Qualcomm, the U.S. multinational semiconductor and telecommunications equipment company, presented its 5G-based auto-pilot conceptional car at the MWC 2018, building on its earlier version of an automotive platform that supports infotainment, navigation, Wi-Fi and 4G network connection, according to the handout the company provided at the event.
"The 5G auto-pilot vehicle is still a concept for us at the moment, but we've already developed every apparatus and device for launching 5G connection on a real car," Andy Zeng, a 5G technical engineer at Qualcomm, told Xinhua.
Smart city is another vision whose realization will largely depend on the ubiquitous access to 5G networks in the future. U.S. tech giant Intel is pouring investment into this area, constructing infrastructure with 5G digital access for future smart cities that it envisages to be a system of V2X, meaning "way to everything," the company's marketing manager Paul Long said.
On the other side of the Atlantic, though, Europe has felt the clock ticking and is struggling to catch up.
According to a recent study by the London-based GSM Association, a trade body representing the interests of European mobile network operators, 5G connections in Europe will reach 214 million by 2025, accounting for 31 percent of total mobile connections. By that point, it said, around 75 percent of Europe's population will be covered by 5G networks.
Gunnar Hoekmark, a member of the European Parliament from Sweden, said it is time for Europe to act if it is serious about being the global center for 5G development.
