01 / Overview

3G, the third generation mobile communication technology, supports high-speed data transmission and multimedia services; 4G, the fourth generation mobile communication technology, provides faster data transmission speeds and lower latency, supporting high-definition videos and real-time applications. From 3G to 4G, mankind has entered the era of mobile Internet, which has greatly enriched people's information acquisition and entertainment methods, promoted the popularization of mobile payment, social media, online education and other applications, and improved the convenience and diversity of life.

02 / How visitors use it

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

03 / The science behind it

Since the 3G era, with the improvement of bandwidth speed and the emergence of app stores, the threshold for mobile application development has been greatly lowered. It is no longer just professional device manufacturers who develop applications. Any individual with certain technical abilities and creativity can become a developer of mobile applications by learning corresponding development knowledge and tools. This has led to an explosive growth in the number of applications, giving rise to a wide variety of applications covering various functions and fields, meeting the diverse needs of different users. Thanks to the wide coverage of 4G high-speed network, the efficiency and quantity of services between people have been greatly improved. Mobile Internet has rapidly occupied every scene of food, clothing, housing and transportation of Chinese people, which ushers in a huge change in people's daily life - people do not need to bring wallets and bank cards when going out, and most people have become their daily habits of using computers to pay and navigate, sharing bicycles, live shopping, etc.

04 / Built for a public floor

Every unit leaves the factory after a running test: mechanisms cycled, electronics burned in, edges dressed, fixings torqued and marked. Wear parts — bearings, sliders, lamps, belts, touch panels — are modular and listed on the spare-part sheet, so a venue technician can replace them without returning the exhibit. Crating is plywood with foam blocking; the loading plan and packing list travel with the shipment.
