5G将如何让日常生活更美好？

In Barcelona, everyone's talking about 5G.

在巴塞罗那，每个人都在谈论5G。

As 100,000 people gathered in the Spanish city this week for the Mobile World Congress, the industry's annual conference, the next generation mobile network took center stage.

本周，随着10万人聚集在西班牙城市，参加行业年度大会——世界移动通信大会，下一代移动网络占据了中心舞台。

This is not just to do with its super-fast speeds, it's because 5G will create a ripple of developments that will change daily life.

这不仅与它的超高速有关，还因为5G将带来一系列改变日常生活的发展。

"5G is going to have a massive impact on people lives," says Laila Worrell, CEO of Altran North America, a high-tech engineering company. "We are going to see a big advance in quality of life that 5G can deliver for individuals."

“5G将对人们的生活产生巨大影响，”高科技工程公司穿越北美首席执行官莱拉•沃勒尔表示。“我们将看到5G为个人带来的生活质量的巨大进步。

5G and driverless cars

5G和无人驾驶汽车

For starters, there's the part it can play in your commute. Self-driving cars have been on the radar for a while, but with a 5G network they could become reality.

首先，它可以在你的通勤中发挥作用。自动驾驶汽车出现在雷达上已经有一段时间了，但有了5G网络，它们可能会成为现实。

Industry players claim 5G can be 100 times faster than 4G and that a huge number of devices will be able to connect to the network simultaneously. This will enable vehicles to talk to each other in real time: they'll know when another car is changing lanes or braking and can adjust to manage traffic accordingly.

业内人士声称，5G的速度可以比4G快100倍，大量设备将能够同时连接到网络。这将使车辆之间能够实时对话:它们将知道另一辆车何时在换车道或刹车，并能够相应地调整以管理交通。

"This car is permanently surveying the road around it and sending relevant bits of information up to the cloud, generating a true real-time map that in turn is pushed down to all the other cars," Christoph Grote, senior vice-president of electronics at BMW, tells CNN's Samuel Burke.

5G and bees

5G和蜜蜂

The benefits of 5G do not stop there. The network could also have environmental impacts when used in smart agriculture.

5G and the Internet of Things can help protect honeybees, and in turn the world's food supply.

5G的好处还不止于此。在智能农业中使用该网络也会对环境产生影响。5G和物联网可以帮助保护蜜蜂，进而保护世界粮食供应。

The future

在将来

Of course, just as we get our heads around what 5G can do, scientists are already working on the next big thing.

当然，就在我们开始思考5G能做什么的时候，科学家们已经在研究下一件大事。

"5G is good but 6G is better," says Ari Pouttu, a science professor at the University of Oulu, Finland.

“5G很好，但6G更好，”芬兰奥卢大学的科学教授阿里·普图说。
