Initial 5G technology subscription in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) during the next five years( by 2024 )will reach 60 million users, which would be almost double compared with the LTE/4G technology take-up for a similar period, Ahmed Ijaz, Ericsson’s principal consultant in Middle East and Africa announced. The 60 million number would be primarily dominated by countries in the Gulf, particularly Saudi Arabia, Ijaz added.

爱立信中东和非洲地区的首席顾问Ahmed Ijaz宣称，未来5年（至2024年），中东和非洲地区5G技术的初始订购用户将达到6000万，是同期LTE/4G技术的两倍。Ijaz补充说，这6000万人口将主要由海湾国家占据，特别是沙特阿拉伯。

Saudi Arabia was the earliest to deploy 5G infrastructure across the Middle East. With 5G technology eventually going mainstream, industries such as oil and gas – such as the use of drones with high-resolution 5G cameras connected to them – could harmonize their operations towards efficiency, said Wojciech Bajda, the head of Ericsson GCC.

沙特阿拉伯是最早在中东地区部署5G基础设施的国家。爱立信负责人Wojciech Bajda表示，随着5G技术最终成为主流，石油和天然气等行业可能通过使用例如带有高分辨率的5G摄像头的无人机来协调运营，提高效率。

“In Saudi Arabia, we find that the value of 5G will come from a select set of industries and these include the oil and gas sector,” Ijaz said. The network will help the industry in terms of controlling the pipelines and making sure there is monitoring of remote areas, Bajda meanwhile said. Smart transportation, Ijaz added, is another sector in Saudi Arabia that will implement the 5G network to help make road infrastructure safer in the Kingdom. Smart traffic systems, for example – operating over a 5G network – could help ease the flow of traffic through monitored cameras and sensors.

Ijaz说:“在沙特阿拉伯，我们发现5G的价值将来自特定的行业，包括石油和天然气行业。”Bajda同时表示，5G网络将有助于这些行业控制管道，并确保对偏远地区进行监控。Ijaz补充说，智能交通是沙特阿拉伯另一个将实施5G网络的领域，这将帮助提高沙特阿拉伯道路基础设施的安全性。例如，智能交通系统通过运行5G网络可有助于依靠监控摄像头和传感器来缓解交通流量。

On the consumer side, Bajda said that 5G technology for individuals is about experiencing better network speed. “Today, especially in the GCC, video consumption is huge; people have better phones and higher resolution screens that will help provide better quality of service,” he said.

在消费者方面，Bajda表示，对于个人来说，5G技术意味着更好的网络速度。“今天，尤其是在海湾合作委员会国家，观看视频的需求很大; 如果人们拥有更好的手机和分辨率更高的屏幕，这将有助于提供更好的服务质量。”

Mathias Johansson, Saudi Telecom Company’s (STC) head of customer for Saudi Arabia and Egypt, agreed, noting that one of the driving factors behind the large number of eventual 5G subscribers in the region would be the availability of 5G enabled smartphones. STC and Ericsson signed in February a deal to deploy 5G technology in Saudi Arabia during the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

沙特电信公司(STC)的沙特和埃及客户主管Mathias Johansson对此表示赞同，他指出，该地区大量5G用户背后的驱动因素之一，将是可使用5G的智能手机。今年2月，在巴塞罗那举行的移动世界大会(Mobile World Congress)期间，沙特电信公司(STC)和爱立信签署了一项将在沙特阿拉伯部署5G技术的协议。
