Standalone networks – as opposed to non-standalone networks which are shared with 4G but cannot support some of 5G’s core capabilities – require infrastructure to be built from the ground up, a time-consuming and costly process.
On Monday, Mayor Chen Rugui announced that the city has completed the goal set in 2019 to build 45,000 5G base stations by the end of August 2020, in a bid to support the establishment of the citywide 5G network.
It is said that the city’s current 5G industrial scale as well as 5G base station and terminal shipments rank first among global peers. According to the city's Industry and Information Technology Bureau, Shenzhen now has over 46,000 5G base stations.
The next step is to promote the development of 5G industries by making breakthroughs in 5G technologies and building a comprehensive 5G application ecosystem.
The tech hub in Guangdong Province in southern China is home to an impressive group of startups and tech heavyweights, including Huawei and Tencent.
KFC announced that they have halted their "Finger Lickin' Good" slogan given the current hygiene advice due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"We find ourselves in a unique situation – havin an iconic slogan that doesn't quite fit in the current environment", the company explained.
The global fast food giant revealed their new look through a YouTube video, showing the slogan pixelated on posters and their "buckets", saying: "That thing we always say? Ignore it. For now".
I don’t believe the slogan is a health hazard; I suspect it’s more a marketing ploy.
Anyway, KFC said the phrase would return when the time is right.
