be more energy efficient than the previous generation. Most importantly, 6G hopes to solve the limitations of current 5G networks. Specifically, even though it is considered as an Internet of Things (IoT) network, 5G still has a long way to go to achieve universal universality due to its limited ability to transmit signals at a height of many thousand meters. ground or deep below the ground or seabed. Meanwhile, 6G is research-oriented to meet both intelligent connectivity, deep connection, heterogeneous connection and everywhere. On the other hand, although 5G network has helped people make good use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology to optimize, distribute resources and process data, the forecast 6G network can do better by making AI becomes intelligent with the processing speed close to the human brain. 6G will integrate the new physical, digital, and services worlds to deliver stricter network performance metrics (KPIs) than 5G. However, the development of 6G networks is still just beginning and the end result will depend on speed of deployment and consensus on the technologies to deliver the ultimate standard. Experts say that the next 10 years will be a period for research and 6G will start to be commercialized from 2030. In the process of deploying previous generations of mobile networks such as 2G, 3G or 4G, Vietnam often lags behind the world. As for 5G networks, we are now starting to perform tests with the expectation of entering the first groups of countries to deploy the technology. But according to experts, in fact, Vietnam is still quite far away from the world in terms of research capacity and deployment methods in the telecommunications sector. Therefore, even though all countries have the same opportunity in terms of time to lead the research and deployment of 6G networks, not all countries have enough potential in science, technology as well as finance. join the race for core technology of 6G right now. Instead of racing to research core technologies, we should take advantage of other existing strengths to catch this wave, such as: Focusing on research and production of terminals for 6G; researching in-depth in the control and optimization of the 6G network system; research on AI technology for management system, data processing in 6G network system; blockchain security research (blockchain) … to solve the safety problem in the new network system. This may be a medium and viable market for Vietnam in the future.

Accordingly, 5G users will be able to use another carrier’s network in places where their service provider does not have coverage. The Ministry of Science and ICT said telecom carriers will test network sharing systems before the end of the year and aim to fully phased in by 2024. Remote areas selected to provide 5G network sharing are sparsely populated, with a population density of 92 people / km2, while areas that do not share 5G networks have a population density of 3,490. person / km2. The move to share 5G networks comes as South Korea is racing to establish 5G coverage nationwide, with network equipment currently installed in major cities. In July 2020, the three major South Korean carriers pledged to invest up to 25,700 billion won (23.02 billion USD) to upgrade the network infrastructure by 2020. As of February 2021, South Korea has 13.66 million 5G subscribers, accounting for about 19% of the country’s total mobile network subscribers. South Korea was the first country in the world to commercialize 5G networks in April 2019.
