VOA常速英语:5G is Coming, Get Ready

In the tiny state of Monaco on the Mediterranean Riviera, the future has arrived.These antennas are upgrades that will allow Monaco to handle the increased demands that 5G devices will put on networks.We’re in the process of installing the antennas on pretty much all the roofs because the aim is to cover the whole of Monaco.
在地中海沿岸的小国摩纳哥，未来已经提前到来。这些天线进行升级以能够使摩纳哥满足5G设备日益增长的网络需求。我们目前正在向所有屋顶上安装天线，旨在将信号覆盖整个摩纳哥地区。

It is the antennas you can see behind me that we’re in the process of installing and they will allow us to cover the whole Principality to have coverage everywhere inside.What is a 5G network?Without getting too deep into jargon,it will give your wireless device the ability to do a lot more of whatever you do online and do it faster and more efficiently.5G is 10 times stronger, so that allows us to provide coverage for all multimedia uses for the many more people who will be connected.
你可以看到，在我身后正在安装天线，这些天线能够使我们将信号覆盖整个公国，遍布各处。什么是5G网络？浅显易懂地说，它能使你的无线设备能力更强，覆盖范围更广，网速更快，更有效率。5G的网络强度是原来的10倍，这样我们就可以为更多的人提供覆盖全部多媒体应用的服务。

5G reduces the connection weight by 10 times.Therefore, we can connect immediately. And that is essential for new uses, such as connected cars.And 5G also allows at least 10 times as many connections per square meter.And that is a very important factor in the technological revolution.But the networks they need to work on haven’t quite caught up yet.
5G网络减少了10倍的连接权。因此，我们能够即时连接网络，而这一点对于新用途来说至关重要，比如在联网汽车中的运用。同时，5G网络每平方米允许连接的用户数量至少是之前网络的十倍，这是技术革命中一个非常重要的因素。但他们需要建立的网络还没有完全跟上时代的步伐。

Experts say as our lives, our homes and our cars become increasingly wired, we’re going to need all that new bandwidth.A few US cities have pockets of 5G, but don’t expect the speedy new services to really get rolling until the end of next year or even into 2020.Besides Monaco, it’s no surprise that the countries that are most likely to roll out 5G first are South Korea, China, Japan and the United States.
专家说，随着我们的生活、家庭和汽车越来越多地接入网络，我们将需要所有这些新的带宽。美国有少数城市具备接入5G网络的能力，但是这种快速的新兴服务设备要等到明年年底甚至2020年才可以投入使用。除了摩纳哥，还有其他几个国家具备推行5G网络的能力，包括韩国、中国、日本和美国。
