5、S$810 billion of economic value to the APAC economy in 2022 and that figure is set to rise to almost US$1 trillion by the end of the decade1.Those impressive headline numbers mask a multitude of ways in which mobile networks are making a major difference to individuals daily lives and businesses eve

6、ryday operations.As this report shows,the rollout of 5G is amplifying that impact even further.The diversity of the case studies featured in this paper highlights the exceptional versatility of 5G,while the numerous examples of efficiency gains and innovations underline the great value being created

7、 by this highly sophisticated cellular technology.Yet we are only scratching the surface of what is possible.In 2022,5G accounted for just 4%of mobile connections in the APAC region2.That figure is set to rise tenfold by 2030,when 5G will account for 41%of mobile connections in APAC.As this report s

8、hows,the widespread adoption of 5G will have a profound impact on productivity and prosperity,and,by extension,the regions economy.Indeed,we anticipate 5G will add more than US$133 billion to the APAC economy in 20303.Those gains will be driven in part by the rollout of cloud-native standalone 5G ne

9、tworks,which are delivering many of the socio-economic advances detailed in this report.Of course,these benefits wont be evenly spread.APACs connectivity ecosystem is highly nuanced and consists of both pioneering mobile innovators and emerging markets.If we are to fully realise the digitally transf

10、ormation mobile connectivity can bring,we need to establish a flexible,forward-looking regulatory and policy regime to support mobile network deployment and operations.This includes greater efforts to close the digital divide,particularly for women and vulnerable populations.Policymakers also need t

11、o ensure 5G has access to sufficient mid-band and mmWave spectrum.The GSMAs APAC 5G Industry Community is helping the ecosystem to deliver on this promise and realise the full potential of 5G networks to benefit society.I hope the compelling case studies in this report will inspire stakeholders from

12、 across the business and policy communities to maximise the potential of 5G to benefit all of APACs people.How 5G is Transforming APACTen case studies highlighting the utility and versatility of 5G technologiesP.11,2,3 Source:GSMA Mobile Economy Asia Pacific 2023 ReportEXECUTIVE SUMMARYAs 5G matures

13、 and becomes more versatile,it is transforming many different processes across the economy.With the rollout of private 5G networks and standalone 5G,introducing cloud-native core networks,operators are able to provide organisations with the ultra-reliable connectivity required to automate critical o

14、perations.At the same time,edge computing is being used to reduce latency and support the real-time usage of image recognition and other AI-based applications,while the deployment of 5G mmWave networks is delivering a step-change in capacity and throughput in demanding locations,such as airports and

15、 sports stadiums.Bringing capacity to crowded placesAs this report highlights,5G is proving to be invaluable in bringing reliable connectivity to places where a large number of people gather,such as transportation hubs.At Hong Kong International Airport,China Mobile Hong Kong and Huawei have impleme

16、nted a private 5G network,consisting of mid-band indoor radio units,mid-band and mmWave outdoor units,and high-power radio units.This configuration is designed to ensure seamless indoor and outdoor coverage throughout the airport,enhancing operations and providing a better experience for travellers.

17、The network is being used to support the deployment of autonomous vehicles,robotics,and a wide range of IoT applications.Similarly,at Bangkoks Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal Station,a private 5G network,supported by edge compute,is delivering multiple benefits to hundreds of thousands of rail p

18、assengers daily.The network is enhancing operational efficiency,safety and security,and the overall passenger experience.For example,a 5G-based security and safety system captures video images from more than 120 cameras to proactively detect emergencies,incidents,and security threats,leading to prom

19、pt responses and improved passenger and staff safety.Private 5G networks can also support heavy industry.Telekom Malaysia has deployed a private 5G network for oil and gas giant PETRONAS,with guaranteed 99.9%network availability,well ahead of the 95%best effort delivery of public networks.The increa

20、sed network reliability and stability is vital for critical operations,such as remote live monitoring of operations via high-definition video.At the same time,the 5G network is delivering the broad coverage required to facilitate transmission over large stretches of water,enabling PETRONAS to connec

21、t offshore operations.The implementation marks a key step towards enabling unmanned operations in the oil and gas sector,and other potentially hazardous workplaces.In Singapore,5G has demonstrated it is capable of reliably delivering smooth mobile video streaming at major international sporting even

