With the rapid development of the communication era, it can be said that every 10 years is a communication era. From 2G in the 1990s to 4G in 2010, networks were constantly upgrading as the demand for high-performance mobile communication services had not been fully met. The transition from 4G to 5G is the most significant change in communication history, in order to achieve a leap from communication to personal applications. As the next generation mobile communication network, the maximum theoretical transmission rate of 5G network can reach 10GB/s, which is 100 times higher than the existing 4G network. Download the entire high-definition movie in just one second. The arrival of 5G networks will once again change the world and bring about tremendous changes.


5G, as a new generation of mobile communication technology, is accelerating its development worldwide. 154 operators from 66 countries plan to invest in 5G technology. In addition to China, South Korea, Japan, and the United States, the United States is also actively building 5G networks. On December 27, 2018, the National Conference on Industry and Information Technology proposed to accelerate the commercial deployment of 5G in 2019, with a downward shift in standards, research and development, testing, and security support work. In the 5G era, wireless signals will extend to higher frequency bands, and the density of base stations and the amount of mobile data computation will significantly increase. Currently, the industry predicts that the number of 5G base stations will be twice that of the 4G era. 


In addition, the number of small base stations used to solve weak coverage and blind spot coverage problems is about 10 times that of small base stations. The printed circuit board used for high-frequency 5G base station antennas will be several times that of 4G. The increase in IDC and communication base stations will also bring about a huge demand for high-speed printed circuit boards.

Printed circuit boards welcome industrial transfer dividends

A printed circuit board (PCB) is a bridge that connects electronic components and circuits. PCB, as the mother of electronic products, is widely used in fields such as communication electronics, consumer electronics, computers, automotive electronics, industrial control, medical devices, national defense, aerospace, etc. It is an indispensable electronic component in modern electronic information products. In the current environment of accelerated development of cloud technology, 5G network construction, big data, artificial intelligence, sharing economy, Industry 4.0, Internet of Things, and PCB industry will become the fundamental forces of the entire electronic industry chain.


In recent years, downstream industries have become more diversified. The product application scope covers communication electronics, consumer electronics, computers, automotive electronics, industrial control, medical devices, national defense, aerospace and other fields. The development of downstream industries is interrelated and mutually reinforcing. On the one hand, the good development momentum of downstream industries has laid the foundation for the development of the PCB industry. The downstream industry continuously puts forward stricter requirements for high system integration and high performance of PCB products, promoting the evolution and upgrading of PCB products towards the direction of "light, thin, short, and small". On the other hand, technological innovation in the PCB industry provides possibilities for downstream product innovation, thereby further meeting the needs of the end market. At present, PCBs are mainly used in fields such as communication electronics, consumer electronics, and computers, with demand accounting for about 70% of the total PCB application market. 


With the rapid development of cloud computing, big data, the Internet of Things, mobile Internet, artificial intelligence and other new generation information technologies, a new round of transformation is taking place in the core technology system of hardware, software, services and so on. Its demand accounts for about 70% of the entire PCB application market.

In recent years, the sales of printed circuit board terminals have gradually increased, and terminal manufacturers have also increased the proportion of circuit board terminals. Due to the complex installation and large size, the corresponding railway terminal stations are limited. Slow sales and inferior performance compared to circuit board terminals. I believe that under the influence of 5G technology, more micro terminals will emerge.
