近日，伦敦地铁将在2024年全面覆盖4G信号的新闻，登上了各大英媒的头条。没想到却引来国外网友一阵“冷嘲热讽”：到那时候6G都有了吧？

 

据英国《卫报》22日报道，伦敦市长萨迪克·汗（Sadiq Khan）宣布，伦敦所有地铁隧道和车站将在2024年底前实现4G信号全覆盖。

 

The London mayor, Sadiq Khan, who was re-elected last month, said: “I promised Londoners that if they re-elected me for a second term as mayor I would deliver 4G throughout the tube network.

萨迪克·汗在上个月成功连任了伦敦市长。他曾表示，“我向伦敦市民承诺，如果我连任伦敦市长，获得第二届任期，我将让4G信号覆盖全部的地铁网络。”

 

Transport for London (TfL) said work to prepare some of the capital's busiest stations, including Oxford¹ Circus, Tottenham Court Road and Bank, would begin soon, and they would be among the first fully² connected stations by the end of next year.

据伦敦交通局消息，牛津广场、托特纳姆法院路、银行区、尤斯顿等最为繁忙的热门车站将于近期开始施工，并将在明年底前成为首批网络全覆盖的车站。

 

其余站点将在接下来数月内分阶段扩大覆盖范围。据悉，整项工程铺设的光缆长度超过2000公里。

 

The infrastructure³ would be ready to seamlessly upgrade to 5G, TfL said…

伦敦交通局也表示未来将准备好无缝升级成5G网络。
