摩纳哥成为欧洲首个引进新一代华为技术支持的5G移动电话网络的国家,美国将这个中国公司视为主要安全威胁。
Monaco became the first country in Europe to inaugurate a next-generation 5G mobile phone network based on technology from Chinese firm Huawei, which is seen by the US as a major security risk.
移动运营商放弃了更慢的3G和4G网络,欧洲在对待开发了5G技术的这家中国巨头公司的态度上还存在争议。
As mobile operators shift away from slower 3G and 4G networks, Europe has been torn over its approach to the Chinese giant, which is a pioneer in 5G technology.
5G移动网络提供超快的无线连接,数据传输速度也快得多了。
Offering super-fast wireless access, 5G mobile networks offer much greater data transfer speeds.
法国亿万富翁泽维尔·尼尔旗下的摩纳哥电信公司于九月份与华为签署了一项协议,使这个小国成为欧洲第一个实现5G全覆盖的国家。
In September, Monaco Telecom, which is owned by French billionaire Xavier Niel, signed an agreement with Huawei to make the tiny principality the first country in Europe fully covered by 5G.
摩纳哥电信公司董事长艾蒂安·弗兰齐在开通仪式上说:“我们是第一个实现5G网络全覆盖的国家”。
"We are the first state to be entirely covered by a 5G network," said Monaco Telecom president Etienne Franzi at the inauguration ceremony.
摩纳哥数字化转型主管弗雷德里克·根塔补充说:“在摩纳哥,5G一定会为所有人提供更好的生活质量和非凡的机遇。”
"In Monaco, the 5G is the promise of a better quality of life for all and exceptional opportunities," added the principality's head of digital transition Frederic Genta.
华为副总裁郭平说虽然此次在摩纳哥开通5G覆盖面积比较小,但也是一次重大机遇。
For Huawei vice president Guo Ping, the rollout in Monaco is a major opportunity despite the small size of territory covered.
“这让我们在一些地区有了展示的机会,尤其是将5G的发展和这个智慧国家联系在了一起。”
"It allows us to make a shop window in a number of areas, notably linking 5G development to this intelligent state.
他补充说:“这为其他运营商和国家起到了示范作用。”
"It can serve as a model for other operators and states," he added.
