2G will be completely withdrawn from the network next year, and there are still 273 million people who have not migrated. The general trend is inevitable.

With the development and progress of communication technology, the mobile networks we use most now have begun to gradually move closer to the most popular 5G technology. Now many people have actually used 5G mobile phones and enjoyed 5G packages. Even if the coverage and actual transmission speed are not ideal, the speed of 5G can be said to be very fast. But do you know that there are still 273 million people in China using the 2G network of telecommunications operators.

In order to promote and apply 5G technology faster, China Unicom, one of the three major mobile operators in China, has decided to start centralized management of its mobile communication networks. The main target is the 2G network, which is now less and less used. The approach for 3G networks is to start the gradual withdrawal of the network by reducing the carrier frequency. In fact, this action was only started by China Unicom. It was our Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that really proposed this point.

In fact, many people may not know that there are still many terminal devices in the market that use 2G networks for connection. This may be the reason why China Mobile and China Telecom have not started to "take action". After all, upgrading the entire Internet of Things system is a huge project. However, this is also the general trend and it is imperative.

Did you know that the latest data in the second half of this year shows that 17.15% of all mobile phone users in our country are still using 2G networks. Many people may not understand why those people can still use such outdated technology leisurely in such a high-speed network era. But data does not lie, and this percentage is more than 200 million if converted into a population. The network migration of these people also needs to be gradually promoted. Starting from the end of this year, all mobile operators may no longer provide 2G service content to new users, so the number of people using 2G may decrease rapidly under the effect of saving money.

We know that 5G is very fast, but it requires a very high density of base stations, which may be much more than the number of 4G base stations. The parallel operation of 2, 3, 4, and 5G base stations is actually a huge waste of energy. After all, the 4G network with the highest utilization rate and the future main 5G network are the kingly way. Shutting down some 2G and 3G base stations can also provide space for the construction of 5G base stations and save energy for the country.

However, many people have their own opinions on the 2G network withdrawal. Some people think that 2G should have been shut down long ago, as they have not used 2G for many years. However, some people think that if 2G is shut down, the quality of calls and text messages may be affected in areas with weak network signal coverage. Instead, the 3G network should be shut down first.

However, since the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology can issue relevant notices, it must have done a thorough understanding of the situation. So everyone does not need to worry about the problem of calls and text messages after the 2G network is gone. 3G and 4G networks can well support such information intensity.
