“This is a blow to the standards bodies and the timeline of 5G,”says Leo Gergs,Principal Analyst at ABI Research.“The cancellation of leading industry events,such as Mobile World Congress in Barcelona,caused more complicated workflows for the 3GPP.As a result,the freeze of Release 16(which is of key importance for 5G applications in industrial and logistics environments)has been delayed until June.This would,in turn,push the rollout of 5G into warehouses,shipping ports,and factory floors until at least 2022.”

ABI Research首席分析师Leo Gergs说：“这是对标准机构和5G时间线的一个打击。诸如巴塞罗那世界移动大会等领先行业活动的取消，导致3GPP的工作流程更加复杂。因此，对于工业和物流环境中5G应用至关重要的第16版的冻结已推迟到6月份。换句话说，这将使得推动5G在仓库、航运港口和工厂车间的推广，至少要等到2022年。”
