In the tiny state of Monaco on the Mediterranean riviera, the future has arrived.
在地中海沿岸的小国摩纳哥，未来已经提前到来。
These antennas are upgrades that will allow Monaco to handle the increased demands that 5G devices will put on networks.
这些天线进行升级，从而使摩纳哥满足5G设备日益增长的网络需求。
We are in the process of installing the antennas on pretty much all the roofs
我们目前正在向所有屋顶上安装天线，
because the aim is to cover the whole of Monaco.
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 are in the process of installing.
你可以看到在我身后，人们正在安装天线。
And they will allow us to cover the whole principality, to have coverage everywhere inside.
这些天线能够将信号覆盖整个公国，遍布各处。
What is a 5G network? Without getting too deep into jargon,
什么是5G网络？浅显易懂地说，
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.
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 is ten times stronger, so that allows us to provide coverage for all multimedia uses for the many more people who will be connected.
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 wait time by ten times,
5G网络减少了10倍的连接等待时间，
therefore we can connect immediately and that is essential for new uses
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，
such as connected cars and 5G also allows at least ten times as many connections per metre squared
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，
and that is about the roll out of the internet of things and that is a very important factor in the technological revolution.
这与物联网的推出有关，这是技术革命中一个非常重要的因素。
But the networks they need to work on haven't quite caught up yet.
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.
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。
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.
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。
Besides Monaco, it's no surprise that the countries that are most likely to roll out 5G first are
毫不奇怪的说，除了摩纳哥还有几个国家有可能推出5G网络，
South Korea, China, Japan and the United States.
包括韩国、中国、日本和美国。