22、ts attended by hundreds of thousands of people.By partitioning its 5G standalone network,Singtel was able to grant specific customers priority access to radio resources,ensuring a smooth mobile streaming experience in crowded areas.Crucially,the radio resource partitioning is sufficiently dynamic to

23、 ensure that capacity isnt being wasted at any point in time.As well as connecting vast numbers of people at major sports events,Singtel is illustrating how a standalone 5G network can support multiple logical networks with different configurations to suit the traffic characteristics of different ap

24、plications.Making production more efficient and saferManufacturing is another sector where reliability is absolutely crucial downtime means lost production and revenues.In Thailand,auto parts maker Somboon Advance Technology is using 5G to enable a robot to monitor two camshaft production lines conc

25、urrently,improving productivity by 1.25 times,as well as enhancing quality.5G is also enabling the company to use unmanned automated guided vehicles(AGVs)to transport goods and materials across the factory floor,reducing the risk of accidents and associated costs.The materials delivered to the wareh

26、ouse by AGVs are now stored automatically by a 5G-enabled system.Somboon says these 5G-enabled solutions have boosted the factorys earnings by 60%,while reducing operational costs by 30%.How 5G is Transforming APACTen case studies highlighting the utility and versatility of 5G technologiesP.2Indeed,

27、5G is being deployed in factories across Asia.LG Uplus,a mobile network operator in South Korea,is seeing strong demand for its 5G-enabled smart factory solution,which is now being used in more than 250 domestic and overseas plants.To help manufacturers employ 5G to enhance precision and flexibility

28、,ST Engineering,a global technology,defence and engineering group,has developed Heterogeneous Integration(HI),which is designed to provide optimal 5G connectivity in a highly compact footprint.HI solutions are composed of several integrated circuits enclosed in one or more chip carrier packages,conn

29、ected internally by fine wires bonded to the package,that can be stacked vertically or tiled horizontally.Making inspections faster and more cost-effectiveSupported by edge computing,5G networks are now responsive enough to relay high-resolution video in real-time wherever it is needed.The use of 5G

30、-enabled drones by Hong Kong Telecommunications to inspect cell towers points to how valuable this capability can be.The telco has found that the combination of 5G and edge compute is two to three times more responsive than 4G connections.The 5G network also provides five to eight times higher uplin

31、k bandwidth capacity,which makes it straightforward to relay 4K video from a drone back to the pilot/inspector.The solution has improved the operational efficiency of field service visits by 30%.In a similar vein,Keppel Offshore&Marine Ltd is using an augmented and virtual reality smart eyewear solu

32、tion,supported by a 5G standalone network from M1,to make inspections of its shipyard more efficient and effective.The business benefits are substantial:Keppel expects to lower the manual hours required for inspection by 50%from 16,000 to 8,000 each year.More broadly,5G devices,equipped with 4K came

33、ras and augmented reality software to provide digital labels,could be used to deliver remote assistance across a wide range of industries,including healthcare,manufacturing,logistics and utilities.The responsiveness of 5G networks means they are also well suited to supporting self-driving vehicles a

34、nd robots.In Thailand,the Siam Cement Public Company Limited is using 5G to develop a self-driving system to transport raw materials.Working with AIS,Siam has found that 5G can deliver high speed and low latency connectivity to a vast array of sensors,enabling the system to exercise precise control

35、of vehicles across multiple routes.The self-driving vehicles are supported by a 5G-enabled dispatching system,which employs artificial intelligence to optimise the real-time dispatch of trucks.Siam Cement says the system has boosted operational efficiency by more than 20%,while improving safety.Majo

36、r benefits today point to more innovation to comeIn conclusion,businesses across Asia-Pacific are harnessing the increasingly sophisticated capabilities of 5G networks across a very wide range of use cases.In combination with other technologies,such as edge compute and artificial intelligence,public

37、 and private 5G networks are now delivering very tangible benefits to businesses,employees and consumers.While standalone 5G networks and 5G mmWave are still in their infancy,early deployments of these new technologies highlight their potential to deliver very flexible and very fast connectivity in

38、a wide range of scenarios.That suggests 5G will prompt another wave of value creation across the economy in Asia-Pacific and beyond.How 5G is Transforming APACTen case studies highlighting the utility and versatility of 5G technologiesP.35G Catalysing for DigitalRevolution in the Cement IndustryThe
