The fourth major operator is here!The 5G number of China Radio and Television is as soon as possible, and the expected tariffs in the industry will be more favorable

On June 23, a "radio and television 5G" logo had been hung at the entrance of a China Guangdi Way Offline Business Hall in Dongcheng District, Beijing, and "China Radio and Television, 5G is here" can be seen everywhere in the store.

The storefront was converted from the original business hall of Gehua Cable, and it seemed that it was not much different from other operators' business halls. The employees in the store said that the store was just renovated on June 6 this year -the staff in the store were also employees of Gehua Cable.

In Beijing, Gehua Cable has been responsible for the construction and management of cable radio and television networks in the city. Now it is part of the joint operation cooperation cooperation cooperation with China Cantonese Electric Mobile Beijing Branch, which is also part of China Radio and Television's "National One Network" integration.

On June 6, 2019, China Radio and Television obtained a 5G commercial license issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, becoming the fourth 5G communication operator in China. After three years of construction, China Radio and Television will take a key step.

On June 24, the official WeChat signal of China Radio and Television has been released for 3 days -China Radio and Television will enjoy 5G mountains and rivers with you. The Economic Observer is informed that China Radio and Television will hold a launching ceremony of China Radio and Television 5G network service on June 27. This information has not been confirmed by China Radio and Television.

The clerk of the above -mentioned radio and television business hall said that the team is currently busy with the startup work. The information department is upgrading the background, including the computer -end page of China Radio and Television, the business hall app, etc. The customer service department is actively training, and the entire team is fast.

More such a radio and television business hall is appearing across the country, and they seem to be the same as the business halls of the other three operators.

The question comes, what changes will the entry of radio and television bring?

Will the tuition of radio and television be lower?

China Radio and Television is the main body of the integration and development of cable TV networks nationwide. It is established and managed by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. It is currently integrating the "National One Network" to form a group management model.

Compared with the other three major operators, the newly entered China Radio and Television advantage is that it has the 700MHz frequency band, and this frequency band is also known as the "gold frequency band".

Strategyanalytics wireless analyst Yang Guang said that according to the theory of radio communication, compared with other frequency bands, the advantages of this frequency band are large to build an online single site, but users can experience the peak rate in the 700MHz frequency band to be lower than 2.6GHz or or 3.5GHz frequency band.

On January 26, 2021, China Radio and Television and China Mobile reached a cooperation to jointly build a 700MHz wireless access network. In addition, China Radio and Television also rented China Mobile's 2.6GHz network to form a complete 5G network service. Yang Guang said that it can be said that users can receive signals from radio and television, but they actually use China Mobile's network.

Yang Guang said that the construction of 5G networks will affect the network capacity, but the number of users in the initial radio and television will not be too large, and the base of the user may face the problem of expansion.

As the fourth telecommunications operator in China, it is the time to move the communication and the 5G penetration rate in mobile communication. What kind of 5G will China Radio and Television bring across the border to the market.

At present, 5G packages have not been announced in the stores in the Beijing Radio and Television Business Office. The employees of the business hall said that it is still confidential. The number will be announced in the store on the day.

Ma Jihua, a communication expert, told reporters that the prediction of China's radio and television tariffs will be more favorable, because the joint construction network with China Mobile will make the operating costs of China Radio and Television lower, and it can also better form a "high -quality low -cost" market image.

However, Yang Guang believes that the concessions can only be maintained at a certain range. On the one hand, the joint agreement between China Radio and Television and China Mobile may include an agreement in the scope of pricing; on the other hand, the price of too low package will also form a vicious competition in the market.

Yang Guang said that China Radio and Television controls the media and content resources of the TV station, combining it with 5G services, which can bring a new experience to some users.

Miss the best time?

In the business hall of the North Second Ring Road, the first batch of radio and television 5G mobile phones has been displayed in the cabinet.

The brands of mobile phones in the business hall are dominated by glory and Xiaomi, both of which are not flagship machines, and the price is between 1,000 yuan and 1500 yuan. This ranking is different from the business halls of the other three operators. Yang Guang's analysis, using low -end mobile phones as contract machines to bundle phone bills, is a common promotional method for operators.

The reporter learned from the business hall that more terminals are adapted to the mobile network of China Radio and Television. Most brands will complete adaptation from June-August this year. Apple's iPhoneSX series and iPhone11-13 series are also planned. In addition, the plan also includes brands such as Xiaomi, vivo, OPPO, ZTE, Honor, Motorola, Lenovo, Sony and other brands.

Yang Guang said that the number of China Radio and Television has been released for three years after getting a license. Compared with the industry's expectations, it is still much later. It can be said that the best time to enter the communication has not been used to enter the tide of 4G to 5G from 2020 to 5G. Essence

China ’s 5G construction has passed. According to financial reports, the 5G penetration rate of China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom has exceeded 50%. 5G mobile phone users have 428 million households. With the decline of the demographic dividend, the entire mobile communication industry has also become saturated.

The advantage of China Radio and Television is that it occupies the basis of cable TV users. According to data in 2021 of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, the number of actual users in the country's cable TV is 204 million, which is far less than the number of mobile communication users. In contrast, the three operators have gone through the period of 3G and 4G mobile communication dividends. They are stronger than China Radio and Television in cash flow, network construction, and talent construction. Yang Guang said that China Radio and Television has entered the period when the mobile communication market tends to be saturated, and the volume and ability are weaker than the other three opponents. Three operators' price reduction promotion.

Ma Jihua said that at present, the increase in the mobile communications market is very small. China Radio and Television number will be diverted by some operators. It may be the number of operators, so that some users will give up the original operator number. It may also be just traffic diversion. Some users of the original operator used the time.

Yang Guang said that globally, mobile communication is already a typical Red Sea market. In terms of business, it requires huge investment in the early stage, and the return cycle is relatively long. In terms of cross -border mobile communications, there are not many cases in the world to learn from. Cross -border people are more comprehensive giants, such as Japan Rakuten and India Shincheng Industrial Corporation. Instead, it is the pursuit of the synergy effect with the Internet, content, and payment business.
